Features: This series of books is titled "The Collection of Primitive Religious Materials of China's Ethnic Groups." It is divided into seven volumes: the Lhoba ethnic group volume, the Achang ethnic group volume, the Mon-Khmer language group volume, the Pumi ethnic group volume, the Dai ethnic group volume, the Hani ethnic group volume, and the Jingpo ethnic group volume. The religious beliefs of primitive people are not only the origin of all human religious traditions, but in a certain sense, they are also the source of various cultural forms in human society. The religions of the civilized era, no matter how (great) the deities they worship, how (mysterious) their doctrines and creeds, or how (sacred) their ritual systems, are in reality not derived from divine revelation but originated from the crude and uncivilized worship of primitive people in the barbaric era.
