Zhenxiong Duangong Play was also known as Qingbodhisattva, Qingtan, Da Nuo, Qian Qian, Yang Play, etc. It was commonly known as "Tiao Duangong" among the people. It was a rare primitive cultural living relic that was inherited from the ancient primitive witchcraft sacrifice to modern times. In the performance process, there was a play in the sacrifice, a sacrifice in the play, and a fusion of sacrifice and play. It was called the "living fossil" of drama and had many research values. There were several main forms of drama for Zhenxiong Duangong Play. One was Qing Bodhisattva, which was a sacrificial activity with the main purpose of fulfilling the wishes of the gods and taking the family as the unit. When the family was not doing well, people would ask Duangong to sacrifice and pray to the gods to exorcise evil spirits and ghosts to ensure the safety of the family and prosperity of the people. The ritual of Qing Bodhisattva usually took four days. The second was to dig cellars, which was mainly carried out when the weather was dry. By chanting scriptures and praying for rain, they prayed for the gods to send rain to achieve good weather and bumper harvests. This kind of ritual was usually done for three days. The third was to pay back money, also known as returning a wish. If a child was sick or the family was not doing well, they would make a life-saving money to the god under the leadership of Duke Duan. When they were satisfied, Duke Duan would be asked to sacrifice to the gods and pray for the repayment of the "money" to fulfill their wishes. This kind of ritual was usually done for a day and a night. The fourth was to do fasting, which was to do a dojo. They would chant scriptures for the dead and release their souls. This ritual lasted for a longer period of time, 49 days. In Xiaozhuokui Village, Tangfang Town, Zhenxiong County, there was Lang Xuezhi's Duangong Altar Class, which had been passed down for more than 100 years. The late Zhao Gaodou was the only famous figure in Zhenxiong County who had received the "Maoshan Buddhism". The Duangong Play of the Zhao family originated in Jiangxi and evolved in Sichuan. It had been passed down for eight generations. Zhao Zuxu, the successor of Nuo opera, began learning in 1976. His grandfather, Zhao Mingfang, and father, Zhao Gaoyong, were both famous Nuo opera masters. Zhenxiong Duangong opera's acting staff should be 20 people, the lead singer should be the altar master, and the chorus should be the helper (general master). The props included a real case (a hand-painted hanging painting made of cotton paper, with more than 80 Bodhisattvas on it), facial makeup (ancient characters and legendary images carved from chestnut wood, as well as folk characters), etc. Musical instruments such as drums, gongs, cymbals, cymbals, wooden fish, horn horn, conch, etc. were used to set off the musical atmosphere, dramatic scenes, and religious colors through wind music, percussion music, and musical instruments. On November 15,2020, Zhaotong Duangong Play "Picking Wood and Painting Beam" appeared at Liang Chenyu Theater of Kunshan Modern Kun Theater as one of the programs of Yunnan Province. This was the first time in the history of Duangong Play to appear on the national stage, raising the awareness of Zhaotong Duangong Play. However, the survival soil of Duangong opera was gradually shrinking, and it was urgent to protect its inheritance. It was of great historical and practical significance for its protection and research to enter the national art palace. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.

It was built in the Shu Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 1700 years. In the third year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty (1508), the Guizhou Xuanwei envoy (the Tusi of the Yi people in Shuixi) renovated the Elephant Temple at the request of the Yi people in Shuixi and invited Wang Yangming, who was exiled to Guizhou, to write "The Story of the Elephant Temple.""The Story of the Elephant Temple" was included in the "Guwen Guanzhi" in the 30th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1691) and became a work passed down through the ages. Yangming's thoughts also completed a new sublimation here, and the culture of the Central Plains and the culture of Shuixi also blended and coexisted here. The reason why the Elephant Temple was so famous was because of Wang Yangming's "Records of the Elephant Temple."

It was noted as Lingjiu Mountain and Bonan Mountain in Yunnan Province, but in fact, the temple was in Bijie Qianxi. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.
