Abstract
Zhuang Nationality's frog totem reflects strong women worship.Of course,it is true.However,it tends to be a fallacy if it is taken for granted without all-round analysis.In fact,as a historic,dynamic anthropological fact,the gender consciousness of totem has developed and changed.With the society development from matrilineal to patrilineal,the godhood of frog varied from female to male and ended with nothing.As far as the Frog Festival related to Zhuang Nationality's frog totem and the titles of frog are concerned,they reflect a historical process of social consciousness about women,from divinity to nothing,and of the successive substitution of gender consciousness from female to male.
