Further comparing the ritual procedure with the text content, the author found that ritual and text constitute an intertextual relationship. Under the intertextual relationship, ritual and text were spread in an enculturation way, which strengthened the worship of the Pumi people on the tiger and the number 13. Enculturation eliminated the boundaries between ritual and text, then expressed the emotions and memories of Pumi people.

Key words: Text, Ritual, Intertextuality, Enculturation
