During festive occasions such as the Shangsi and Qingming festivals, it's a tradition among the Miao people of Guizhou Province to prepare a special dish – five-color glutinous rice. Using the juice from various plants found in the mountains as natural dyes, they color the rice in five different hues. Neighbors and friends are usually invited to share this delicacy, chat about their lives, and make wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. Consequently, Miao five-color rice has become associated with entertaining guests, commemorating ancestors, and hopes for a bountiful harvest.
