Stuart, Kevin and Hu Jun. 1993. That All May Prosper: The Monguor Nadun of the Guanting Region. ANTHROPOS 88, 15-27. (Published electronically with the kind permission of the Anthropos Institute.) Abstract: Religion and an agricultural economy combine to create a belief that NADUN, a village-level festival in the Guanting/Sanchuan Monguor Region, is important to ensure a good harvest and safety to man and animals. This is a detailed study of this festival; origin, organization, schedule, and performances, especially the Erlang procession, the dances, the fala going into trance, appearance of the Three Generals and the Five Generals, the rites concerning Shaguojiang, and certain festival variations.
