First of all, in ancient China, beef was basically forbidden in all dynasties, even in the relatively open Tang Dynasty, not to mention other dynasties. However, although eating beef is forbidden in the imperial court, you can see that there is "cook a sheep, kill a cow, sharpen your appetite, be mine, and have three hundred bowls for one person to drink for a long time!" ! "Such a gorgeous poem in Li Bai's" Into the Wine "! So I don't think eating cattle was a very serious crime in ancient times.

There was a similar thing in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu was a national surname. As a pig with the same pronunciation as "Zhu", it stands to reason that the king should ban people from eating pork! Indeed, a king did just that, and even issued a decree prohibiting people from eating pork. But not long after the law was promulgated, the people forgot all about it and still ate what they should eat. Therefore, in ancient times, when it comes to eating, you stipulated that it was your business, and whether I ate or not was my business. I can't control me when I come to dinner.

Secondly, in Water Margin, Liangshan heroes eat beef to resist their dissatisfaction with the government. At that time, beef was forbidden in the Song Dynasty, but the Liangshan heroes rebelled against the Song Dynasty. Since you forbid me to eat beef, I will eat beef. If you don't like me, come and hit me! I have to say that Liangshan heroes are quite headstrong.

Finally, in the Water Margin, the places where Liangshan heroes eat beef are basically in very remote places. These places are very remote. I eat beef here. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. what can I do? Compared with the meat of pigs and sheep, beef is more delicious, which may be one of the reasons why Liangshan heroes love delicious beef!
