Qiang New Year is a traditional festival of the Qiang people in Sichuan Province, China, and is celebrated on the first day of the tenth lunar month every year. During the festival, the Qiang people worship the gods and pray for prosperity. Under the careful guidance of the Shibi (priest), the villagers dress in festive costumes, hold a solemn mountain worship ceremony, and kill sheep to worship the gods. Then, the villagers will dance the leather drum and Salang dance under the leadership of the Shibi. During the event, the Shibi chants the traditional epic of the Qiang people, and the people sing, drink and have fun. On New Year's Eve, the head of each family will preside over the worship ceremony and present sacrifices and offerings. In recent years, due to the increasing migration of people, the declining interest of young people in the traditional culture of the Qiang people, and the impact of foreign culture, fewer and fewer people celebrate the Qiang New Year; the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake destroyed many Qiang villages and severely damaged the Qiang people's gathering areas, and the Qiang Lunar New Year was therefore in a precarious state.
