Women in ancient attire perform the sacrificial ceremony dedicated to the Goddess of Silkworms at the Altar to the Goddess of Silkworms (Xiancantan) in Beijing's Beihai Park on April 24, 2013. The altar, built in 1742, was where sacrifices to Leizu (wife of the Yellow Emperor), who is credited with the invention of silkworm breeding, were carried out by the empress in ancient China.
