　　Blood sausage is a delicious dish created and passed down by the ancestors of the Yi people. The blood of animals was regarded by the Yi ancestors as the purest and most sacred gift from heaven, as well as the most flavorful and nutritious food. Due to the rugged mountain roads that hindered the circulation of daily necessities among the Yi people, those living in Yi villages would slaughter one or two fat pigs each year, commonly known as "slaughtering the New Year pig." During this time, one could enjoy a plate of fragrant blood sausage. The blood sausage from Zhongxin has a smooth texture, delicious taste, and is rich in nutrition. If you visit Yian’s Zhongxin, don’t forget to try its signature dish—“blood sausage.”
