For thousands of years, human being is an permanent and new theme. Researchers, seekers and persons who is explaining have not even stopped the concern about this problem. With the social condition at that time and the historical background, the ancient Yi Nationality in southwest China had explored the thought and put forward some thought with national characters. There is a positive meaning so far. At present, with the development thoroughly studying of Yi Nationality, many scholars had already launched research to the ancient Yi Nationality's philosophy .For example, "Yi Nationality's philosophy intellectual history "describes philosophy of Yi Nationality's each period. "The ancient intelligence-Yi Nationality's ancient philosophy" has explained it from three respects: the origin of universe, the origin of mankind, social conception of history. But few of researches and scholars carried on the ancient Yi Nationality philosophy systematically actually with human being. So this text learns to the ancient Yi Nationality's thought on the basis of the ideas that forefathers study and acts as a tentative explorationThe ancient Yi Nationality's humanism is rare in ancient China philosophic history. This text discusses it systematically and overall with three aspects: the origin of mankind, people's position in the universe, the human's ethic, and tries hard to reflect the abundance of Yi Nationality's thought, and puts forward to reflecting completely the thought.The ancient Yi Nationality's humanism has distinct national characters; this paper carries on the discussion from two respects emphatically. In one hand. Bi Jiao is a peculiar religion and the whole people's belief in Yi Nationality. Its thoughts of life and death, etc., permeates and influences with the ancient Yi Nationality's humanism each other, and make the latter demonstrate certain characteristic through it with the ancient Yi Nationality. On the other hand, Yi Nationality's humanism exchanges with the Han Nationality for long. With the contrast of them, the ancient Yi Nationality's humanism of" human being origins from atmosphere " may have been influenced by ancient philosophy thought of the Han Nationality. So it has another characteristic to human-being of the Yi Nationality. These two aspects are the innovation of the paper.
