In the minds of the Dai people, the "bird of God" peacock is a symbol of happiness and good luck. Many people not only keep peacocks at home, but also regard peacocks as a symbol of kindness, wisdom, beauty, auspiciousness and happiness. Among all kinds of dances of the Dai people, peacock dance is one of the most popular, familiar, changing and developing dances.

In traditional peacock dance, in the past, men wore golden helmets, masks and peacock wings with braces, and danced with musical instruments such as elephant feet drums, gongs and cymbals. With the graceful "three bends" shape, the peacock is portrayed as natural scenes such as "peeping in the forest", "walking in the forest", "drinking in the spring" and "chasing and frolicking".

Peacock dance is "diverse". Peacock dance is not accompanied by music melody. Although the accompaniment instruments are only percussion instruments such as elephant foot drums, gongs and cymbals, they are not monotonous. Elephant-foot drums are extremely rich in drums and their sounds change greatly, so performers usually choose a good drummer to accompany them. In this way, you can play colorful and exciting drums.

When the elephant foot drums, gongs and cymbals are played together, they can not only beat gentle and lyrical drums, but also beat exultant and vigorous drums. Drums inspire the passion of performers, and at the same time, the superb performing arts of performers infect drummers. When the performer jumps to the climax, the onlookers are led by one person to cheer: "I-I" or "water-water". At this time, there was an jubilant scene, and a short wave echoed.
