1, religious belief
As we all know, the Muslims believe in Islam, and the Islamic doctrine says "it is forbidden to eat dead things, bleeding and pork", so the fundamental reason why Hui people don't eat pork is their faith and absolute loyalty to Allah's orders, so religious belief may be one of the reasons why Hui people don't eat pork.
2. Mythology
Legend has it that the ancestors of the Hui people were saved by pigs in a defeat and escape, and they were grateful for saving lives. Therefore, the ancestors of the Hui people stipulated that the Hui people should not eat pork. This is the kindness of dripping water, which reflects the importance of the Hui people from the side. Because this is only a legend, there is no way to prove it.
3. Eating habits
Pigs are ugly and weird, greedy and stupid. The languages of all nationalities in the world use the word "pig" to describe ugly, lazy and stupid people. The Islamic diet is based on the principle of beauty. The so-called "beauty" mainly refers to the "cleanliness and character" of the food. Muslims talk about "hygiene and health", which can be described as "food for nourishment". So Muslims don't eat pork.
