Yierden, in Daur language, means shaman sacrifice and Daur religious festival.
The festival will be held every year or on the third day of the next lunar month. At that time, people brought gifts such as wine, incense, hada and cloth to the main sacrificial Shaman's home. Before the ceremony, a small willow with green leaves was erected in the house, called 'Toro' (i.e. divine tree), and the bronze masks of the gods were hung on it. At the beginning of the ceremony, the accompanying shaman beat drums and chanted incantations, invited the gods to come, and then guided the main sacrificial shaman to dance around 'Toro'. Overlooking God is divided into four sections: the first section asks the "warm fruit" (i.e. the God) of the main sacrifice to the shaman to come, the second section asks the main sacrifice to the God of the shaman to come, the third section asks all the gods to come, and the fourth section sends the gods back that night; A blood eating ceremony was held. Kill a three-year-old sheep, take its blood, mix it with sheep's milk and wine, add nine small pieces of incense and nine small pieces of sheep's lungs, put them in a wooden bowl, and put out the lamp daughter-in-law in the room when eating blood.
The accompanying shaman and the chief shaman danced for God, and the rest sang songs to cheer them up. While dancing, the chief shaman smeared sheep blood on the statue of Toro, indicating that the gods had eaten blood. After the ceremony, move 'Toro' out for burial, and everyone has a meal and sacrifice.
