Good year meal of 30 the eve of the lunar New Year what dish cannot go up desk problem, what each district has each district is exquisite, different place has different custom. Only a dish all has collective contraindication in China, that is dog meat. Chinese folk has " dog meat do not go up banquet " say. Namely dog meat cannot go up not only good year the table of meal of 30 the eve of the lunar New Year, it is general feast also abstains from go up dog meat.
"Dog meat do not go up banquet " custom, in China multiracial in have, especially with Chinese, seedling, precious jade, the nation such as the She nationality, Dong is most exquisite. Be like, some Chinese, seedling, precious jade to have " dog meat do not go up banquet, beef not ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for " custom. People is right " dog meat do not go up banquet " , but right " beef not ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for " the likelihood understands not quite. This kind of custom basically is in southern.
"Dog meat do not go up banquet, beef not ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for " see the contraindication that is like two kinds to differ, but these two kinds of custom are come down in one continuous line is in on the history.
Dog meat cannot go up banquet is not the animal flesh that dog meat compares other kind want difference, the mouthfeel that perhaps says dog meat is bad, people does not like. In fact dog meat is to a few people a kind delicate, odour of its urine smell is so heavy without flocks and herds. Olden, because folk abstains from somewhat to dog meat, furtive on the sly has a lot of people dog meat, not dare brazenly ground eats, that is terrible blame.
Folk is opposite namely to the contraindication of dog meat of the dog awe-stricken. At ordinary times people is not see the dog lowly, come to dog of person assimilate to scold easily, if Lu Xun has piece " " of funeral home " " capitalistic lack flunky " " , with will scold Liang Shiqiu. Be like again, somebody is what ground of be dead set follows the person with maleficent others " henchman " , call the special agent " dog spy " . Such, go to folk from bookman, abusing the person into the dog is a kind of normal, it is a kind of blurt out and those who go out is joking, also be one kind takes contumelious to scold a word, example too numerous to mention one by one. So people why Where is awe-stricken dog? This has to speak of from civilian myth.
(dish Hu fabulous picture)
Favour is fair sayChinese, the nation such as the seedling still circulates up to now the story of dog pilfer seed-corn. Fabulous day sends flood of all over the sky, develop the paddy in the rice field neatly, also did not have even paddy seed. In those days is the season with mature paddy, the dog that there is raise of a farmhouse in the village takes a risk to overshoot great river, go the rice field of a country rolls about, let go up personally stick full paddy. This dog has wanted a great river again when come home, the dog enters the water, the clingy paddy on the body falls in water, this dog is forced to rise tail vertical stroke forcibly, in after crossing a river, arriving home, remnant is returned on the tail only 7 paddy, people relies on these 7 paddy to make a seed namely, just had a meal to eat, multiply up to now. The favour of the seed-corn that people brings to thank a dog, when having a meal, the first bowl of meal must let a dog eat first certainly. This namely the custom respecting a dog of area of establish of Chinese water seed rice, still be in Chinese folk to circulate up to now.
Dish Hu saysDish what is Hu? For name of ancient mythological go-between, the dog of family name of tall laborious of the emperor in mythological fokelore, generally refer to is the first ancestor that southern pretty smooths later. See at " book of the later Han dynasty. Na Man is passed " and " search god is written down " .
Person of Miao Zu of West Hunan Miao Zu thinks his ancestor is dish of Hu, west Hunan " old saying " and " Ba Daigu song " recorded in book of two folk-custom culture " ghost bitch father " say.
Person of the Yao nationality also dish Hu adores as the ancestor. The data of civilian existent history of the Yao nationality dish Hu regards dragon dog, hu of the pan of a steelyard of the Yao nationality is first ancestor dish king. The Yao nationality still crosses dish of Wang Jie up to now, dish of old Wang Ge lives a life.
She nationality person also will dish Hu counts an ancestor. Ancestor plan says She nationality person again " dish Hu pursues " , because they do not have a character, cannot record ancestral history, concerned first ancestor dish the fabulous picture of Hu is on cloth. According to statistic, dish the canvas of Hu 40 come, image is comic style. These image are acting in them acting according to legend, call " ancestor graph " .
The dog is regarded as by a few nations already favour is fair, be regarded as an ancestor by a few nations again, on holidays, when perhaps placing banquet greatly, get on dog meat end table, it is pair of favour of course fair irreverent.
Mention above, besides " dog meat do not go up desk " outside, still have " beef not ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for " . Beef not Zu Zhi of hold a memorial ceremony for says basically is in south a few places, the reason is southern Zhu Zujun is rice people, basically have production for animal power with the ox. All through the ages has Niu Chongbai, since be adored content, how can you take ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for? This is civilian logic. Same argument, northward ass and equestrian both neither can go up year of table of 30, also cannot use sacred, because ass and horse basically are the animal power of northerner, it is the good associate of people, more or less is people still sentient to them.
Taoism is China's local born and bred religion, the regulation has 4 kinds of meat dishes to cannot eat, namely meat of beef, dog, wild goose flesh and mullet. Because the ox is plowed with one's shoulder to collar,eating beef is, too kind-hearted. Eating dog meat is the country is a dog very faithful, it is faithful to the person not the animal of 2. Because,eating wild goose is of wild goose chaste, allegedly wild goose is sheet is made occasionally, namely monogamy. Because snakehead stresses filial piety line,having snakehead fish is, its child active with body foster mother. By this token, abstain from to a few alimental on Chinese folk table, also reflect in religion ideological on, and the main source that civilian belief is considered as religious belief.
Anyhow, the contraindication on the table of meal of the eve of the lunar New Year of the Chinese nation, can take the place of most the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, also can take the place of most the traditional affection of folk of the Chinese nation.
