Brief introduction of Shi Baoshan Song Festival

Bai Jianchuan's Shi Baoshan Song Festival is held every year from July 27th to 29th of the lunar calendar for three days. At this time, tens of thousands of young Bai men, women and singers from Jianchuan and surrounding counties such as Dali, Eryuan, Yunlong, Lanping, Heqing and Lijiang gathered in the mountains and plains such as Shizhong Temple, Baoxiang Temple, Haiyuju Temple and Jinding Temple in Shi Baoshan, and even played and sang Bai love songs in front of solemn idols. The lyrics are euphemistic, beautiful and pleasant to listen to, to commemorate a young and beautiful female singer in the legend two thousand years ago, and also to make new friends and even find a lifelong partner. As some singers have described: "On the Shi Baoshan, songs keep taking root like spiritual springs;" Songs are like fallen leaves all over the mountain, and the sound warms people's hearts. " . On June 14, 2008, with the approval of the State Council, the Shi Baoshan Song Club declared by Jianchuan County was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. 1 2
