Bai Dabenqu is a kind of folk rap art in Dali Bai area of Yunnan Province.  It matured in Ming Dynasty and gradually lost its original stage because of a single artistic style.  "Yuanyang Lu" combines the non-mate-rial cultural heritage of the Bai nationality Dabenqu with modern drama, body drama and modern puppet drama, and carries out experimental innovations in the text and performance style of the original repertoire.  The Bai Dabenqu has been changed from "telling stories by rap" to "performing stories by singing and dancing" without stages.  lt is expected that the Bai Dabenqu will cross the language gap by artistic means so as to realize the cultural transformation that adapts to history and retains its own characteristics in the new era.
