Customs of Spring Festival in Qiandongnan Prefecture of Guizhou Province

The Miao custom in Qiandongnan Prefecture of Guizhou Province is to kill pigs. Pork is generally used for waxing, pig intestines are used to make sausages, which are reserved for next year's food, other water is used as food for the New Year, and pig bones are used to make Chili bones. Because Miao people live in a high place, they have to work every day and can't buy food often, so Chili bones have become a must-have food for every household.

Their menu is also very simple. A big pot is filled with home-grown vegetables, all boiled, and there is no oil or water. There is a big bowl of Chili bone next to it, which is dipped in meat! Very appetizing.
