The traditional festival theme song and dance "Weishuada Lili" in the lunar calendar on the eighth day of the second month is also known as "Yalili" and "Akabala." The music of this song and dance is melodious, the singing is powerful and bright, the dance movements are rhythmically robust, and the lyrics are very rich.
Every year on the eighth day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the national festival of the Naxi ethnic group. Families from the Naxi, Tibetan, Yi, Han, Lisu, Bai, Hui, and other ethnic groups within a hundred miles gather at Baishuitai to worship the gods, enjoy spring outings, and have picnics.
The Bowan Village holds a ceremony to worship the heavens at this altar on the seventh day of the second lunar month each year. The main altar is dedicated to the heavenly god (the father-in-law of the human ancestor Chongren Lien), the earth god (the mother-in-law of Chongren Lien), and the heavenly uncle (the uncle of the grandmother Chen Heng Baobai); the left side is dedicated to the natural god "Shu" and the altar for burning incense to the heavens.
The water source that created the natural wonder of Baishuitai has been revered as a sacred spring by the Naxi people for generations. The ancient Dongba texts record that the deity "Shu" who governs the natural world resides in this sacred spring, hence residents from near and far often come here to worship and pray for blessings and disaster relief.
