Bimo is the main inheritor of Bimo culture, and its inheritance has a strict system of apprenticeship, with family learning as the main and teacher learning as the supplement. There have been many famous branches of Bimo family and Bimo masters handed down from generation to generation in history.
Bimo culture usually takes Yi classics as the carrier and ritual activities as the behavior representation. In other words, the inheritance and dissemination of Bimo culture is completed in the blending and interaction of writing culture and oral tradition.
In today's traditional Yi community, the ritual communication of Bimo culture still integrates moral education, knowledge dissemination and literature and entertainment. Through complex ritual procedures and symbolic ritual behaviors, we can explore people's survival value, explore people's life thinking and enhance people's spiritual height. Therefore, Bimo culture and its ritualized oral communication have the functions of expressing national feelings, promoting social communication and maintaining cultural traditions, as well as condensing national identity, maintaining moral values and expressing folk aesthetic orientation.
Bimo literature condenses the core essence of Yi traditional culture, which is related to Yi social structure, historical development, cultural inheritance, national psychology, national identity, world outlook, outlook on life and values, and can be called an encyclopedia of Yi people.
