Detailed description
The Naizi River, in ancient times, was considered a sacred river by the locals and named the Mother River. According to Bon teachings, before the world was created, two lights appeared, one white and one black. The white light represents light, warmth, and wisdom, while the black light represents evil, ignorance, coldness, and hatred.
If we associate the white light with the sun and moon in nature, and further connect the warmth, light, and overflowing love that the sun and moon brought to the Diqing Tibetan ancestors in eastern Tibet, no one would deny the specific meaning of the white light. The implication of the white light is the high status of the sun and moon in the primitive worship of the Diqing Tibetan ancestors on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. To express their respect for the sun and moon, according to the "Origin of Bon," a long time ago, a god of light from the heavens descended to the earth, encountering another god who had also descended. After they united, they gave birth to children, settled down, and thus, human life began here. At that time, all kinds of delicious and sweet dews filled the ground for people to enjoy, but after eating these foods, people's own light gradually faded, and their weight increased. When people's own light was exhausted, the earth fell into darkness.
Due to the creation of all beings and the grace of Buddha, the sun and moon rose from the ground, darkness was dispelled, and thus there was a distinction between day and night and the reckoning of years and months. This place is called "Shangri-La" (also translated as Xiangbala), Tibetan name "Omolongren," meaning the ideal kingdom for human survival. It is quite normal for the Diqing Tibetan ancestors to name their two beautiful castles on the banks of the Naizi River as Sun City (Niwangzong) and Moon City (Dukezong).
