Among them, the famous music such as "lone hero" and "vigorous brown horse" created by him is still widely recited among Kazakh people. Kazak is a nation that is good at singing and dancing. Musicians and poets are highly respected. Dongbula is a two string musical instrument, easy to learn, easy to carry, is a traditional Kazakh musical instrument, almost every family has. At that time, baishanbu dunanbai was carrying a handful of Dongbula. He traveled on the grassland all the year round to spread his music. At the same time, he often worked hard to calm down the disputes between tribes and resolve the contradictions between groups.

Baishanbu dunanbai was first a local official, then a musician. In 1824, King kuogdai, the local governor of Altay, died. For a time, the people had no backbone. At that time, there were always disputes of one kind or another among the people, such as grassland, water, civil and so on. In order to facilitate management, we elected four Bi, known as "the four major Bi". At that time, the Kazakh accounted for half of the ethnic minorities in Altay, and the four big Bi ethnic groups were the most influential people in the Kazakh abakkeriyi clan, among which baishanbu dunanbai was one. At that time, he was only 37, the youngest.
