Qiang people
Qiang people are mostly followers of a native Qiang folk religion. It is pantheistic, involving the worship of a variety of gods of nature and of human affairs, including Qiang progenitors. White stones are worshipped as it is believed that they may be invested with the power of the gods through rituals. Qiang people believe in an overarching God, called "Mubyasei" ("God of Heaven"), which is related with the Chinese concept of "Tian" and clearly identified by the Qiang with the Taoist-originated Jade Deity.
