The original ceremonies of the Ch'i-tan tribe can be divided into two forms. One was held twice a year, in spring and in autumn. The other was performed specifically when meetings of a political nature took place. After the establishment of the Liao dynasty, the former became Ch'i-shan-i, and the latter Ch'ai-ts'e-i. The former was the most important national rite of the worship of heaven, while the latter was another form of the same worship. Following the example of the Chia-ssu of Chinese dynasties, ancestral souls were not worshipped as gods in the former, but they were treated as gods in the latter. In the Ch'i-shan-i, gods were not represented by symbols as we see in primitive shamanism, while in the Ch'ai-ts'e-i ancestral spirits were represented by wooden figures.
