摘要：The previous chapters discussed Bai identity through the medium of Bai studies，recent memories and religious practices. This chapter explores some of the connections between legends，pilgrimage，state and locality as exhibited in the festival of gua sa na. This chapter will explore how and why this particular festival is projected in current media and its textual history. I will also present the self-consciousness exhibited through legends connected with the event and describe the event in 2005. Then I will discuss local government’s efforts to appropriate the festival. Finally，I will rethink the meanings and implications of this event. I argue that the meanings of gua sa na are often uncertain and contested，for it has been a means of maintaining relationships with both local deities （benzhu） and the state. And although the nature of this festival is regional rather than Bai，it is used as an expression of Bai identities.
