A Story from Li Tradition
Deep in Wuzhi Mountain, the Li people discovered coconuts' natural preservation secrets. During rainy seasons, the village’s "Xiang Mu" (Li women elders overseeing spices) would store wild pepper, ginger, and herbs in hollowed shells sealed with beeswax. Surprisingly, spices kept in coconut shells emerged more aromatic than those in clay pots—a phenomenon the Li attributed to "Pa Ya Man" (the coconut’s spirit) capturing the essence of sunlight and sea breeze. To this day, centuryold "spice coconut jars" in Li villages glow amber from years of spice oils.
