Abstract
Based on the authentic records of the ceremony of SuMuZi by the Thi Ma of the Tujia Nationality,the paper analyzes the composition of the ceremony,which is composed of three different subordinate ceremonies.The authors then infer the formation of the ceremony from the analysis that based on the original ritual of the Tujia Nationality,the ceremony uses the Duan Gong's witchcraft in Han Dynasty as a reference,and comes into being after reconstruction and recomposition.
