Basic Introduction to Luojishan Wugu Chicken

Puge, also known as "Puji" in Yi language, means a grassland under a mountain pass. Puge County is a minority settlement county where the Yi ethnic group is the main body and 16 ethnic groups including Han, Hui, Miao, and Buyi coexist. Luoji Mountain, which is called "Anhalo" in Yi language, means 500 li mountain peak. It is named because the main peak is high and looks like a bun on the cloud. It is connected with Qionghai Lake and Lushan Mountain in Xichang, forming a large AAAA scenic spot integrating the characteristics of Mount Huangshan Mountain, Huashan Mountain, Zhangjiajie, West Lake and Dianchi Lake, such as "wild, strange, steep, secluded, dangerous and beautiful", with the keynote of geology, forests and lakes. The Wugu chicken is called "Aji Yelian" in the Puge Yi language. The Luoji Mountain Wugu chicken has a long history of breeding. According to page 157 of the first section of the sixth volume of the Puge County Annals, "the main poultry in rural areas is chicken, which is fed by every household and is a local variety. The meat is delicious and mainly used for free foraging. The Wugu chicken has high medicinal value..." According to the Puge County Animal Husbandry Annals, "Every household raises chickens, and the Wugu chicken eggs are also used. The meat is fresh and delicious, and the local Wugu chicken has high medicinal value. According to the "Le ó tey" (Origin of All Things), "After the opening of heaven and earth, six suns and seven moons appeared in the sky at the same time, causing the earth to be extremely hot and all things to be on the brink of extinction. The hero Zhegaaru shot down five suns, leaving only one sun, but nine days were bright and nine days were black. Emperor Loy wanted the world to be forever bright and sought help from the Sun Bodhisattva. The divine rooster" Dongzhi "came out to invite the sun and moon. In order to win the trust of the sun and moon, he became an enlightening star and instructed his descendants to disperse three times a day, three times a day, welcome the sun and moon, send them back, and maintain the normal operation of the sun and moon The relationship between chickens and the production and life of the Yi people can be seen, and the unique "chicken culture" deeply integrates into the unique folk customs of the Yi people, complementing their fire culture and wine culture.
