Seventy-four types of Bai folk dances have been collected. The most representative and widely circulated one is the "Bawang Whip Dance", which not only exists in the three folk activities of "Rao Sanling", "Spring King's First Month" and "Tianjiale", but also occurs during house building, marriage or celebration. There are performances during the festival. The earliest record of the Bai Overlord's Whip Dance is "Rao San Ling Bamboo Branch Ci" written by Duan Shi, a Dali poet during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, which describes the Bai Overlord's Whip and "Octagonal Drum" in quite detail. It shows that Bawang whip has been popular in Dali area in the Qing Dynasty. The Bai Overlord Whip has various routines, and there are hundreds of styles of fighting. In addition to the Bawang whip in Dali's Rao Sanling, the Bawang whip in Naochun Wangzhengyue and Tianjiale in Eryuan County, as well as the Shilong Overlord Whip, Yunlong Overlord Whip and Binchuan Overlord Whip in Jianchuan all have their own characteristics. In Rao San Ling, there are two dances, the octagonal drum and the "Double Flying Swallow", that dance hand in hand with the Overlord Whip. Lao Sanling is only performed near the ancient city of Dali, so these two dances are only spread around Erhai Lake. "Li Ge Gao" and "Da Ya Sa Sai" are also called "Da Ge" by the Bai people. There is currently no reliable information on the era when it was produced. Judging from the content and artistic characteristics of the song and dance, it may be related to the nomadic and hunting life of the Bai ancestors. For example, the Lige Gao of Xishan Mountain in Eryuan is a dance that integrates singing, walking and dancing. Singing is the main part, and the movements are slow and lyrical. Jianchuan Dongshan's movements are simple and unsophisticated. It retains more of the characteristics of the original singing and dancing of the Bai people. The dragon and lion dance is also an ancient folk dance of the Bai people. There are many ancient lakes and lakes in the Bai area. Not only are there many myths and legends about dragons, but there are also many dragon carvings in the pavilions and halls. In today's Dali City, there are still place names such as "Longshou Pass", "Longwei Pass" and "Heilong Bridge". The dragon dance of the Bai ethnic group has unique characteristics from its shape to its performance. For example, the "dragon dance" performed by the Bai people in Jianchuan when praying for rain is made of willow branches. In the dragon dance of the Bai people in Dali, the dragon head, dragon body and dragon tail are not connected to each other. They can move freely during the dance, but from a distance, they have the feeling of being integrated. The "Dali County Chronicle" of the Qing Dynasty records: "On New Year's Eve, every house lights lanterns, and there are also fish, dragons, horses, and Aoshan performances... Visitors sing and dance until the end of the day." It can be seen that dragon dance was very popular in Dali during the Qing Dynasty. The lion dance in the Bai area has a long history.
