The Lisu dance "Guake" is also known as "Dazhuanwu", which can be translated as "joyful dance". There are many branches, which are popular in the Lisu villages of Fugong County and Lushui County in the Nujiang Grand Canyon. It is a traditional entertaining collective dance of the Lisu people. The "Guake" dance in Lushui County is mostly based on "production dance", and the performance form is similar to the "Guake" dance in Fugong County. "Guake" can be divided into "Qiben Guake" and "Acapella Tap Guake". "Qiben Guake" is a dance accompanied by the instrument "Qiben" similar to the pipa; "Acapella Tap Guake" is a dance with stomping and rubbing steps on the ground as the rhythm. There are more than 70 routines of "Guake" dance, including one-step stamping, twisting and swinging, buckwheat-scattering dance, bear-chasing dance, hunting dance, knife dance, armor dance, volcano-cutting dance, grain-planting dance, rice-planting dance, broken board dance, water-carrying dance, smoking dance, cradle dance, pheasant-looking-for-food dance, leopard-swinging-tail dance, wheat-leaf-long dance, archery dance, etc. The content is very rich, covering production life and natural creatures. Among them, "Mi Yi Gua Zou" means "labor production dance", which reproduces the whole process of the Lisu people's slash-and-burn labor life. A series of processes such as finding land, cutting volcanoes, digging the ground, planting grain, pulling weeds, pulling corn, carrying corn, and harvesting are all artistically expressed in the form of dance. "Monkey's Fist Dance" is called "arrow rice asks for me" in the Lisu language. It shows the scene of monkeys stealing corn after the crops in the mountains are ripe. It consists of monkey fists (to determine the winner), clapping hands, pulling corn, combing hair, looking for lice, washing face, and turning over happily. The "Broken Board Dance" is called "Saijiao Baguopiou" in Lisu, which means "a strong person breaks the board". It is also a complete dance that shows the whole process of selecting trees, felling trees, splitting logs, and chopping them into blocks. These routines are relatively complete and can be performed as an independent program. The origin of the "Guake" dance is unknown. According to folklore, it was performed to drive away and step on rat spirits during the sowing season. The locations are mostly squares and fire pits in the house. "Guake" is performed by one or several people standing in the middle, and everyone dances in a circle; "Unaccompanied Guake" is based on stepping on the ground as the rhythm, and men, women, old and young dance in a large circle. The movements are bold and the emotions are high. When the dance reaches a climax, they cheer together "Waluma" and "Xialuuma" (meaning how harmonious and joyful the dance is), showing the unity and heroic national spirit of the Lisu people.
