This Mongghul bog (shaman performance) was held in Sughuangghuali Village, Danma Town, Huzhu Mongghul (Tu) Autonomous County, Haidong Region, Qinghai Province, PR. China on the eighteenth day of the third lunar month yearly. In 1998, the village had 760 residents, all of whom were Mongghul. Some said their ancestors were Mongols. The bog in this village were called 'Warishida Bog'. 'Warishida' refers to a place name in the village. The event is also called 'Dige bog' (Egg bog) because those who participate bring boiled eggs and knock their boiled eggs against other people's eggs. The cracked egg belongs to the person whose egg did not crack.
