Shaxi:
A New Model of Tourism Development.- Sam Mitchell Nama Branch of the Bai The Nama and the Leimo: Both the Nama and the Leimo are considered two branches of the Bai minority, based in their common origin. At the end of the 18th century, the discovery of salt mines in the lands of the Nama, provoked a new migratory wave of Bai people from Dali The
celestial ox of the Nama branch: One of the most interesting
beliefs of the Nama is the cult of the celestial ox. The ox is considered
to have the power to prevent disasters... Bryan Allen.- Bai Dialect Survey- SIL International 2007 The
primary goal was to determine centres of communication for selected speech
varieties of Bai, that is to say, determine which lects are most widely
understood. A secondary goal was to assess the current definitions of
dialect boundaries by calculating lexical similarity.

Cai Kui, Du Juan, Dai Cong and Hu Huabin.- Cultural Relevance for Rural Community Development in China: A Case Study in Bai, Jingpo and Huayaodai Communities of Yunnan Province.

Mark Elvin, Darren Crook, Shen Ji , Richard Jones, and John Dearing.- The impact of clearance and irrigation on the environment in the Lake erhai catchment from the ninth to the nineteenth century.

In the few ethnographies of the Bai, a minority nationality of southwest China, the Gwer Sa La festival immediately draws readers' attention for its "unseemly" customs. It is "unseemly" because men and women will meet in the wild, singing love songs and performing "eccentric" dances. James A. Matisoff.- On the Genetic Position of Bai within Tibeto-Burman: Different
views as to the genetic affiliations of Bai: (a) that it belongs with
Chinese in a branch of ST called "Sinitic", to be set off from
TB proper. (b) that it is a member of the Lolo-Burmese subgroup; (c) that
Baic constitutes a separate co-equal subgroup of TB that has undergone
exceptionally intense Chinese influence. Susan McCarthy.- Gods of Wealth, Temples of Prosperity: Party-State Participation in the Minority Cultural Revival This article contrasts Chinese government support for the minority cultural revival among the Bai and Dai in Yunnan Province, with a crackdown on religious expression in Beijing. Inconsistencies in the state's behaviour in these cases might be attributed to arbitrary decision-making, or to "internal orientalism". The historical position of the Bai. The Bai language in Yunnan presents some interesting challenges for Chinese historical linguistics. It is sometimes considered to be a Tibeto-Burman language infiltrated by several strata of Chinese loanwords. Qin Xu.- Some Thoughts About The Cultural Space Protected of The Raosanling of Bai Nationality in Dali. It originally meant visiting the three public houses in the ancient times.
