Features: This set of "The Collection of Primitive Religious Materials of Ethnic Groups in China" is divided into four volumes: the Tujia Volume, Yao Volume, Zhuang Volume, and Li Volume. The religious beliefs of primitive people are not only the origin of all human religions but, in a certain sense, 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 the doctrines they adhere to, or how sacred the ritual systems they establish, are in fact not derived from divine revelation but originate from the crude worship of primitive, barbaric people.
