Dog meat: The Han people traditionally don't eat dog meat, which stems from the special status and respect for dogs in China's ancient cultural traditions and moral concepts. Dogs are regarded as loyal partners and guardians of human beings and have established close emotional ties with human beings, so not eating dog meat is regarded as respecting and protecting the life of dogs.
Horse meat: Horse meat is not common in the traditional diet of Han nationality. Although some people eat horse meat in some areas and certain environments, horse meat is not common in the traditional diet of the whole Han nationality.
Cat meat: Cat meat is regarded as the object of fasting. Few people eat cat meat in the traditional diet of Han nationality, which is related to the status of cats in ancient China culture. Cats are considered to be smart, witty and lovely animals.
Brief introduction of Han nationality
Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan language family, and there are seven dialects. Modern Chinese is based on northern dialects, and Beijing dialect is the standard pronunciation. Chinese characters are one of the oldest characters in the world, with a history of about 6000 years. They gradually evolved from Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen to today's square characters, totaling more than 40,000 words, with about 7,000 commonly used words. Now they are one of the international languages.
As for faith, it can be said that the attitude of the Han nationality in faith is polytheistic, tolerant, pragmatic and inclusive. A Han nationality may believe in a little Buddhism and Taoism, while still maintaining the Confucian style. If Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are only the beliefs of some Han people, then the Han people also have a national religious belief, which can be simply summarized as patriarchal religion and a religious complex of all ethnic groups.
