Muli,located in the southwest of Sichuan province, is a multi - ethnic enclave where Tibetans are the main residents. Historical-ly,Muli was called the“Muli Lama Kingdom”( simply called the“Muli Kingdom”). This title summarizes the characteristics of Muli’s ruling sys-tem —namely that Tibetan Buddhism occupied the dominant ruling position and its role was powerful;the position of Tusi( the native official )and other key administrative positions were held by lamas and-politics and religion were unified. In addi-tion,during two to three hundred years of history, the Great Lamas held the position of Tusi,and ruled the area with the support of lamas and the temple hierarchy. Although there was aggression from the outside, there was no inside fighting. Succession was orderly. In contrast,this phenome-na was very rare in other Tibetan areas,therefore, it is worth while to research this phenomenon.
