The Qing Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established by nomadic people. It stands to reason that nomadic people like beef and mutton, but the actual situation is slightly different. According to records, Manchu people prefer mutton, among which Huang Taiji likes it best. After the Manchu entered the customs to unify the Central Plains, there was no beef in the royal menu. The emperor not only refused to eat beef himself, but also forbade other people in the palace to eat beef. Because Manchu people think that if the cow cultivates land for people, it is unkind for people to eat its meat. This habit of the royal family has also affected the people. Residents in Beijing seldom eat beef. Until the demise of the Qing Dynasty, beef dishes gradually increased in Beijing and even in the north.
