Let You Drive The Excavator, You Dug Out The Nuke

256. The Meaning Of Pigs, The History Of Chinese People Eating Meat!

Everyone was a little surprised after listening to the explanation.

I was also amazed that Fang Yang could tell the reason.

What happened 6,000 years ago, even if they went back to check the information.

For a while, I couldn't find out why.

But Fang Yang can tell the reason directly.

It's unimaginable.

Director Qin said with a smile: "Fang Yang, is there any allusion to this pot? Can you tell us about it!"

The others cast expectant glances upon hearing this.

After the explanation of the staff and patterns just now.

The archaeological experts at the scene unknowingly became Fang Yang's students again.

Fang Yang took the jar and replied with a smile: "I told you just now that the pigs on it are for pigs.

"Then let me talk about the cultural origin of pigs."

"From ancient times to the present, there has been a saying that the six animals are prosperous and the five grains are plentiful!"

"They are pigs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and the six animals."

"However, the domestication time of six domesticated animals varies from time to time."

"In the early days, the first three kinds were pigs, dogs, and chickens.

"Especially pigs, we Chinese people domesticated them independently."

"Speaking of which, I would like to add a point of knowledge to everyone.

"We all know how the country's family characters are written."

"There is a treasure head on the top, and a pig character on the bottom."

"This hog actually means little pig."

"In oracle bone inscriptions, the difference between a house and a pig is that a house is built for the pig, and a hut is put on top of the pig. That is the character for family!"

"In the eyes of the ancients, if there is a pig "057" in the family, there will be wealth and a home."

So the ancient pig was very important. "

"From now on, if anyone says that your house is as messy as a pigsty, you can refute him.

"That's right! This is what it feels like to be home!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the scene laughed.

Pigs are no strangers to everyone in Huaxia.

But the oracle bone inscriptions on pigs are rarely recognized.

Who would have thought that the difference between the two characters pig and home is that a house is built on top of a pig.

It can be seen from this that pigs were really important to people in the past.

Fang Yang continued to smile and said: "But the pigs in ancient China are not the meat pigs we eat now."

"As late as the 1950s and 1960s, a large number of that kind of pigs, Large White pigs, were imported from the country where the sun never sets, and the slaughter rate was very high.

"This has led to the elimination of pigs from China before."

"The most primitive traditional local pig in our country is that kind of black pig, which is very expensive."

"It's not the kind of black pig in the vegetable market, but the kind of very thin pig, not as fat as the vegetable market."

"So our Huaxia traditional pigs not only taste delicious, but also have much higher nutritional value.

"For example, Journey to the West is familiar to everyone."

"In theory, Zhu Bajie should be a black pig, not a big white pig!"

As soon as this word came out.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

All the pigs were withdrawn to Zhu Bajie.

But in terms of age.

When writing Journey to the West, the author must have thought of the black pig, not the big white pig.

【Qi】+1+1+1+1.

[Since watching Fang Yang's live broadcast, I feel like I have grown my brain! I actually know what clothes and why ancient people wore, and now I even know what ancient pigs are like. There is also the previous toilet, the fish symbol, which feels amazing. 】

[You are nothing, I just go out to eat with my girls, and they all pester me to tell them stories. I'll just repeat what Fang Yang said, and the effect will be so good, the girls love to listen to this, and they are all fascinated by it. 】

[I'm mad, does it still have this effect? ​​I'll try it next time, it's always been fun to listen to, I'm so confused!! No wonder I've been single for 20 years. From this incident, I can see that I'm single It’s not unreasonable!]

[Now I can feel at ease and not clean the room. If anyone says that I am too lazy to be like a pig, I will tell him this allusion. Haha, I feel good after thinking about it

After a while of discussion among the crowd.

Fang Yang explained again: "But in ancient China, pigs were not people's staple food in the early days.

"For example, people in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty mainly ate mutton."

"Beef is inedible."

"The killing of cattle was prohibited by official law until the Song Dynasty."

"Whoever dares to eat beef secretly will be exiled directly."

"Because among the six animals, cattle are very important to China's farming.

"After all, before mechanization, the arable land was plowed by oxen."

"Of course, this is only aimed at those ordinary people who have no power,"

"In ancient times, only the emperor and the princes could use a large cauldron to cook beef when they were offering sacrifices."

"It's the kind of bronze tripod. They were originally used for cooking."

"So the status of cattle was very high in ancient times, so that in the Song Dynasty, the law stipulated that the private killing of cattle was prohibited.

"If you can't eat beef, you can only eat lamb."

"Especially during the Song Dynasty, they loved to eat mutton."

"But there is a problem. Animals like sheep, like cattle, have to be grazed.

"It has to be fed grass to grow."

"And the sheep in ancient times are different from our southern sheep."

"When it comes to sheep, everyone's first reaction is that it is very smelly and the taste is too strong. Many people don't like to eat it."

"Actually, the mutton in the real saline-alkali land has no smell at all."

"Even after the mutton is ready, you can't dip it in the sauce. If you dip it, it will easily cover the original flavor of the mutton.

"So the mutton produced in the saline-alkali land in the north is the best.

"It's the same in the Song Dynasty, but there was no north in the Song Dynasty!"

"During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor was never occupied."

"He didn't have the best place to grow mutton! It was even more so in the Southern Song Dynasty."

"So slowly the supply of mutton becomes a problem."

"At this time, I have no choice but to use pork instead."

"But people at that time preferred to eat sheep, and couldn't accept pork instead of mutton for a while."

"In other words, they don't like to eat!"

"So Su Dongpo specially made a very famous dish!"

