Abstract

This article explores the typical female images in the folk myths of the Kangba Yi nationality, revealing the special reverence and emphasis on women in Yi culture. In the myths of the Kangba Yi nationality, female characters often possess excellent qualities such as wisdom, bravery, and kindness, becoming heroic figures in folk legends. These female images not only demonstrate the concept of gender equality in Yi culture, but also reflect the respect and praise of Yi people towards women. Through the analysis of these myths, beneficial inspirations can be provided for contemporary education, such as carrying out aesthetic education through beautiful things, cultivating people’s sentiments, improving their personality, promoting people to inherit the labor spirit of the Chinese nation, accelerating the development of gender equality education, cultivating people's humanistic literacy and values, and promoting the diversified development and prosperity of national culture.
