Xuanwei ham originated from the folk life of Han nationality. After the 16th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1383), the Ming government immigrated to Yunnan from the Central Plains, bringing with it the advanced production and lifestyle of the Central Plains. Every family raises pigs, and if they can't eat all the fresh meat before the end of the year, they will salt the pig's front and rear legs for next year's consumption.

After these immigrants came to Yunnan, they also brought this lifestyle here.
