The famous festival sacrifice song and dance "Munao Zongge" of Jingpo nationality has an origin legend handed down from generation to generation: at that time, there were only songs and dances in the sky. It is said that one year, all the birds on the earth went to heaven for surgery at the invitation of Father Sun.
The poet took part in the "Song of Eyes and Brain" held in the sky, from which all birds learned to sing and dance. They returned to the ground happily, and then they recommended the best peacock to be a "brain pair" (meaning leader) and got together: they jumped together. It happened to be seen by the ancestors of Jingpo people, the Lagunza couple, and they secretly wrote it down and spread it around the world. Since then, the "Song of the Eyes and the Brain" has spread all over the world as a festival of singing and dancing and a day of offering sacrifices to national ancestors. Today, "Brain Double" still wears peacock feathers to commemorate peacock's contribution.
There is also a legend among Dong people: Dong people could not sing and dance in the past, but later they came to heaven to beg for songs and dances, but on their way back to the world of five grains, they accidentally fell into Longtan. Thanks to an otter who went down to Longtan to help them get it back, there was a song and dance and a festival of "stepping on a song hall".
The origin of dance is the first dance recorded in the ancient Dongba dance score "Dance Rules for Sacrificing Stone and Dressing". The scripture says: "In ancient times, in the rich and vast land where human beings grew, 360 Dongba could not dance. At this time, a sapling with thin leaves, called Haibada Tree, grew in the Miledagi Sea (said to be the first sea seen by human beings). There are three gods of victory living in the treetops: Dapeng, Lion and Dragonfly. The methods and skills of dancing were first learned by the three of them from the golden frog living in the Miledagi Sea. As for the golden frog, its dancing skills were learned from Pan Zhusa, a beautiful goddess of song and dance in Naxi legend, who lives in the 18th floor of Heaven. 360 Dongba dances originally came from here. " There are many similar legends that are still circulating today.
