A legend tells that a very reputed chief, Sasui, led her people to fight in order to stick up for the interests and died later in war. People think highly of her and regard her as the virago of Dong society and the god to protect them.

Almost in every village in the south-east, there must be one memorial temple for Sasui. Actually, Worshiping foremother, as story goes, can be traced back to primitive time and is relics of enatic system.

Dong people offer sacrifice to Sasui during the first month of lunar calendar, the same period of Chinese Spring Festival. Activities around drum tower include: Lusheng unison, chorus of tens of persons, Taiguanren which is similar to Dionysian in the West, and Dong opera as well.
