Abstract

Through retelling the Yi’s New Year myth and analyzing the rituals presenting in the festival, this thesis has made a rediscovery about the myth and its social values in a postmodern perspective and found that the Yi’s New Year myth is the spiritual source and homeland of Yi people, which include a huge amount of wisdom concerning survival and contain the belief of protecting intangible cultural heritage.
