Nuo folk religion, or extendedly, Chinese popular exorcistic religion, is a variant of Chinese folk religion with its own system of temples, rituals, orders of priests, and gods that is interethnic and practiced across central and southern China but is also intimately connected to the Tujia people. It arose as an exorcistic religious movement, which is the original meaning of nuó. It has strong influences from Taoism.

The Tujia (Northern Tujia: Bifjixkhar / Bifzixkar, IPA:, Southern Tujia: Mongrzzir, ; Chinese: 土家族; pinyin: Tǔjiāzú; Wade–Giles: Tu3-chia1-tsu2) are an ethnic group and, with a total population of over 8 million, the eighth-largest officially recognized ethnic minority in the People's Republic of China. They live in the Wuling Mountains, straddling the common borders of Hunan, Hubei and Guizhou Provinces and Chongqing Municipality.
