The Bai ethnic minority, with a total population of around1.4 million people in China, live in tight knit communities with the majority living in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. The rest of the population is scattered among several other cities, including Lijiang, Kunming, Lanping and Yuanjiang. The ancestors of the Bai people were called ��Dianbo' and ��Sou' in the Qing Dynasty. The Bai people have been very close to the Han and Yi ethnicities since ancient times. Sometime after the Nanzhao Kingdom and during the Dali Kingdom, the Bais of the different areas became one ethnicity speaking a common language and sharing a common culture and economic structure. With regards to how they live, their houses are all unique and they believe white is a noble color and wear mostly white clothes. The men will usually wear white coats with black vests. There are several major festivals for the Bai people, with the biggest ones being the Torch Festival, the Shibaoshan Song Festival, the Patron God Festival and the Raosanlin. The biggest is called the Third Month Fair that lasts 7 days, beginning on March 15^th of the lunar calendar.
