Xibo people migrated westward for several years.

April 18 of the lunar calendar is Xibe's westward migration festival, which is called Duinbaizakun Festival in Xibe language. /kloc-Before the 6th century, Xibe ancestors lived in Songnen Plain and Hulunbeier Grassland for generations. 1In the middle of the 8th century, the Qing government recruited11 8 Xibe officers and men from Shengjing (Shenyang) and other places, and together with their families, 3,275 people, led by Manchu officials, moved westward to settle fields and guard the border in Yili, Xinjiang. On April 18 of this year's lunar calendar, Xibo people who moved to Xinjiang in the west and Xibo people who stayed in the northeast gathered in Taiping Temple, the Xibo family temple in Shengjing, to pay homage to their ancestors and have a farewell dinner. The next morning, Xibo officers and men and their families bid farewell to their hometown folks and embarked on a long journey to the west. After a year and five months of arduous trek, I arrived in Yili, Xinjiang. Now the Xibe Autonomous County of Chabuchar is where they live, and the Xibe people there are their descendants, so some ethnologists think it is more accurate to call it the "Western Expedition Festival".

More than 200 years have passed, and every year on April 18th of the lunar calendar, people will solemnly carry out various commemorative activities and regard this day as their traditional festival.
