Bell dance is a traditional art form of the Yi ethnic group. It originated from Yi people's daily life and is usually performed during festivals to worship ancestors and gods. Dancers ring bells held in their hands in time with a rhythm created by drums and other bells. In 2006, bell dance was added to China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
