The Legend of Dog Meat
Delicious through the ages, fragrant and ethereal.
And now people refuse, when will they denounce hugh?
Now when people say eating dog meat, the first thing that comes to mind is the summer solstice "Lychee Dog Meat Festival" in Yulin, Guangxi. Eating dog meat seems like a heinous thing. In fact, the source of eating dog meat on the summer solstice is not in Yulin, Guangxi!
According to historical records, the summer solstice day killed dogs to make up for their lives, which is said to originate from the Warring States period when Qin Degong ascended the throne in the following year. June is swelteringly hot and plagued. Qin Degong then ordered his subjects to kill dogs to avoid evil spirits according to the saying that "dogs are yang animals and can ward off ominous things", and later formed the custom of killing dogs on the summer solstice. The folk song "Li Xia, Eat Supplements" also shows that supplements began from Li Xia. But at that time, the right to eat dog meat was only qualified to be eaten by the nobles, and it was not forbidden to eat it by the nobles of the "soldier" level and above!
Because as a dog among the six animals, its identity is very honorable among the six animals! "Su Qing" said that 'five animals are beneficial' is a thing. The Zhou people provided six animals (horses, cattle, chickens, sheep, dogs, and pigs). In fact, in the beginning, dogs were divided into three categories: one was a housekeeper dog, one was a hunting dog, and the other was a food dog used as a sacrifice. The housekeeper is a safety need, because the dog's vigilance is high, and it will bark wildly to sound the alarm when encountering danger; hunting is the need for survival, because of the flexibility and speed of the dog, which can allow people to obtain food for the success of hunting, and is a good helper for humans; and sacrifice, in ancient times, especially in ancient times, is a very sacred and solemn thing, the sacrifice is sloppy, the dog's contribution to people is huge, and of course it occupies an important position in the sacrifice.
People choose dogs (that is, dogs) to do such an important thing, which shows the status of dogs in people's minds!
It was not until Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 troops south to conquer Lingnan that eating dog meat began to become popular among ordinary people. At that time, it was the height of summer, and the climate in Lingnan was extremely hot and humid. The harsh environment led to malaria, and the fog was scattered, which made the soldiers in the south miserable, infected and even died. So some people think of dog meat. After such a play, with the stability and prosperity of Lingnan, coupled with the high emperor of the mountains, the summer solstice to eat dog meat has gradually become popular, and some sayings have gradually been derived in the folk, such as "eating the summer solstice dog, the west wind detours", to the effect that as long as people eat dog meat on the day of the summer solstice, their bodies can resist the invasion of the west wind and rain, less colds, and good health. Based on this good intention, the unique folk food culture of Lingnan", "summer solstice dog meat", has been achieved.
Two thousand years of history have been precipitated, and the custom of "eating dog meat on the summer solstice" has disappeared in the north, while in the Lingnan region, driven by hot climatic conditions, the "summer solstice eating dog meat" has become more and more compact. Gradually, people forgot the origin of the summer solstice dog, and it was taken for granted that eating dog meat was a legacy of Lingnan people.
In the final analysis, Lingnan people eat dog meat, which is actually formed by factors of geographical environment and climatic conditions. Other regions eat dog meat to taste delicious, in the Lingnan region, in order to save life. Because dogs are simple to raise in the folk, dogs also grow fast, and they are one of the easier edible meats for people to eat. Folk also made up a slip of the tongue for the quality of dog meat: one yellow, two white, three flowers and four black.
In Lingnan, the practice of eating dog meat is prevalent, Guangxi is more than Guangdong, and in Guangxi, the mountains are more than the plains.
Guangxi has many mountains, look at the map of Eating Dog Meat in Guangxi, it can be seen from several places that are more prevalent, they are basically in the mountainous hilly area! Especially in the northwest region of Guizhou and the central and southern regions of Guizhou. For example, Yulin City, located in a hilly area; Baise City, a famous "furnace" city in Guangxi, Lingyun County is hidden in the mountains; Binyang County, the land with continuous peaks, is also the gateway to Nanning; Wuzhou, known as the "mountain city" of Guangxi, is the eastern gate of Guangxi; Cen Xi City, surrounded by mountains, rich vegetation, steep mountains; Guilin's Lingchuan County, which is surrounded by karst landforms; Guiping, although there are thousands of miles of fertile plains in the Xunzhou Plain, but it is also backed by the West Mountain, sandwiched between dayao mountain and Lotus Mountain! Liuzhou is also a mountain and a strange show, with a unique style!
From ancient times to the present, these cities are densely forested with mountains, surrounded by rivers and rivers, coupled with the unique humid and hot environment in lingnan, people have summarized a set of methods to deal with and resist nature, they found that the method of "dog meat cowardice" is simple and convenient, with a variety of Chinese herbal spices to effectively ensure people's health! At this time, the role of dog meat is not only the delicious taste of the stomach!
