——The product of unique geographical environment. According to folklore, the fragrant pigs settled in Huanjiang since the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to have a long history. Minglun, Longyan, Xule and other townships in the Huanjiang area are located in the hinterland of the Jiuwan Mountains and belong to the remote high zone of Huanjiang County. Most of them are Fengcongyu land with an altitude of 500-800 meters. The ground in the rocky mountainous area has short sunshine hours. , long crop growth period, traffic congestion, and remote mountain roads. Such unique environmental conditions have led to the formation of this miniature local pig species. Since the 1960s, due to the lack of progress in science and technology, people have tended to feed large, fast-growing, well-bred pigs in order to provide food and clothing, and have relegated short-bodied, slow-growing Xiang pig breeds to the sidelines. As a result, this rare breed has never been seen since then. The quantity will be greatly reduced in the future. In 1978, the Experimental Animal Institute of Jinan University cooperated with the Huanjiang County Animal Husbandry Department to re-excavate authentic varieties and set up research. With the help of Yibei's leisurely green mountains and green waters and pleasant climate, it was made with rich cereals, beans and the aura of mountains and rivers. Mountain vine wild vegetables are used as the main feed for fragrant pigs, and they are fed with appropriate amounts of unique and rare fragrant glutinous rice and fragrant japonica. They are mainly raised in captivity and fed two meals a day. After several years of cooperative development, it finally succeeded. With the continuous improvement of people's material living standards and the shift towards a diet that pays attention to nutritious food, this "noble family" among the pig tribe has regained people's love and achieved rapid development.

It takes two days and two nights to transport and endure hunger and thirst for thousands of miles, and rarely faints. The genetics of the unique germplasm above Xiang pig are very stable and there is no variation.
