摘　　要：I first heard about the Mosuo matrilineal society some years ago, and it has intrigued me ever since. The Mosuo people, a branch of the Naxi ethnic minority, live near Lugu Lake, on the boundary of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. Within Mosuo culture, marriage is unconventional, by Chinese or any other standards, as women rule the roost in every sense.The Mosuo ethnic minority living near Lugu Lake, on the boundary of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, is a matrilineal community wherein a "walking marriage" can last anything from several months to a lifetime.
