It is a multi-faceted art that was produced, developed and accumulated over the long history of the Kazakh people in the process of gradual integration and development of many ancient clans, tribes and tribal alliances. There are different views on the origin of Dongbula in the academic community. Some researchers believe that it has a history of thousands of years.

On June 7, 2008, the Kazakh Dongbula art was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
