Two Conjuring Rain Cultures： One in Altai,One in Taiwan

Amagic Jada stone is an extremely rare calculus,or abnormal calcification,found only in one among ten thousand horse skulls. In days of old, Jadas were used to conjure up rain by ethnic peoples living in Altai, in Xinjiang, a region of northwest China To his surprise, the author found that the Pingpu people of Taiwan have a similar “conjuring rain culture.” In addition, other cultural relics show similarities between the two places. Such a coincidence leads to the author to speculate - could there be an ancient blood relationship between the inhabitants of Xinjiang in northwest China and Taiwan in southeast China-two communities separated by such a vast distance？
