The ethnic Miao people usher in their most ceremonious Guzang Festival once upon every 13 years, in which family members and relatives gather together to pay homage, tribute and sacrificial ritual to ancestors with series of folklore fetes, including dragon-solicitation, sacrificial ceremony, Luseng dance, etc. According to ancient Miao songs, their ancestors established the Guzang Festival to sacrifice the Mother Butterfly who created the world.
