Nuo opera is popular in Sichuan, Guizhou, Guichi, Qingyang, Anhui and mountainous areas in western Hubei. Actors wearing wicker masks play the legendary exorcist, performing with repetitive and large-scale programmed dance movements, mostly on fixed festivals, and the dance style is very primitive.

As early as the Stone Age hundreds of thousands of years ago, witchcraft and religion had been formed. Witches wear Nuo masks, play all kinds of ghosts and gods, imitate their behaviors, dance Nuo dances, and drive away ghosts and diseases in the name of God.
