Lianjiang County, Xiaocang National Autonomous Township, She people also have Wu Rice Festival, this day the village is bustling with activity. Wu Rice is a wild plant called Wu Nim Tree, which is used by the She people in the mountains. The leaves are taken and boiled in the soup, then the glutinous rice is soaked in the soup for several hours and picked up, and then put in a wooden retort to be steamed and made. The color of this kind of rice is blue-green and black with oil, and it is soft and delicious in the mouth. Because of its antiseptic and spleen-opening properties, the rice is packed in a ramie bag and hung in a cool, ventilated place where it will not become rancid for several days. If it is fried with lard, it is even more flavorful and delicious. Therefore, it is said that "one family steams ten families".

The origin of the rice is said to be that during the Tang Dynasty, Lei Wanxing, a hero of the She ethnic group, led the She army to rebel against the government, and was besieged by the army of the imperial court in the mountains, losing external support and cut off from food. In late autumn, most of the trees in the mountains fell, but there is a wild plant called Wu Nim tree, although the leaves fell, but the branches are hanging on strings of sweet fruit like pearls, everyone picked a handful to bring back to the camp, Lei Wanxing also tasted it, felt the sweet and delicious, and then ordered a large number of collection of wild fruits to fill up the hunger, the army food is solved, the resistance to the government army won a victory.

After one year, on the third day of March, Lei Wanxing suddenly remembered the sweet fruits he had eaten in the mountains, and wanted to eat Unimu fruit, but it was spring, and the Unimu tree had just sprouted green leaves, so there were sweet fruits. The townspeople had to take down the leaves of the tree and processed and cooked with glutinous rice, and the result was that the glutinous rice also showed the same blue-black color as the fruit of the Wu Nim, and the fragrance was very strong, and Lei Wanxing ate it with a great appetite, and was very happy, and he ordered the She Army to cook the rice every year on this day.

She people in order to commemorate the victory of Lei Wanxing's army against the soldiers, on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar every year, men and women go out to "trekking", collect the leaves of the Wu Nim, and every family cooks the Wu rice, which has been passed down to the present day as a festival of the She people, and now the "Wu Rice Festival" has retained its original customs.
