The origin of march street festival.

According to legend, during the Nanzhao Fine slaves ROM period, Guanyin went to Dali to give a lecture on March 15, so at this time of the year, good men and women would set up tents to worship Buddha and recite scriptures. March Street became a temple fair for Buddhist scriptures. Because Dali is located in the traffic artery, there are many Buddhists in ancient Yunnan. With the development of social economy, temple fairs have gradually evolved into local fairs and festivals in western Yunnan.

Dali Juren Normal University has a poem: "Wuling Pazi, marching troops drive the Moon Street. Burn incense next to Guanyin stone and buy goods in front of Yuanzu monument. " This is a vivid description of March Street. Traditionally, March Street is a material transaction with mules, horses, mountain products, medicinal materials and tea as the bulk. Bai people should dance with songs, while Yi people, Bai people, Hui people and Tibetans should race horses and sing songs.

March Street is also called "Guanyin City" and "Guanyin Street"; "Sacrificing Guanyin Street" is a grand traditional festival of the Bai people, and it is also a grand gathering for the exchange of traditional materials and cultural activities of the Bai people. It is popular in Dali, Yunnan and other places.

At first, it was full of religious activities, and later it gradually turned into a grand material exchange meeting. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen from Sichuan, Tibet and Jiangnan provinces came here to do business.

The street is an empty flat slope at the foot of Cangshan Zhonghe Peak in the west of Dali.

Passing through the colorful arches made of pine and paper flowers, I soon entered the center of the street. The temporary sheds here are row upon row and uniform, and thousands of sheds form a new shed city. Bai, Naxi, Yi, Tibetan, Lisu, Pumi, Miao and Hui people dressed in festive costumes are choosing household appliances, daily necessities, fabrics and ethnic characteristics in front of the shed. In recent years, TV sets, tape recorders, refrigerators and other high-end goods have become popular here. Bai people's urgent demand for agricultural mechanization makes a tractor factory from Kunming very satisfied with the order received.

Horses and medicinal materials are the traditional bulk exports of March Street in Dali. Gastrodia elata, Cordyceps sinensis, Radix Notoginseng, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Codonopsis, and Artemisia xueshan collected from Cangshan Mountain; Tibetan saffron, velvet antler, musk, bear gall and other precious medicinal materials are very popular with mainland merchants. In the dusty horse market, the horses that didn't want to be tied kept kicking and blowing.

The six-day March Street is also a cultural and entertainment festival. People watch movies, exhibitions, sing duet, dance, watch Yunnan drama, play lanterns, listen to folk art and horse racing here ... Among them, the "Bullwhip" performed by Dali Culture and Art Troupe is very popular with the audience. Bawangbian is made of bamboo and wood, about 1 m long. Wrap it in colored cloth into five sections, and hang a few copper coins in each section. Dancers whip, dance in the sound of gongs and drums and suona, and make all kinds of vigorous and beautiful dance movements. I saw a colorful whip like a silver snake and dancing like a golden dragon. When colorful whips hit the dancers' shoulders, arms, waist and legs, they make a rhythmic "click" sound, which is pleasing to the eye.
