The Three Saints Nuo Dance is a traditional folk custom in the town. There are three masks. The red mask represents the sun, with four red flowers on the head, three on top and one on the bottom. Regarding its history, some say it is Zhao Gongming, a character in the Investiture of the Gods, while others say it is a civil servant in the ancient town during the Han Dynasty who was framed by treacherous officials and was tortured to death. In order to commemorate him, people made a red mask to commemorate him. The green mask represents all things, with a red flower and a red beard. He is the legendary grain god, and some believe he is Hongjun Laozu, a character in the Investiture of the Gods. The black mask represents the night, and the representative figure is the God of Covering.
