The purpose of this paper is to clarify spatial composition of the Naxi house. In conclusion, (1) Although the plans are similar between the western people's house of Naxi and the eastern one, the principles of spatial composition are different. (2) In western people's house, the main room is divided into two spatial sections, which are male space and female one by diagonal axes of the "higher fireplace". And these principles of spatial composition are similar to Qiang's and Muya Tibetan's. (3) In eastern people's house, the principles of spatial composition are mixed with the one of the different culture.
