On December 21, 2011, the 8th China Jianyang Mutton Food Culture Festival opened at Jianyang Chuankong Cultural Plaza. During the period, the organizing committee will hold activities such as sheep racing, mutton gourmet skills competition, and healthy food tasting. According to reports, Jianyang mutton soup "boiled" nearly 800,000 sheep. It is expected that the demand for sheep will reach 900,000 this year, and will increase at an annual rate of about 15% in the future. In the next step, Jianyang will further improve the service level and quality of mutton soup shops, declare "Jianyang mutton soup cooking skills" to the national and provincial intangible cultural heritage, and apply to the State Trademark Administration to indicate the "Jianyang mutton soup" certification trademark .
