<> it was illegal to slaughter cattle in ancient times, why did the heroes of Liangshan go to the tavern to eat and order beef? Agriculture includes cropping and animal husbandry! The ancients liked to eat beef, indicating that the cattle industry was developed at that time.

Don't confuse arable cattle with beef cattle. Why is pork rarely mentioned? The ancients believed that eating pork dizziness (high blood pressure and high blood lipids), phlegm (cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction) is wronged pork, of course, beef fat is less than pork, with this is an advantage.

The ancients ate beef with sauce beef and marinated beef, cut a ** and put on the condiments, which was fragrant. It is perfect as an accompaniment to the snack, but it can also be eaten empty. The ancients did not have the habit of drinking wine and eating, drinking wine and eating meat.

Drink wine in large bowls and eat meat in large chunks. Ate long strength. Speaking of the ancients, let's talk about the present, beef is too expensive to eat.

I think that in ancient times, when you enter the door of the store and shout "come to two catties of beef", it is equivalent to the modern door when you enter the door of the hotel and shout directly "come to the lobster of two feet seven", which is as majestic!

Of course, it was not legal to eat beef then, but now it is legal to eat lobster. It is precisely because of the illegality of killing cattle that it leads to the scarcity of beef! Scarcity doesn't mean there isn't, but the average person can't eat it!

The scarcity of the wide state also reflects the fact that those who can eat beef are either rich or expensive, and they are all powerful upper classes. The heroes of Liangshan were actually "court traitors", and writing in this way can just show a kind of rebellion! You have to swallow the dishes you shouldn't eat!

In the eyes of the imperial court, it is a rebellion! In the eyes of the common people, they are heroes!

This is if Comrade Black Whirlwind came to the door of the store and said: "Shopkeeper Pei Qiaofeng Er, please come and bring some meat, I don't have much money, it's really good to have some pigs in the water..."At the beginning of the Water Margin, it was introduced that Liangshan One Hundred and Eight Hundred and Eight Generals would descend from the sky, and they were also heroes in Liangshan, that is, bandits who robbed the rich and helped the poor. It was the people who worked against the imperial court, the scholar class at that time ate mutton, pork was cheap meat and was eaten by ordinary people, and the Liangshan heroes who were bandits naturally ate beef to show their identity the most.

Also, "Water Margin" is **, not a history book!

The ancient act of killing cattle was indeed considered illegal in some cultures, but it was also a common practice in others, especially for food.

About the Liangshan Heroes, they are a group of outlaws and rebels from the Liangshan region of ancient China, who are known for their bravery and bravery in battle. In the Chinese classical Water Margin, they are portrayed as ignoring social norms and laws.

In **, the scene of the heroes of Yangsan going to the tavern to eat beef with their mouths open is meant to illustrate their audacity and disregard for authority. They openly order beef, a food that is restricted or illegal in some cultures, showing their contempt and challenging the authority of the ruling powers. This move by Zheng is intended to demonstrate the self-confidence and fearlessness of the heroes of Liangshan, as well as their willingness to challenge the status quo.

It should be noted that the description of the heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" is fictional and may not reflect the reality of the time. This ** is a classic of Chinese literature, which is widely read and appreciated, but it should be understood from its historical background and its role as a **.

In ancient times, slaughtering was illegal, but it was not illegal for restaurants to have a special ground dry and void recipe that provided meat without burning, so you can eat meat at the tavern, not that you can't eat hall reputation meat.

Liangshan is so rough Li Fanhan feels that he has a special temperament, and he feels that he is particularly good, most of them are extralegal crazy hikers, no one in their eyes, and the shops they go to are all black shops, so they have to eat cow hail meat when they open and close their mouths, and feel that only beef can match their temperament.

Because these Liangshan heroes were originally extralegal fanatics, they did not abide by the law, and felt that only beef was worthy of their temperament.

Since the heroes of Liangshan want to rebel, they kill people and set fires in their actions, and of course they must eat a lot of beef forbidden by the imperial court in terms of diet. Therefore, the heroes have become "beef lovers", drinking wine in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat at every turn, and pointing out that the large piece of meat is beef, openly showing contempt for the law and the court. In "Water Margin", this is very obvious, the legally operated shop generally deals in pork or some other meat, but not beef, Lu Zhishen punched the town of Guanxi, the shop opened by Zheng Butcher at that time only hung three or five pieces of pork, and there was no beef in Xunyang Building, Jiangzhou, only mutton.

