In order to pray for Leipo's blessing, the local Dong people sacrifice to Leipo every year on June 15th of the lunar calendar, so as to ensure the prosperity of six livestock and peace in the world. Because everyone should shout loudly on their backs when offering sacrifices, the name "Shouting the Heavenly Sacrifice" is hence named.
