Shaxian people have long had an indissoluble relationship with cattle. Shaxian Whole Cow Feast originated from the sacrifice of the Song Dynasty, according to records, Shaxian Xiamao Town Hong Mao, the ancestor of the Hong surname, served as a lieutenant in Shaxian County in the Southern Song Dynasty, and brought the sacrifice custom of "you spring cattle" in Gannan into Xiamao. In the era of material shortages, the cattle after the sacrifice evolved into the food of the local villagers to receive the blessings of the gods, and later gradually evolved into a table delicacy. Nowadays, whenever Xia Mao Town celebrates and invites guests and friends, the whole cow feast must be indispensable on the table, which has also become a local tradition.
