Zhenkang County, which hosted the event, is located in the southwestern border of Yunnan, bordering Myanmar, and is one of the 19 land border port cities in Yunnan. "Ashuse" is a folk popular song and dance created by the ancestors of ethnic minorities in Yunnan that integrates song, dance and music, and is widely spread on the China-Myanmar border. In May 2021, "Asusser" was included in the fifth batch of national representative items of intangible cultural heritage.
