These flags, flowing in different designs, can be seen around the "drum and bell tower" in the Hutong area of Beijing. However, the meaning of these flags is unknown.

The Naxi are closely related to the Tibetans. Their traditional religion of Dongba shares many characteristics of the pre-Buddhist Tibetan religion of Bonpo. A form of shamanistic animism, the faith takes its name from its practitioners, who are known as "Dongba" and are invited to chant scriptures at weddings, funerals, and other festivals.
