Residents carry slaughtered pigs as sacrificial offerings during a parade in Shantou, South China's Guangdong province, Feb. 26, 2015. The folk custom, named Saidazhu (Big Pig Contest), came into being in Ming Dynasty (1368�1644) when people prayed for safety during an outbreak of plague.(Photo: China News Service/Chen Yixiang)
