So, the comprehensive title should be "Yulin Litchi Dog Meat Festival" n (* ≧ ≦ *) n.
There is a saying among the people: "Fish breeds in winter and dogs in summer." Because dog meat is warm and easy to get angry, the summer solstice is the day when the sun is the most abundant. Eating litchi and dog meat, two super-hot things, just echoes the sun's spirit. "Controlling Yang with Yang" will not be as enthusiastic as usual, so let go of your stomach and eat a big meal on this day.
However, the pronunciation of "Zhi" is similar to that of "Zhi", which leads to the misunderstanding that "fish breeds dogs in the winter solstice".
Therefore, people eat raw fish on the winter solstice; When the summer solstice comes, they eat dog meat and eat lychees, and even gradually form a custom.
Of course, there are also many "hype" of merchants.
The arrival of the summer solstice means changing seasons, which is a good sign for prosperous business all the year round. Therefore, lychee, which is easy to get angry, is specially bought to eat with dog meat on the occasion of this hot summer. Litchi is hot and humid, and dog meat is on fire. Adding the two together is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. However, in the eyes of businessmen, it means "thriving and flourishing".
For the people, it is also good to have a rare tooth sacrifice and change the taste on this day. Therefore, on this day, everyone would rather risk nosebleeds, but also be desperate to eat their fill. Eventually evolved into the present "exclusive festival".
Every summer solstice, the restaurant stalls are almost full; Litchi stalls on the street are also all over the city. Starting at 6 o'clock in the evening, the whole city is boiling, brightly lit, and the wine and the fists are fragrant. The spectacular scene often lasts all night.
However, with the progress of society and the strengthening of animal protection awareness, this festival has also begun to be criticized.
Objection: How cute the puppy is. It is our good partner. We should love them. Even if we don't love them, please don't hurt them, let alone use them./(ㄒㄒㄒ)/~ ~
Neutrality: eating dog meat is a custom and personal freedom. It doesn't matter. Although I don't want to eat it, I won't object to others eating it.
Support: Dog meat is so nutritious, why can't it be eaten? ! Eating dog meat means opposing this and that. Then why don't you object to eating chicken, duck, fish, sheep and pigs ... They are also animals and have lives. Why should everyone eat them? !
The "hot" food continues, and the "crazy" noise continues. Dear friends, what is your attitude?
