Chinese idiom storyThe disciples of Confucius, Zeng and Zeng Sen, were father and son, and after Zeng's death, Zeng Sen did not eat the dates of the goat in memory of his father, Zeng. When Gongsun Chou, a disciple of Mencius, heard about this, he asked Mencius which is better, chopped meat or sheep. Mencius said of course it was chopped meat. Gongsun Chou asked why Zeng Zeng ate chopped meat instead of goat dates, and Mencius told him it was the result of a choice made to avoid a taboo.
