Lus’an
- Scope note
- New Year of the Thao people happens every August in the Lunar calendar, and Lus’an is held in honor of apu (“the ancestral spirit”) during the period. If the tribe has a lotsu or pariqaz, the new year would assume a large-scale celebration lasting up to an entire month; if no, the small-scale celebration of the new year last from three to five days. Lus’an entails a series of religious observance, led by shinshi and leaders from different ulalaluan units.
