Wuzhuang village in Shuangmiao town, Xiajin county has a longstanding tradition of breeding white jade birds dating back over 600 years to the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Resembling larks, these birds are known for their graceful figures, melodious chirping, and liveliness, making them ideal for large-scale breeding. They have strong reproductive capabilities and high chick survival rates.