“Dongpo Meat!”

"Su Dongpo's original intention of making it is because the rich don't want to eat pork, and the poor don't know how to cook it."

"Rich people don't eat pork, and people without money can't cook it, so he invented Dongpo pork and provided a way."

"Pork gradually became popular because of Su Dongpo's dish, and eventually surpassed the status of mutton and became the staple food of Chinese people."

"During the Ming Dynasty, a large number of pigs began to be raised."

"But in the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew that the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, because his surname was Zhu."

"So there is a very serious problem. The common people in the Ming Dynasty stopped calling everyone pigs!"

"At the beginning, there were two ways to call it, one is pig and the other is pig."

"Human pig is familiar to everyone, right? Empress Lu made her rival in love into human pig."

"But these two characters, no matter whether it is family or pig, let the common people write them, they can't write them."

"That's why pigs are called another name, fat fat!"

"Pigs in the Ming Dynasty were called fat fat in the folk name."

After listening to this passage, everyone at the scene was amused and laughed again.

Such folk knowledge.

Don't call them archaeologists.

Even if a person who studies history comes, he may not be able to tell.

Because their research directions are all big events.

Few people study this meaningless folk custom.

But after listening to Fang Yang's explanation, I found it very interesting.

For example, this pig today.

It contains a lot of knowledge points that they have not heard.

The first is foodie.

The first thing in their minds is to try the sheep raised in saline-alkali land.

Is it really like what Fang Yang said, the taste is particularly wanting to have no smell.

The second is to look for the ancient lean black pig.

Taste what it tastes like.

But one thing is for sure.

It must not taste worse than the modern big white pig.

As for the last name, it is more interesting.

Fat fat!

In the future, when teasing someone, you can call him fat.

This is equivalent to calling him a pig in disguise.

【Qi】+1+1+1+1....

[Fang Yang is right, you can come to our place to taste the local mutton, it is not smelly at all, and it tastes very fragrant...Every time a tourist comes to our place, he has to eat at least one sheep a day, which is really No kidding. 】

[Speaking of this, we have to thank our ancestors. If there is no country brought down by our ancestors, if we want to eat mutton today, we probably have to apply for a passport. If we want to travel, we have to go abroad. The most important thing in a country is the land Area, before I didn’t understand why such a small island was fighting to the death, but now I understand, every inch of land is worth fighting for! 1

[Cows are rarely killed and eaten even now. In my impression, when I was young, many families raised a cow in partnership. I am afraid that it will be tired and sick. It has supported countless families. Without it, it is hard to imagine how to do such a job as digging the farmland! Digging with a shovel alone may kill people. 】

——[When I was a child, I let go of cattle. At that time, the status of cattle was indeed very high. Generally, no one would kill cattle unless the cattle died of old age. But in fact, aged beef is not tasty when it is old, and it can’t be sold at any price. My grandfather once refused to sell it. In the end, the family couldn’t survive him. In addition, they also have feelings for cattle, so they chose to give the beef to them. It was buried under the jujube tree in the backyard of my house, where it was tied up for a lifetime. 】

At the scene, Fang Yang dug up two cultural relics one after another.

And the age is exaggerated one by one.

Director Qin had already called the mayor to report the news.

You must know that they were fully prepared for Fang Yang's visit this time.

Everyone knows what Fang Yang's arrival means.

He is definitely not simply digging a few soil.

For them, it is definitely not as simple as digging up some cultural relics.

Especially for the mayor.

Fang Yang is the GDP of Xinxing.

Everyone knows, as long as Fang Yang stays.

The economic impact on the local area is absolutely unimaginable.

It's just that they also know it in their hearts.

It is certainly impossible to stay for a long time.

To put it an exaggeration, it's like borrowing seeds.

Fang Yang passed by here and left something behind.

This cultural relic, it not only symbolizes the historical and cultural value.

At the same time, it also represents the traces of Fang Yang.

If it is just a cultural relic, it will not attract many people to come and watch it.

But if Fang Yang adds cultural relics, the effect will be indescribable.

So when the mayor learned that two thousand-year-old artifacts had been dug up.

Without hesitation, he arranged for the driver to take him to the construction site.

It just so happened that Fang Yang hadn't continued digging yet.

The mayor hurriedly walked over, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Fang Yang! Welcome, welcome, thank you very much for coming to our place. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. I promise, I will do my best to meet them!"

Fang Yang was a little puzzled by this sudden enthusiasm.

Or look at Director Qin and Captain Jiang.

Director Qin smiled and waved his hands: "This is our mayor, and he specially asked us to wait for you at the intersection today.

"Oh!!" Fang Yang hurriedly responded with a smile: "You're too polite!"

Unexpectedly, the mayor quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's our greatest honor that you can come. It's a pity that I have a lot of business to do in the morning, otherwise I will definitely wait for you at the intersection!"

Not to mention Fang Yang, even the people next to him were a little surprised.

This is the mayor.

He is also the mayor of the top three cities in Jiangning Province.

I thought he paid enough attention to Fang Yang.

I didn't expect to say such a thing.

It can be seen how high Fang Yang's status is in his mind.

The problem is, Fang Yang is not a leader.

But it makes sense when you think about it.

Just like those cultural relics yesterday.

If changed to today.

It is not too much for the mayor to do nothing and wait for Fang Yang early this morning.

After the two exchanged simple greetings.

Fang Yang started working again.

Go back to the excavator and shovel down the perimeter of the pit.

More and more dirt was rolled up and piled aside.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the eyes of everyone's expectations.

The photographer exclaimed: "Brother, there seems to be something in that field!".
