Humanistic characteristics

The sacrifice to Qinghai Lake has existed since ancient times, and the large-scale political sea sacrifice activities began in the Qing Dynasty. In 1724, the governor of Sichuan Province Yue Zhongqi pursued the subordinates of luobuzangdanjin in Qinghai Province. He prayed for water from the sea god because he could not find water. After the praying activities, he dug up water from the ground. Yue Zhongqi performed the imperial worship with "the God of Qinghai shows its spirit". In March 1726, the Qing emperor ordered the "Water God" of Qinghai to be "Lingxian Xuanwei Qinghai God" and gave the book "Lingxian Qinghai God". He ordered craftsmen to erect steles, build stele pavilions and send officials to offer sacrifices. Now, as one of the precious cultural relics in the area around the Lake, the stele is completely preserved in Hudong sheep farm, and the stele has been rebuilt, which is open to tourists at home and abroad. The sea god Pavilion is one of the important places for sea worship around the lake. Tourists can witness the sea worship activities with strong religious color during the period of April and may of the lunar calendar every year.
