吕氏春秋
The Nuo opera is a kind of folk dramatic art that originated from a primordial religion. In the "Analects of Confucius", "villager Nuo" (or village Nuo) was mentioned. The "Lüshi Chunqiu" mentions that there was also a custom that whenever there was a celebration, grand Nuo (or royal Nuo) would be a necessity.
