This paper deals with the belief in the spirit of rice grain of the Dais and the Hanis in the Yunnan province of China. Even today, people worship sacred trees and believe in the spirit of rice grain in monsoon paddy field areas. It is believed that this spirit is a goddess and women embody it. The three aspects of the culture of this spirit are the worship of trees,the belief in the spirit of rice grain, and the feminine principle. This paper discusses the relationship between these three elements. The feature common to all three is the living power (the link between, and the continuity of, lives). I believe that our society today should respect the culture of the spirit of rice grain.
