According to legend, in the past, the Nu people only believed in primitive religions. After the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism, they strongly resisted. The ancestor of the Nu people, Baima, organized many people to fight against the lamas of Puhua Temple, but each time ended in failure. On the tenth day of the second lunar month, Baima once again organized people to go to Puhua Temple and was injured by the lama with taro. Baima was furious and jumped into the Nu River in the north of the village.
