The singing activities of singing the Phoenix are generally composed of 6 actors, and there are also mixed groups of men and women. One of them holds a phoenix made of bamboo strips and decorated with colorful paper. The phoenix is an imaginary "auspicious bird" of totem worship. It has a chicken head, colorful feathers, and a peacock-like tail. It is an artificially pieced together "divine bird". It is covered with gold and silver, and is gorgeous. One person plays the huqin, and four people are equipped with "four-piece" gongs and drums to accompany the singing.
