The Seven-Colour family banquet in a 2024 Ministry of Culture route names “braised Eight-Browed pork” among 25 dishes. It appears beside soy-braised beef, pork with garlic, spicy-sour pork loin, lamb neck and chicken with medicinal herbs. Other plates bring walnuts, willow blossoms and goji shoots to the table. Together the names create a broad palette of meat, nuts, orchard plants and greens under one banquet identity. The route describes the feast as an evolving menu built on the older “Eight Plates” form, with local ingredients and new combinations arranged for a shared table. The Eight-Browed pork is one dish in that sequence, placed among familiar meats and lighter plant-based accompaniments.

A braised dish among twenty-five plates
An evolving shared table
The menu names give the banquet a festive vocabulary. “Thousand-layer lamb neck” and chicken with scallions and medicinal herbs sit alongside the braised pork, while walnuts, willow blossoms and goji shoots add plant ingredients. Seven-colour pastries and an assorted platter extend the menu’s visual theme beyond its meat dishes.
The route describes the family banquet as developed from the older “Eight Plates” form, with local ingredients and newer combinations arranged for a shared table. The 25 named dishes show how that banquet is presented in the tourism feature, from the pork preparation to its varied accompaniments.
