Basic overview of dwarf spirit sacrifice
Dwarf spirit sacrifice is the main sacrifice of saixia nationality. It is held every two years after one third of the dry rice has been harvested. It occupies a very important position in the eyes of the saixia people. It has very special heterogeneous elements and is a sacrifice with the alien dwarf spirit as the core.
The low spirit sacrifice is divided into five parts, namely, welcoming the spirit, entertaining the spirit, chasing the spirit and sending the spirit. Each part occupies one night, the night in the middle; Entertaining spirits is the main sacrifice, which must be arranged on the night of autumn harvest, when dry rice is harvested. There are additional rituals before and after the five sections of sacrificial rites. Each section of sacrificial rites starts before the sun slants or dusk and ends after sunrise the next day.
