Introduction to the Cow Culture Exhibition Hall: Cows are one of the main objects of totem worship by the ancients. Humans have domesticated bison into domestic cattle a long time ago. Cows have "divine nature", which is a common understanding of many ethnic groups in our country. In the Li ethnic group, after planting rice in March and July every year, and in the "Ox Month" in October, a collective "luck-seeking" ceremony is held. At that time, men, women, old and young will gather at the home of the "mother" to dance "Lucky Dance", "Li Jiale", etc., and beat gongs and drums all night long. On the "Ox Day", the owners of the cattle mainly give their cattle a drink soaked in the "Ox Soul Stone" to show their blessings to the cattle. They also build cattle fences for the cattle, and it is forbidden to kill the cattle.
