Before and after the traditional Buyi festival on March 3, local villagers would dig up several edible wild plants on the mountain or in front of their houses, mash the roots, stems, flowers and leaves of these plants respectively, extract three pigments of black, yellow and purple, and then use these three colors to make red and white as the primary colors of glutinous rice. Five-color cooked flower rice is ready. Soak the washed glutinous rice in various plant dyes respectively. When all kinds of bright colors have deeply soaked the rice quality and the color of the rice has completely changed, take it to the water's edge and wash it. Finally, put it in a dustpan to dry in the shade, and the delicious flower rice will be ready.

Has the effects of clearing away liver-fire, improving eyesight, dispelling pathogenic wind, cooling blood, nourishing blood and eliminating nebula. Therefore, the flower rice dyed with plant dyes is not only non-toxic and harmless, but also has the effect of a small amount of plants. It is definitely a natural healthy food.

Buyi people steam delicious five-color glutinous rice in wooden steaming barrels. That rice, red, yellow, white, purple and black, is bright but not dazzling. Because all the raw materials come from nature, it can be described as the essence of nature. So the color and taste are natural, natural. You put them in your mouth and chew them slowly. The smell and taste will make you feel comfortable and comfortable in harmony with nature. I think this is one of the reasons why our ancestors asked their descendants to use Wuhua glutinous rice as offerings.
