Abstract By analyzing the Naxi ethnic group's classic genesis mythology this paper introduces the cosmos structure in traditional Naxi mythology and its explanation for the solar and lunar movement and other astronomic phenomena makes a comparison with the Umbrella-Heaven Cosmos View one of the three main Chinese cosmos views and moreover points out that such a cosmos structure is not only a universal structure but also a social structure of traditional Naxi society. Finally the paper explains why Dongba the priest of Naxi was not charged with the function for observing the heaven by analyzing the traditional Naxi regime.
