The Miao nationality is a special nationality in Chinese history, which has a long history but suffered a lot. Its unique religious beliefs, customs, aesthetic concepts and so on have formed the most unique cultural landscape of the Miao nationality. Religious belief is not only the origin of primitive aesthetic culture, but also the core of Miao people's spiritual life. Religion integrates the long history, culture, custom and art of Miao nationality, and forms its unique aesthetic characteristics through the rituals, costumes, songs and dances in daily life, festivals and sacrifices. It transmits a strong and profound aesthetic style, and becomes the most sacred core force to guide the spirit and soul of Miao people.
