Traditional culture has both the best and the worst. One of the kinds of is avoiding fame. The history of the name is very long, and it existed in the pre-Qin period. It is recorded in the Book of Rites that the son of a courtier could not be given the same name as the son of the son. The Ram Chronicle records that the name is mainly for the honor of honorable people, wise people and relatives, and the original intention is good. But after a long period of evolution, it has become more and more outrageous.
After Qin Shi Huang unified the world, imperial power became supreme. The emphasis on fame is also becoming more and more demanding. The names of some objects cannot coincide with the names of emperors or even empresses, or even consonants. For example, The han guangwu emperor Liu Xiu has a "xiu" in his name, so "xiucai" has become "Maocai"; Shunzhi's name is Aixin Jueluo Fulin. Shunzhi himself did not mind, and the people could also post a blessing word during the New Year. But later, the word "Fu" also became taboo; Liu Bang's wife Lü Hou was called Lü Lu, so people did not dare to call the pheasant "pheasant".
In the Tang Dynasty, the grandfather of the founding emperor Li Yuan was named Li Hu. So the Tang people forbade the word "tiger". The ancient night pot was also called "Tiger Zi", and in order to avoid Li Hu's name, it was changed to "Mazi".
There is nothing wrong with changing the name of the night pot, the key is that in the Tang Dynasty, carp could not call its name directly, let alone eat it. Carp of the Tang Dynasty were known as "Chi Bao Gong". According to the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", the Tang Dynasty had a law that if you catch carp while fishing, you should release it immediately and cannot eat it. If someone sells carp, he is punished with sixty rods. Carp is also known as "Akatsuki Gong", and can also be slightly called "Akatsuki". Because the Tang Emperor's surname was "Li", it was consonant with "carp".
It is still bearable not to eat carp, after all, there are so many fish in the river. Pork was one of the main meats of ancient times. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was surnamed "Zhu", and if he did not eat pork, the people's life would be too tasteless.
During the Ming Dynasty, although it was not possible to call the original name of "pig" and call the pig "彘" or "豕", the people could still eat pork. The emperor also took the lead in eating pork. However, during the ming dynasty, there was a national ban on eating pigs.
It turned out that Emperor Mingwu Zhu Houzhao was not only surnamed Zhu, but also belonged to the pig. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao ordered the people to prohibit raising pigs and eating pigs. In the "Ming Shilu Wuzong Shilu", it is recorded: "When the upper patrol arrived, the folk livestock and pigs were forbidden, and the slaughter was exhausted near and far, and the farmers of the Tian family were thrown into the waters." "Wan Li Ye Zhi Zhi" also said that once it was found that pigs were killed and sold, the whole family, young and old, was directly distributed to the frontier, which was much more terrifying than selling carp in the Tang Dynasty. But pigs were used during sacrifices, and the people did not raise pigs, and the pigs of sacrifice could not be found. So the "pig ban" was lifted after a short period of time.
