Baisha village lies 10km north of Lijiang ancient town, west to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, south to Longquan Village, West to Zhishan Mountain. Being an old and beautiful small town, it is the earliest habitation and political centre for the Naxi Nationality.
During the period of the Ming Dynasty (CE 1368-1644), the reign of Mayor Mu (the then mayor of Lijiang) passed through its golden days. In order to show its stable political stability and economic prosperity, Mayor Mu built thousands of houses and palaces, forming a large-scale of architectural complex. The buildings like Baisha Crystal Palace, Dabaoji Palace and Dading Temple were all built at that time.
There are 558 murals in Dabaoji Palace, making it the place with the most murals in Lijiang. Murals collected in the palace are rare relics which were made in the Ming Dynasty, so the palace was appraised as the important protection unit of cultural relic of the nation.
Murals there combine the cultures of Han, Tibet, Naxi together, displaying the life stories of the Tibet Buddhism, Confucian and Taoism. They gather different schools of religious culture and art, forming a unique school of its own. The murals were painted by thoughtful arrangements, careful drawing, abundant colors, exact shapes, and lifelike characters. They absorbed the features of Dongba painting, which is boorish with strong color contrast, well-proportioned lines and refined brushwork.
The subjects involved in the murals are quite extensive. For example, vegetation, birds, insects, running horse, blooming lotus, forest and farmland can all be involved. These murals reveal the passionate life attitudes and sharp observation ability of the painters, who would also blend their ideas of fine art into the paintings of religious figures. And social life of their days would also be revealed in the murals.
Because of its distinguishing features of fine art and historical, cultural connotations, Baisha murals attract hundreds of thousands of tourists from home and abroad.
