The religious ritual is always the indispensable component of human so- cial lives, which mainly derives from its direct and effective communication approach, promoting ethnic inherent cooperation and solidarity, and at the same time, the costly signals. The costly signaling theory of ritual predicts the more demanding the religious te- nets are, the more committed the members are towards the group, the greater the cohe- sive forces are elicited, the more rationally the limited public recourses are utilized.
