String dance has a long history. According to research, Mangkang people began to dance string dance in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the string dance was mainly a single singing, which was a small-scale song and dance performed by the family as a unit.

The development of the ancient tea-horse road in the Tang Dynasty injected the vitality of innovation and development into Mangkang's string dance. The people of Mangkang constantly absorb the cultures of other regions and nationalities, nourish and develop string dance, take life as the theme, everyone creates, everyone dances and everyone processes, and constantly enrich their unique national, regional and artistic characteristics.

String dance has become a mass cultural and recreational activity, a cultural and artistic pearl in the long history of Tibetan people, and is known as the "charm" on the ancient tea-horse road.

Moreover, string dance reflects one's own life, expresses thoughts and feelings, and shows unique aesthetic and artistic interests.
