Introduction: Dancing in the glowing embers during the Fire Dance Festival of the Pà Thẻn people in Chiêm Hóa (Tuyên Quang) is a primitive belief, a faith in the spirit world and supernatural forces. According to tradition, at the beginning of spring, the shamans in the village will hold the Fire Dance (fire-praying) festival to recruit apprentices and pass on their shamanic skills.
