Written by yi dance in 1960. Wang Huiran, the songwriter, wrote in his creative experience: "At that time (1956), we traveled with the caravan of Yi and Miao nationalities every day, often stepping on clouds, holding the blue sky overhead and enjoying the majestic and picturesque scenery of hundreds of thousands of mountains. We were still on the road at three or four in the morning. The bright moon is in the sky and the night is charming, competing with the hazy scenery of the earth. " The above is the artistic conception described in Introduction to Yi Dance Music. He also wrote: "On the way to March, the villagers who drove the caravan often sang unique and colorful Yi folk songs and folk songs for us. We also paid attention to their performances and learned a lot of folk songs and dances. One of the most touching is Yi Dance's Cigarette Box Dance. Its beautiful and moving dance, soft and beautiful melody and light and elastic rhythm left an unforgettable impression on us. Together with other colorful Yi music, it has provided a solid life foundation for yi dance's music creation and accumulated rich music materials. "
