In central and southern Hebei Province where multiple religions coexist，people who believe in local folk religion generally worship Third Princess the goddess，and make their regular pilgrimages to Mount Cangyan which is believed to be a sacred site of Third Princess.This custom came into existence in the late period of the Qing Dynasty and was forbidden after the founding of the People’s Republic of China，especially during the Cultural Revolution.After the reform and opening-up，this custom revived.Currently，the believers make their pilgrimages to Mount Cangyan not only for blessings，but also for the completion of some long-cherished wishes，such as seeking children，returning dolls and reporting deaths.Because of the close links between rites in their life courses and Mount Cangyan as well as the Third Princess，making pilgrimages to Mount Cangyan has been one of the obligations that believers should fulfill to their family members.In some way，it is this kind of family obligation that has revived and maintained the custom in the era of reform and opening-up.
