The thesis has deeply studied and specifically researched the rituals and ceremonies of the crop-praying belief in the Northern Delta in general and in Lam Thao district, Phu Tho province in particular. In particular, the thesis has focused on studying and researching the worship of the manifestations of genital worship such as male-female relationships, yin and yang, male and female... which are symbols of sacred forces that create the growth, development, and development of all things, including humans themselves. Ethnologists call this phenomenon the cult of genital worship (sinh = giving birth, thuc = growing, khi = tool for growing, growing), which has the meaning of fertility, often called fertility worship. According to the opinion of many cultural anthropologists, fertility worship often develops more strongly in agricultural civilizations.
