Among the Miao people, it is said that Luidou was made to commemorate a tiger-fighting hero who fought for the people.

There is also such a legend in Danzhai County: After the Miao people in Qingjiang Village made a battle, the Miao compatriots from the Eighteen Villages of Jiuwan came to Qingjiang Village to sing and dance. Delaying the work in the fields, and fearing that there would be too many visitors and less food for his family, the wealthy in Qingjiang Village ordered the people to throw the drums into a remote cave and press them under the big stone slabs, and they were not allowed to beat the drums and sing and dance.
Since then, people have lost joy, seeds have not sprouted, and fruit trees have not blossomed. Later, despite the obstruction of the wealthy, the Miao people pried open the cave, turned over the stone slabs, took out a little bucket from the cave, and sang and danced on the courtyard dam. That year in Miaoling, the weather was good, and the five grains were harvested.
Since then, the Miao family has designated the first pig farm day in February of the lunar calendar as the "Drum-Tuning Festival". At that time, people dressed in festive costumes will gather in the Zhaizi Square, with a little fight as the center, drumming and dancing in a circle for three days and three nights. Since then, people called the singing and dancing with drums as the drumming.
