远古时期,中国北方曾有强大的、以放牧为生的游牧部落群。其中的一支向南方进行漫长的迁徙，最后到达西南边陲的雪山脚下定居。这就是今天的纳西民族。相传在迁徙中，纳西人自己的宗教“东巴教”日渐完善。又用形同宇宙间自然符号的东巴象形文字，记叙并流传下了具有独特含义的东巴经典，数目多达三万卷。这种古老的象形文字至今仍在纳西人生活中使用，成为世界上唯一还在使用的象形文字。迪庆藏族自治区中甸县的白地有一处奇异的景观“白水台”,山对面的阿明灵洞相传是东巴教祖师“丁巴什罗”修行传教的地方,因此东巴教和纳西族民间把白地当作“圣地”。白水台下的骨都村里住着一位年逾古稀的东巴教祭师和志本。他祖上几代都是东巴祭师。和志本多才多艺，猎牧耕织，样样精通，他更善作东巴法事尤其擅长作画书法。这使他对作画用纸颇为讲究，并亲自制造土纸，他家由祖上传下的造纸的方法一直密不外传。本片所纪录的事实证明，东巴形象文是当今世界上唯一还在使用的象形文字，而白地纳西族传统造纸术的传承，可能会使东巴形象文以其原始的形态保存下去。

It is said that the Baidi area of Zhongdian County, located in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, northwest of China, is the birthplace of Dongba culture of Naxi nationality. Seventy-two year- old He Zhiben of Baidi Gudu village is the area's most famous living Dongba shaman. The Dongba tradition has been handed down through his family for ten generations. He Zhiben is a master of Dongba scripture, who still celebrates the Dongba rituals. What's more, he carries on the almost forgotten craft of hand making paper upon which the ancient Dongba writings are copied. This documentary records the process of the techniques, and shows their using it to write Dongba pictographs.
This documentary proves evidence that Dongba writing is the world's only extant pictographic script, and that the preservation of this papermaking technique by Naxi people of Baidi may allow Dongba pictograohic writing to survive in its original form.
