2. Reasons for historical inheritance: It is said that dogs were originally used in major occasions such as sacrifice and worship, and the ancients regarded dogs as first-class offerings for sacrifice. Therefore, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, dog meat was the special food of the Zhou Emperor, and ordinary people could not eat it. Since then, no one has sold dog meat in the market. After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, nomadic people regarded dogs as hunting tools and guardians of grazing, and did not eat dog meat.
3. Reasons for worshipping Buddhism: It is recorded in Buddhist classics that dogs are regarded as unclean things, so they have been passed down to this day, resulting in no one selling dog meat in the market.
4. Local folk reasons: In some parts of China, eating dog meat is generally regarded as a barbaric act lacking civilization.
