On December 23, 2023, a lively traditional festival called Diu Bao Festival( Bag-throwing Festival) was held in Jiangcheng County, Pu’er City, Yunnan Province, which connects the three countries of China, Laos, and Vietnam.

As a traditional event during this festive season, the video showed a skilled artist meticulously applying paint to a cow, creating stunning works of art on its body. According to the filmer, the pigments are all harmless for cow’s bodies.

According to media reports, the cow painting contest was originally inspired by local legends to prevent the beasts from attacking the animals, thank them for their hard work, and look forward to next year's bountiful harvest.

Diu Bao is a kind of rhombus cloth bag. In the past, the Yi people threw bags to express love and now it has become an activity that people from the surrounding areas of China participate in.
