On the shores of Lugu Lake in Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China, there is my country's unique "daughter country" (the name of the Mosuo matrilineal clan society), which is also the last country in China. matriarchal society. The Mosuo are a branch of the Naxi ethnic group and are said to be the last matrilineal society in China, where children take their mother's surname and daughters are more popular than sons.

Lugu Lake has twists and turns, dense forests, and six small islands, giving people the illusion of infinite distance. This is an attractive pearl on the southwest plateau of my country. The Mosuo people call it "Xie Nami", which means "Mother Lake", the mother's lake. The circumference of the lake is about fifty kilometers. On the north bank of the lake, stands a beautiful "Gemu" mountain, which means female mountain.

The Mosuo people regard her as the incarnation of the goddess. From the south and across the lake, Gemu Nu Mountain looks like a lion lying with its head held high. People also call it Lion Mountain. Some people known as the Mosuo people still retain the matriarchal "walking marriage system" in which "men do not marry, women do not marry, unions are voluntary, and separation is free".

Most of the society has unfair evaluations of the Mosuo people, such as "knowing their mother but not knowing their father", "mother and daughter living together", "having no father and no mother", but in fact, the Mosuo people are more Most of them "prefer girls over boys", and the walking marriage system makes both men and women fully equal. Moreover, generally speaking, after the child is born, the relationship between the two parties will be established. The man will bring gifts to visit the child when it is born, and give some food and clothing during the New Year and holidays.

But in daily life, they do not have too many responsibilities and obligations for raising and educating their children. Walking marriage is called "CC" in Mosuo language. In large matrilineal families where walking marriage is the main mode of marriage, men and women live next to their mothers and only spend time with their lovers at night. Mosuo men call their lovers "Axia" and women's lovers "Azhu".

Men are only responsible for their sisters' children. When they grow old, they will be supported and taken care of by their nieces and nephews at home.
