木懿，明末清初的丽江府土知府，他是木增长的子孙。他的生平故事开始于1624年，当时他继承了父亲的职位。在1659年，他投靠清朝，并在次年被授予丽江府的印章。
然而，吴三桂想要从吐蕃获得外部援助，但他发现丽江的防御系统非常坚固，因此在1667年派遣了一千名士兵来征调，但木懿拒绝合作，这导致吴三桂强行拿走了元朝赐予木氏家族管理边疆地区的一块金印。
一年后，即1660年，吴三桂又将丽江境内的一些领地如照可和你那等地割让给了吐蕃，并诬陷木懿私下与吐蕃勾结，将其逮捕并囚禁七个月。直到吴三桂失败后，木懿才得以恢复职务。
关于他的亲属成员，有记录显示他的长子名为木靖，在康熙五年的某一时间接替父职。而他的次子则成为了十世大宝法王，而第四子 木榽因其战功，被授予千夫长的称号。
有关事件之一是当吴三桂降服清朝之后，他率军扫荡云南时，尽管Wood family like their ancestors in the Yuan dynasty, they were the first to surrender and gained permission to continue their hereditary position as the head of the local government in Liangjiang.
然而，由于中央政府权力的增强，在Wood's later years, his title of "Local Magistrate" was nothing more than a ceremonial role. During Yongzheng's reign (1723), local leaders such as Arjuna and Ajudhyan requested that they be allowed to change from being ruled by a "Tusi" system to one governed by an appointed official. The court agreed, and Wood's hereditary position as Tusi was downgraded to that of a "Circuit Judge".
