Lurigele

Daur is an ethnic group good at dance and singing, and Lurigele is a typical folk dance popular among the Daurs living in Inner Mongolia. Lurigele is the local language that means "burning" or "flourishing" in Chinese. The Daur people like to dance in a traditional way while playing traditional instruments, especially during festivals. Usually women dance and men watch. Lurigele mostly indicates dances performed by women for self-entertainment. It is dominated by the form of group dance, mostly recreating hunting and working scenes. Borrowing themes from daily life, farm work and customs, women dancers imitate the acts of birds such as the eagle, chick, and cuckoo. They also imitate daily activities such as picking herbs, sewing, or carrying barrels of water. Meanwhile, the men hold meetings for hockey, horseracing, shooting and wrestling.

Women usually participate in group singing and most women own a musical instrument called a "mukulian," a traditional folk instrument of the Daur people.

Wuchun

Wuchun is a story-telling form popular among the Daur people and it’s common at festivals and big events like weddings. They are usually long stories, some of which were created by the Daur themselves and some of which were adapted from Mongolian and Man literary works. A complete Wuchun play contains three parts: a preface, body and ending. It is usually sung by one performer. In the past, the performance delivered a capella, but now musical accompaniment is provided with a stringed sihu instrument, drawing inspiration from the Mongolian art of Hao Lai Bao.
