About this item
| Description: | The origins of the Pumi people are explained. Pumi were called Xifan before, because Pumi came from where the sun set (the west, xi). There were nine generations of grandfathers, and seven generations of grandmothers. The seventh grandmother could marry with the ninth grandfather, but the ninth grandfather couldn’t marry with the seventh grandmothers. |
