1 religious belief
As we all know, Muslims believe in Islam, and Islamic teachings say that "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. Myth
Legend has it that the ancestors of the Hui nationality were saved by pigs in a defeat and escape, and they were grateful for saving people. Therefore, the ancestors of the Hui people stipulated that the Hui people could not eat pork. This is the grace of dripping water, which reflects the importance of Hui people from the side. Because this is just a legend, there is no way to verify it.
3. Eating habits
Pigs are ugly and weird, greedy and stupid. The language of all nationalities in the world uses the word "pig" to describe ugly, lazy and stupid people. Islamic diet is based on beauty. The so-called "beauty" mainly refers to the "cleanliness and character" of food. Muslims talk about "hygiene and health", which can be described as "food nourishment". So Muslims don't eat pork.
