Luoshi Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luoshi Kingdom (Chinese: 羅氏國 / 羅施國), commonly referred to in Tang documents as the Luoshi Ghost Kingdom (Chinese: 羅氏鬼國; "Spirit kingdom of the Luo Clan"), was a Nasu speaking ethnic Yi state located in modern-day Guizhou during the Tang and Song dynasties. The people practiced Bimoism, an indigenous faith that used shamanist rituals; its ruler called itself the "Great Ghost Lord" (大鬼主). The nucleus of the kingdom was located on the west bank of the Yachi River.[1]
