Dai is a nation with a long history. As early as the first century AD, there were records about Dai in China history books. In the Han dynasty, it was called "point moon" and "mountain"; In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was called "Golden Tooth", "Hei Chi" and "White Dress". It was called "Bai Yi", "Bai Yi" and "Bai Yi" in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After 1949, it was named "Dai" according to the wishes of the Dai people. Usually, people refer to the Dai people in the mainland and the frontier as "Han Dai" and "Shui Dai" respectively.

The former is called Han Dai because it is close to the Han nationality and absorbs more Chinese culture, but it is misinformed as "Han Dai", while the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, Menglian and Ruili, which maintain more national characteristics, are called "Shui Dai". Dai people call themselves "Dai Nuo", "Dai Ya", "Dai Na" and "Dai War".
