On the afternoon of the seventeenth day of the first month, my father and I came to Guanshan with great interest. At this time, people are about to start the big pig race. We came to the shed of Saida pig, which was crowded with people. Suddenly, we heard a burst of firecrackers and people began to carry pigs in. I saw people vividly, but they were busy. The big pig was placed on a wooden frame with a height of 1 m, and thus the big pig race began.
I saw a lot of big pigs with their bellies cut open. All the big pigs were facing the same direction, and the red seals of 10 to 15 were printed on their bodies. From a distance, they look like a white blanket with red flowers on it, which is very spectacular. These big pigs, regarded as offerings, hold their heads high, with big oranges in their mouths and big red flowers on their heads, with extraordinary momentum. Every big pig has a red note with the words "Lu xx" written on it. Sticking this red paper, it is easy to tell which one belongs to whom. The whole scene was full of joy.
The reason why we want to hold a "big pig race" is to be bigger than whose pig. Every year, the "King of Pigs" is born. His pigs walk in the forefront and wear big red flowers, which has become the most glorious object of praise in the village. As long as they are called "the king of pigs", they will send pork to their relatives and friends because it will bring them good luck. So, everyone wants to get this nickname. But there are also some families whose economy is not very good. You can be a big pig with your neighbors or relatives and friends, and you can also promote relationships.
These big pigs are all raised by the contestants. They all treat pigs as babies and dare not neglect them at all. Pigs are fattened by villagers for nothing, seldom get sick and are all healthy.
More and more people look at the big pig. According to the old man here,
