? The Origin of Sichuan Bacon
According to the records of bacon in the Book of Changes, it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Bacon's origin is not verified. But there is such a spread in Hunan. Tujia and Miao people in Xiangxi used to be called barbarians. They are descendants of the Chiyou tribe who competed with the Yellow Emperor for the world. Due to the defeat, their ancestors lived in seclusion in the mountainous areas of western Hunan for a long time. Living a hunting life, at first, they just hung the unfinished wild pork on the trunk to dry, and then used it to eat when food was in short supply.
