The Dai people living in Huaping, China are the northernmost Dai tribe in Asia, with a population of more than 6,000. Their ancestors migrated from Banna and Dehong during the Tang and Song Dynasties more than 1000 years ago. According to historical records, the Dai people at that time had entered the era of tribal alliance, and the strong political organization and the increase of population made them expand everywhere. After Nanzhao king invaded all parts of western Yunnan in the Tang Dynasty, the Dai people adopted the policy of "moving species to live in it" in order to "take the field", and they also immigrated to Huaping and other places.

Because Huaping Dai people live together with Han, Yi and Lisu people for generations, and are far away from Dai centers such as Banna and Dehong, great changes have taken place in folk houses and costumes, which are basically similar to the local Han people. However, in Huaping area, you can still find the main ethnic characteristics of the Dai people through careful observation.

The first is its living environment. From Huaping County to Tianxing in Xinzhuang Township or Longjing and Linjiang in Shilongba Township, you will find that the living environment is similar to Banna and Dehong. Around the river, there are lush green banyan trees, rows of banana forests, bamboos, and tall and flaming kapok trees, all of which are subtropical landscapes. The settlements of Dai people are very distinctive, and most of them live along the river, forming two main settlements in Huaping, one is Longjing and Linjiang in Shilongba Township on the Jinsha River, and the other is Tianxing in Xinzhuang Township on the Xinzhuang River. Most Dai people live in valley areas. There is abundant water, mild climate and fertile land, which is suitable for planting rice and sugarcane. Dai people also often say: where there is "climbing Weng Cai" (an edible plant), where the water is good, we will settle there.

Followed by eating habits. The Dai people's staple food is rice. Besides their own vegetables and meat, they also have their own unique flavor. If you like to add sour taste to food, the tender leaves of some trees are rare and delicious after careful modulation; After several processes, dried sauerkraut has become an indispensable delicacy for Dai people. I also like eating ground bees, moss growing in water.

The other is the Songkran Festival. Every April, ten days after Tomb-Sweeping Day, that is, the New Year of the Dai calendar, the Dai people in Huaping celebrate the Water-splashing Festival for three days, the first two days are to send the old and the last day is to welcome the new. In Huaping, if you want to take part in the Dai Water-splashing Festival, you must take a bus to Longjing and Linjiang in Shilongba Township near Jinsha River, where the Dai people mainly live. The activities of the Water-Splashing Festival are traditional and representative, and the activities such as flying high, losing bags, swinging, courtship and proposal by young men and women are full of Dai color.
