Protecting children is the focus of Nuo ceremony. During the Millennium Dance, the Great Bodhisattva Group will take the audience with their children and hide under its umbrella to seek the protection of God. The villagers put the Double Ninth Festival, the full moon of children and the birthday of the elderly on this day, hoping that the children will live a long life. Nanfeng Dance is not only a happy event to congratulate the birth of a child, but also a custom to make a wish, worship a deed and ward off evil spirits for the child. When the Nuo temple in Youshi village is searched, all the boys can climb the altar and watch it with Prince Nuo. The villagers said: the prince protects the children from ghosts and gods.
Praying for a bumper harvest in agriculture is another important purpose of Nuo ceremony. Nanfeng Nuo God Nishikawa Guankou Jiro originally came from Li Bing and his son, the god of agriculture and water. In Nuo Temple, there are statues of land, especially in Shanggan Village Nuo Temple, which is taller than real people, and the pattern of a white rabbit holding peach branches is painted in front of the robe. Rabbits can be productive and peaches can ward off evil spirits. This symbol expresses the villagers' prayers for grain harvest and population reproduction. Praying for a bumper year is also manifested in the ceremony of the Spring Festival. According to the records of Jianchang County in Qing Dynasty, after the Spring Festival ploughing ceremony, there were dances such as bamboo horses, Nuo, harmony and lions, dressed in colorful clothes and wearing masks. Nanfeng, which is under the jurisdiction of Jianchang Prefecture, still has the above-mentioned various Nuo dances. The first dance of bamboo and horse is one-legged dance, which has the characteristics of an ancient rain-praying dance-Shang Yang dance. Catching carp essence by otters is a Nuo dance based on the spring phenology of The Book of Rites and the Moon Order. The artist painted pockmarks on the carp mask, emphasizing that it is male, expressing the villagers' environmental awareness of not hurting the female livestock in spring. There are also records of Pingxiang Nuo dance in Qing Dynasty.
