Reviving the Lost Tribe

 

Luobu, also founded during the Western Han Dynasty, was the only Qiang village with complete earthen architecture, but the earthquake reduced most of its buildings to rubble.

The Qiang people are adherents of the shamanistic Shibi religion, similar to the Dongba of the Naxi people and the Bimo of the Yi people. One aspect of their worship is the placing of five white stones, representing the deities of heaven, earth, trees, mountains and the wife of the mountain god, on the roofs of their homes.
