Totem introduction: The ancient Qiang people are a pastoral nation that mainly raises sheep. Due to the important role of sheep in social and economic life, the Qiang people have gradually formed a worship of sheep. The Qiang people believe that in addition to providing daily needs, sheep also have souls that can protect members of their tribe. Therefore, the ancestors of the Qiang people placed it in a special position, adopted certain special rituals, and often worshiped it, hoping to receive its protection and benefits. The sheep has gradually become the symbol of the Qiang clan. Sheep totem worship is a common form of worship among the Qiang ancestors. Many remains still exist in Qiang settlements and is an important part of the Qiang’s original religious beliefs.