Most of the beef sellers are black shops, and the hotel of the mother worm Gu sister-in-law openly hangs beef; Liangshan's ears and eyes dry land Hulu Zhugui's hotel ** beef; The Shijie Village Hotel in the depths of the lake slaughters cattle and sells "flower cakes are also like fat beef"; The hotel of Li Li, the urging judge of murder and robbery on Jieyang Ridge, sells beef for guests to drink; The lawless dominatrix Sun Erniang even openly flaunted: "My steamed buns, the filling is scalper's." Gentlemen with status generally do not slaughter cattle, such as the small whirlwind Chai Jin's Zhuangyuan, the Chaojia Village of the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, the Songjia Village of Song Gongming's timely rain, etc., although they are all famous for "fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, and taking over heroes and heroes", but the hospitality is only "killing sheep and pigs", "killing chickens and ducks".

Those who dare to slaughter cattle in their own homes are all strong and powerful, such as Shijiazhuang of Shijin of the nine-pattern dragon, Mujiazhuang who did not block Mu Hong, and Zhujiazhuang, who is the enemy of Liangshanbo. Interestingly, there are many horses and cattle slaughtered mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is comparable to "Water Margin". On the one hand, this is because there are more plots to reward the three armies, on the other hand, it is also about the gathering of heroes in the war period, and it is necessary to eat beef to show fearless spirit, so when Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were three uprisings, they slaughtered white horses and sacrificed black cows to heaven and earth.

In "Journey to the West", it is only said that he killed cattle and horses once, that is, after Sun Wukong got the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, when he made friends with the Bull Demon King and other seven brothers, he held a feast. This is preparing to rebel against the Jade Emperor, so I want to eat beef. Although there was a bull demon king among the guests invited, beef still had to be eaten for the sake of the revolution.

Because they are lawbreakers. In addition, the subject can read "Tokyo Menghualu" to know that the commodity economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was very developed. It has always been difficult to strictly enforce the power of ancient feudal society in the local area, except for the Qin Dynasty (severe punishment) and the heyday of various dynasties, so the shops that sell beef are either also heroes. Or, this store may have a relationship with the magistrate under the condition that the implementation of the ** law is not strict, and the law enforcement will turn a blind eye; And then there is the most important issue, which is the source of goods.

In Kyoto during the Song Dynasty, whether it was Tokyo or Lin'an, according to historical records, there were still many shops dealing in illegal goods, but their sources of goods were obtained from other sources, that is, perhaps these stores collected and killed cattle that were not illegal, such as bison.

And most importantly, the beef shop could also be a fictional ingredient in the story. The raw material of this ** is the story.

In fact, except for Dream of the Red Chamber, which is the original work of a literati author (only talking about creative projects, not considering the number of subsequent authors of Stone Records), the other three are all works compiled and deleted by a literati who have scattered in the hands of many folk storytellers (who are also literati). So, maybe this beef shop in the Water Margin is fictional in order to set off the atmosphere of a hero, after all, it's a storyteller, if you don't talk about it, it's exaggerated, how can he make money? Storytelling, these historical books called Goolan Washe culture was also flourishing during the commercial development of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial court believed that the ploughing oxen had worked for the people all their lives and brought them benefits. It should not be killed. The heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" are anti-imperial court, and openly eating and selling beef should be a satire on the imperial court at that time!

Some people are okay to kill people, let alone cattle, and the cow of Lao Sun's sick and disabled can also be killed! Nowadays, there are many game shops ......

Because the author was from the Ming Dynasty, and there was a lot of high-quality forage in the south during the Ming Dynasty, it was natural to raise more cattle, and it was normal to eat beef. At that time, there was no such developed archaeology as it is now, and it is normal for the author not to know what happened hundreds of years ago.

Fictional things are still about whether they are guilty of crimes or not.

This question needs to be explained in many ways:

First, interestsRare things are the best. Cattle under the farming culture belong to advanced production tools, the Western Han Dynasty clearly ordered: no less teeth, killing cattle will kill people, even in the 50s after liberation, *** also issued "prohibiting any organ or individual to slaughter cattle" regulations.

