The discuss becoming from two Main ceremony the marriage and the celebrating of new house. In the marriage, tea is the token, and is an important witness of the engagement and wedding between men and women in this village. Tea as a gift is to give the parents of the girl in engagement. During the marriage ceremony, must be to give the family of the girl too. And the fermented tea must be there in the presence of wedding ceremony, without fermented tea the wedding will have no meaning. Where there is tea, there is the polite. The people in this village living a life that is without tea.The third chapter focuses on the second basic oriented in religious life. First, present the religious situation of this village。 Due to the special historical reasons the village has a religious belief that Buddhism and Primitive religion blending characteristics. Many primitive religious rituals and activities permeated with a strong component of Buddhism, and Buddhist activity also has a lot of original religious content. This paper will be divided into religious activities as the center of Buddhism and as the center of primitive religion activities, but the two are often mutually permeable each other. The Dan and men become the monk are the classic text samples in Buddhism activities, the important role of tea in this activities bring the human person and the sacred ceremony of Buddha world together.
