- Abstract:
- Sai Shen custom, as the common folk belief and cultural landscape, widely exists in the Silk Road region, especially in the most typical area Hexi Corridor. Its essence is psychological adjustment behavior of ordinary people who are unable to resolve the contradiction of reality. Its main gods worshiped are God Arita, the Dragon King, King, Zoroastrianism God, marsh God and so on, which are closely related to the local production and life. Silk Road region’s unique geographical environment, regional culture and production methods, determine the profound cultural implication of Sai Shen custom.
