Introduction of Tiger Festival

In Shuangbai County, the Yi people living in wheat fields celebrate Tiger Festival from the eighth day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is called "Rome" in Yi language. On that day, after the adult men in the village worshipped the landlord at the back of the village, eight people were selected by the wizard. The eight men put on blankets with tiger stripes, painted tiger stripes on their faces, feet and hands, dressed as tigers, danced various dances simulating production, life and reproduction under the guidance of Hei Hu, and went to the village to exorcise ghosts and spirits for families. In Yi language, they are called "Roman Naibang".
