Question 2: What can't Yi people eat? Xiaoliangshan and most Yi people don't eat dog meat, horse meat, frogs and snakes.

Reasons for not eating dog meat:

According to legend, a long time ago, after the Yi hero Zhige Along shot down nine suns, the gods were furious and flooded, leaving the world in Wang Yang. Seeing that people will be tortured to death by this flood, the black dog, who is usually called the laziest, said, "Hold on, I'll go out and see what I can do to satisfy my hunger." After a long time, hopeful people really can't hold on this time.

At this moment, a man shouted, "Look, what is that?" I only saw the black dog swimming in the water, and there seemed to be something in his mouth. When the black dog swam to the shore, it had fallen, but people could clearly see a buckwheat with fruit in its mouth.

In this way, with the help of the black dog, the angry gods did not torture people to death. From then on, in order to commemorate the black dog, people announced that Yi people should not eat dog meat and should respect dogs. There is also a custom that as long as it is newly harvested food, it must be given to the dog first. So dogs are the gods of Yi people, so they don't eat dog meat.
