As we all know, the government of the Song Dynasty was a government that especially liked to adopt a rhythm, for example, in order to increase taxes. Encourage? Everyone drinks; For another example, bureaucrats living in the palace really love mutton, so everyone is right? Sheep, sheep and sheep children have developed a fanaticism. Even the salary of officials is linked to mutton, and so is the education of children by the people. Officials can eat mutton. About our protagonist today? Pork?

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, didn't like pork. Influenced by the Tang Dynasty, what does he think pork is? Cheap meat? It is also stipulated that only mutton can be used for cooking in the kitchens of the Song royal family. The emperor said so. The following people must keep a certain pace with the royal family and say to the pork? No? But why on earth don't you eat pork? You still haven't given a reason, but you did it yourself.

Zhao Kuangyin always uses mutton to solve problems when he entertains distinguished guests in the palace, such as Qian Chu, king of wuyue? Spin? Boiled mutton paste with seasoning is the best taste in Song Taizu, so you can't remember what pork is.

Never eaten pork in Song Dynasty? Follow? Tang Dynasty, why didn't Tang Dynasty eat pork? Li Bai believes that the great ethnic integration in the Tang Dynasty also has a certain relationship, especially the Li royal family is a Han Chinese with Xianbei descent, so they have a special liking for mutton. Secondly, the ancestors who paid attention to health care since ancient times thought that pork contained highly toxic substances, which could cause diseases. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, once said, Where you eat pork for a long time, your fertility will decrease and you will get sick. Eating dolphin meat for a long time makes people feel very tired. . This sentence is enough to convince the nobles who pay attention to health and want to live a long life.

Li Bai thinks that Sun Simiao came to such a conclusion because of the restriction of the environment at that time, and pigs are omnivorous animals like grazing sheep, so it is difficult to control the occurrence of swine fever and pig epidemic. If it is not found in time and the sanitary conditions are limited, it is inevitable that someone will get sick because of eating unsanitary pork. In any case, this is enough to convince the nobles who want to eat pork, and in the hierarchical feudal dynasty, if there is mutton to eat, the nobles will never choose pork as risky as the civilians.
