The formation of the
sacred space in the human cosmology is the result of the long-term
interaction between man and nature. As for ethnic minorities living in
mountains, it is more often represented as sacred mountain worship. This
article analyzes the connotation of the sacred space of Yulong Snow
Mountain, including the unity of the Snow Mountain God and the National
Protector, the ethnic relationship and the mirror image of historical
events shown in the belief in the Snow Mountain God. Therefore, a very
unique case has been provided for the study of the concept of human
sacred space in the relationship between the sacred space of Yulong Snow
Mountain and Naxi people’s view of human love, the view of "spiritual
world in the mountain" that belongs only to people dying for love, the
relationship between Yulong Snow Mountain and the foreign and native
kingship, the sacred space belief form of Yulong Snow Mountain, and the
close relationship between the emergence and change of sacred space
belief and the social and cultural changes in specific periods.
