Primitive religion has existed since ancient times, and it is the principle for Menba people to understand, handle and solve the contradictions and conflicts between man and nature. "animism" is the "theoretical" basis of the primitive religion of the Menba nationality; Wizards and witchcraft are "lawyers", "judges" and "courts" between people and gods and ghosts. Until the middle of this century, people still sincerely believe that gods and spirits, Shan Gui water monsters, stone elves and tree monsters, birds, animals, insects and fish all have sacred auras.
Man is a part of nature, a phenomenon that people can't understand, and an object of belief and worship. The "roof beam god" worshipped by the Menba nationality is a wooden pestle-like object hanging on the roof beam of the living room to ensure the prosperity of people and future generations, which is actually a reflection of the primitive male genital worship. Sincere faith cultivates aesthetic feeling, and people think that houses with wooden pestle objects are beautiful from now on.
Ghosts and gods are everywhere and moody. They can not only bless the human world, but also often spread disasters and disasters. Any disease or ominous, abnormal or disaster is considered to be caused by some kind of ghost. Only by asking wizards to practice witchcraft and asking God to send ghosts can we eliminate disasters. Menba wizards include Denglongkan, Bawo, Juemu and Bamu.

Crowded on the altar of primitive religion to taste the sacrifices together. It doesn't have its own apartment, but it is recognized in people's minds. However, this religion did expand the belief of Memba people. They invited the god of this religion and found the highest master for the ghost on the hegemonic side of the primitive religion. They accepted the structural "theory" of this religious universe "three worlds" and combined it with the national reality.
They think that the mountain god they once worshipped is the "road to heaven" leading to the "Latin" world. Namgyabawa Peak, worshipped by the Menba people in Medog, is considered as a sacred mountain connected with the "La" boundary. The ghosts and gods worshipped by primitive religions are also accepted as members of the gods of this religion; At the same time, the gods of this religion also joined the ranks of ghosts worshipped by primitive religions, such as dragons, goblins and war gods.
