What is the traditional folk art of the Dai people?

The simplest is that peacock dance and Songkran Festival are the most famous.

They usually like dancing with cranes or peacocks as the theme.

There are dense bamboo forests around Dai dwellings, and bamboo woven products are indispensable in daily life and production, including bamboo stools, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, tea trays, fish cages and fish baskets. Bamboo weaving patterns include basket pattern, twill pattern, square pattern, palindrome pattern, mouth pattern, knot pattern and so on. Woven by two different natural colors inside and outside bamboo strips, the vessel presents a natural and simple aesthetic feeling. Some objects are painted with tung oil ash, painted with cinnabar, and then painted with gold powder, and then piled up and embossed with wavy patterns, grass-rolling patterns or peacock feather patterns, or inlaid with glass sheets and colored glass beads on the surface of the objects. This technique is called painting technique, and is often used in round tables, tea trays, baskets, boxes and so on. Used in Buddhist temples.
