The Bouyei Pan Song sprouted with the formation of the Bouyei ethnic group. It was formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, spanning the historical process of human society after the formation of the Bouyei ethnic group. The Buyi Pan Song has been circulated in the Buyi villages in the Beipanjiang River Basin since ancient times, and has a long history of inheritance. Since the Buyi people do not have their own writing system, they can only use songs to carry civilization and pass on culture. Pan Song is one of the important tools for the Buyi people to record history, express emotions, educate children, judge society, and reproduce life. The lyrics of the Buyi Pan Song record that the Buyi people have lived in the Beipanjiang River Basin for a long time. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Luoyue people were subjects of the vassal state, and many living customs and cultural characteristics of the ancient Luoyue people are still preserved. The Buyi ethnic group was called "Pu Yue" before the Qin Dynasty, "Pu Liao" in the Han and Six Dynasties, "Man" and "Fan" in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and "Zhongjia" from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the end of the Republic of China. In 1953, the state identified the ethnic group and unified "Buyi" as the ethnic name according to the wishes of the ethnic group.

It is a narrative long song with rich content such as the origin of mankind, the origin of the Buyi people, production and labor, interpersonal relationships, ethics and morality, marriage and house building, funerals and sacrifices. In the long process of oral transmission, every Buyi person is a singer. Everyone sings in labor, in life, and in festivals, forming multiple versions of the Buyi Pan Song that are similar in nature. Generally speaking, Bimos and matchmakers have relatively standardized singing methods in weddings, sacrifices, funerals and other activities. Singing in the Buyi language is another basic feature of the inheritance of the Buyi Pan Song. As a long narrative poem, the Buyi Pan Song should be read aloud, but in fact, it is mainly sung more often. There are many kinds of tunes used to sing the Buyi Pan Song. People of different ages, genders and regions choose corresponding tunes when singing different sections. The Buyi Pan Song can be sung solo or in duet, or one person can lead the chorus. The leader sings the content of the poem and the others sing the background words. Most of them are sung in narrative tunes such as "happy tune", "old man tune" and "sad tune". The Buyi Pan Song is an important carrier for the Buyi people to record the history and culture of the nation. It is rooted in the cultural tradition or cultural history of the Buyi group. It plays a role in confirming the cultural identity of the ethnic group and has become a representative "business card" of the Buyi people. Representative singers with great influence on Buyi Pange: Wu Tinggui, male, born in 1942, from Dongchang Village, Ganchangpo Village, Yangchang Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, Pan County, taught by Wu Deming, who was taught by his father; Pan Fanglin, male, born in 1948, from Zhangjiazhai Village, Yangchang Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, Pan County, taught by his father Pan Shiqing, who was taught by his father Pan Guihua; Luo Zhaoxue, male, born in 1953, from Yangchang Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, Pan County, taught by his father Pan Guihua; The natives of Xiaohekou Village, Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, belong to the Bumo tune singing method, which has been passed down from father to son for eight generations until Luo Zhaoxue; Cen Tiande, male, born in 1950, was born in Tianba Village, Ganchangpo Village, Yangchang Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, Pan County. He did not have a special teacher and learned by himself; Wu Anhui, female, born in 1965, was born in Xiaohekou Village, Yangchang Buyi, Bai and Miao Township, Pan County. She was taught by her uncle Wu Dingchao, who was taught by her father. Because the Buyi Pan Song has always been sung in the Buyi language, and the traditional writing of the Buyi people is missing, so far, except for the Buyi people, almost no one from other ethnic groups can sing it. In the villages where the Buyi people live in Yangchang Township, with the death of many old singing artists and the increase in young people going out to work in recent years, there are only a handful of people in the village who can sing the Buyi Pan Song completely. The situation is very endangered, and rescue and protection are imminent. (No pictures available, please provide them.) (No pictures available, please provide them.)
