origin

Ashi people are a branch of Yi people. Legend has it that a long time ago, Yi people lived a slash-and-burn life. During the spring ploughing season, they work for the chief during the day and plant their own "fire land" by moonlight at night.

In the field where the ashes have not been extinguished, people work barefoot, and when their feet are burning, they get up and jump twice and shout twice, which forms the basic step of dancing. Because this dance is under the moon, it later evolved into a dance for young men and women to entertain and fall in love, so it is called "Xi jumps over the moon".
