According to historical records, Shehuo performance can be dated back to as early as the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), and in some places, it had been incorporated with the Temple Fairs.

In addition to its sacrificial purposes, Shehuo performance was also a mass entertainment that involved a great deal of performers and attracted lots of viewers in ancient times.
