Huaihua - centre - market - chicken man - Chicken is an integral part of daily life in China and a mainstay of Chinese cuisine. Chinese customers prefer their chickens whole, and not just because they eat nearly every part of the bird. I have been told - "It's good luck from top to bottom." - "You can't put pieces of chicken on a shrine for your ancestors. It would be very inauspicious."
