Bai nationality's battle encouragement

It is said that during the Tianbao period in the late Southern Song Dynasty, three brothers surnamed Gu, Wang and Zhong served in the "cunbai army" (also known as CUA ̀ NBO ́ Army) of Mongolian general Wuliang Hetai. Later, the "cunbai army" was demobilized, and the three men were exiled from Dali, Yunnan to Sangzhi. In December of one year, Bai brothers were fighting Ciba to celebrate the new year. A gang of bandits suddenly besieged and robbed the village. Bai people used Baba pestle to fight back and defeat the bandits. Bai people used wooden pestle as props to dance and have fun to celebrate the victory of the battle. This is the origin of the battle encouragement. Later, Bai people changed Baba pestle into drum, accompanied by flute, suona, tuba, gongs, cymbals, and so on. At the same time, they created 81 sets of dance movements, which became a unique style of folk dance. Bai People's battle drum dance has been listed in the world intangible cultural heritage list.

That night, the spirit emperor of Erhe River told the king in a dream that sinuro was a promising young man and should help them. The next night, the city god entrusted the same dream to the king. When the king woke up at daybreak, he told his subjects about his dream and solemnly announced that he had admitted her marriage. People were very happy to hear that and went to meet aunt Jin. On the third day of the third month of March, it was the happy day of Jingu and sinuro.