But there are indeed beef sales, mainly ** falls, old diseases and theft and other ways, usually the common people look at the cattle more than life, there is a cow in the family is like an ordinary person in the 80s had a car, so the cow is very valuable, will not be easy to slaughter the cow, so the restaurant sells some beef is a scarce product, special dishes, and at the same time dare to sell beef The restaurant is also someone on the top, not afraid of the master, dare to face the official "difficulty", of course, the general official will not go to "cause trouble". Another important point is that it is not allowed to kill ploughing cattle, not cattle herding, the stories of the Water Margin heroes are mostly in the north, and the north is close to pastures, although this aspect of the Song Dynasty is not very developed, but the economy of the Song Dynasty is indeed cattle, and cattle can be bought and sold.

Second, show offIt's people who have a good face. The heroes in the Water Margin or the social hooligan Ah Fei, the land scoundrel, or the low-level characters in the prestige of the birds, it is a kind of pride to be able to eat beef in the restaurant, and it is a "realm" to dare to shout "two catties of beef", and it is also a manifestation of "Hao" to be able to eat at that time, (good teeth, good appetite reflects the strength of the body), eating beef with envy at the table is naturally a display of "identity", a kind of "show", showing the difference between yourself and the public, and raising your "prestige".

Third, domineering, what is a Liangshan hero? To put it bluntly, it's a group of masters who don't want to die, killing people without blinking, it's not a big problem for them to kill people, and there's less to do to destroy corpses or something? The law is made for good citizens, and if they can abide by the law, they will not make trouble in Liangshan, you see, Li Kui, Chao Gai, Er Zhang, San Ruan and even Wu Yong, this teaching gentleman, who has no life in his hands?

Let them obey the law, how else can this book be written?

The ancient law stipulates that cattle cannot be slaughtered at will, but the law also needs to have good enforcement, and if everyone does not abide by the official law, there is no way.

Because this can show that they don't care about the ban of the imperial court as anti-thieves, and beef is indeed better than other meats.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

** The provisions cannot be prohibited, driven by interests, there will always be people who take risks; The attitude towards cattle slaughter in different periods of the Song Dynasty was also different, and by the time of Song Zhezong, a lot of beef appeared in the market, and the cattle slaughter market was opened after repeated bans.

It is precisely because "Water Margin" is written about rebellion that eating beef should be used as a symbol of rebellion and betrayal of etiquette.

Looking at the Water Margin, it is not difficult to find such a picture, whether it is Li Kui or Wu Song, in short, they are such capable and seemingly vicious characters, as soon as they take a seat, they shout "Xiao Er, cut two catties of good beef." Such a routine line, and then the little second brother immediately happily served the wine and meat.

If this thing really happened in ancient times, the little second brother and the shopkeeper are afraid that they don't want to live, because of the illegal cattle trafficking, you will face the risk of being arrested by the government.

You must know that in China's long history, eating beef is a crime, the law of the Qin and Han dynasties stipulates that those who steal cattle and slaughter cattle are beheaded, and those who eat cattle are punished; The Sui and Tang dynasties, and especially the "Tang law" is the most stringent, if you dare to kill a cow, the official family will dare to kill you. In the Great Song Dynasty, cattle thieves and cattle slaughterers were distributed for 1,000 miles (the Song Dynasty was not allowed to eat cows or dogs); In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the cattle slaughterer was punished with one hundred and sentenced to one and a half years. See, in ancient times, unless the cow died of natural causes, and the local protector or patriarch had to approve it, you wouldn't want to touch a cow's hair.

Generally eating beef is nothing more than three points, one point is that you are dying of hunger, then it doesn't matter what the law is or not; You want to rebel and want to be **; Otherwise, there is something wrong with the brain and I want to experience life in prison.

The Chinese nation is an agricultural man, and the cow, a large animal, is a necessary labor force for the people to cultivate, and the ox represents this diligent laborer, symbolizing simplicity and kindness. Such a partner who pays for others, in ancient times, you actually wanted to eat him, which is the same reason that you are now doing indecent behavior in public and openly taking drugs. Of course, you can steal it, and the ancient people would have eaten beef secretly.

Now it's okay, eat the beef as you like, eat it until you don't want to eat it, if the ancients knew that there were such conditions now, they would be able to envy to death.
