Women In Time Change History

This paper will describe how a Naxi ethnographer, a Han middle school principal, and a volunteer cyber diplomat produced exhibitions in three U.S. museums and published an illustrated edition of the Naxi genesis myth in English verse without leaving Kunming.

Gao Feng in 2001 had finished three major calligraphy series using Dongba pictographs to illustrate  three central Naxi myths with Chinese text:  Worship Heaven, Worship Dragon, and Worship Wind.    In 2004, Hu Ying translated all three into English.   Only Worship Heaven has been exhibited in the U.S. and the  catalogue accompanying it, edited into English verse as a children's book to reward parents with the delight of reading it aloud.  We are posting here Hu Ying's literal translations of Gao Feng's Chinese texts of Worship Dragon and Worship Wind as well as Worship Heaven.

Rereading Professor Guo's introduction to the first U. S. Exhibition of Gao Feng's Worship Heaven series, I realized my debt to him for changing my relation to my self as social scientist and myself as artist. I was trained in the discipline -- one might say tradition, even ideology or religious belief -- that social scientists, also journalists, could and should be objective. That what is so about the Hopi, or any culture, any one, any object outside the self, the subject, the observer, the reporter can be known and accurately reported to others.
