Why do pigs have five toes on their front legs?

When I saw this question raised by the subject, I couldn't help thinking that a pig we raised at home last year was a five-claw pig. The funniest thing is that this pig was not found to be a five-claw pig until it was killed. What's going on specifically? Please listen to me slowly.

That little pig was given to us by someone else, that is, our family went to buy his pig. After buying it, there was only the smallest and thinnest pig left, and the owner gave it to us because it occupied a circle. We didn't look at it carefully, so we took it home with other pigs. Take it home and give it appetizing medicine, and then drive it away. Anyway, all kinds of tossing (cooking food, feeding glutinous rice porridge, etc.). At the back, the little pig slowly grew up. Until last summer, the pig also grew more than 2 kilograms. It was originally intended to be kept until the end of the year. As a result, it didn't live up to expectations, and its feet were cut off in the pigsty (pigsty made of stone, with gaps), so it couldn't stand up to eat. Other pigs would step on it, so they changed to the pigsty, and they gradually lost weight. It was really not good to look back, so they invited the butcher to come home. When the butcher saw that the pig's feet were cut off, he wanted to lower the price, which was one yuan less than buying other pigs to live in a catty. Later, we thought that we were going to buy meat anyway, so we killed ourselves to eat meat. So I asked the butcher to come home and kill the pig.

The butcher is one of my cousins. He came after 6 o'clock, and several of us pulled the pig out of the pigsty. Press it on the pig-killing pier again, and the uncle's pig-killing technique is good, and he can do it all at once. After the killing, the uncle sat on the stool near the door to catch his breath and smoke. He just lit the cigarette and took a sip. Right there, he said, hey, is this a five-legged pig? My mother said, I'm afraid not. I haven't found it after feeding it for so long. As a result, when we got closer. Oh, my God, it's really a five-legged pig. And there is an extra finger on both front feet. It was the first time I really saw a five-legged pig with many fingers on its feet (because there are several kinds of five-legged pigs. I'll talk about it later. )

that uncle took a deep breath of his cigarette and said, I killed it without knowing it. If I had found out it was a five-legged pig before, I would definitely not have killed it. We quickly made it clear that this was really not found. We also invited other butchers to buy it at home. As a result, we didn't sell it because the price was not agreed. After the foot was broken, we didn't find it when we changed the pig. It was only now that you said it was a five-claw pig that we saw it carefully. My mother-in-law even swore to him that we really didn't know that we had raised it for so long. Everybody, I'm talking sentence by sentence. Later, the uncle said, alas, I didn't find it before anyway, so let's just pretend that there is no such thing. My mother-in-law also said, yes, it's a success. I've kept it for so long, and I'm going to keep it as a pig by the end of the year. As a result, it's still not as fierce as me. Just forget it. Later, I went to the street to buy a red cloth, put it on my uncle's shoulder, as a celebration for him, and then wrapped up a hundred dollars of water.

In fact, as farmers and butchers, it is no stranger to five-claw pigs. Careful distinction between five-claw pigs will be different. Five-claw pigs should be divided into five claws of heaven and five claws of earth. The difference between the five claws of heaven is: the one that grows on the back is a spin, not a long finger, and the spin should be divided into front and back. The one that grows on the back of the front leg is called the five claws of heaven, which is called the fiercest. The part near the hind leg is called inverted rotation. We have a saying here: inverted rotation looks like a bull. It means that this is ok, and pigs will grow bigger in the future. The five claws of the earth are on the feet, and they are on the pig's hooves, so how long a finger is.

The reason why farmers don't want to raise pigs with five claws and butchers don't want to kill pigs with five claws. That is, a pig with five claws is reincarnated by human beings. Killing it will bring bad luck, bad luck, bad things and so on. In fact, in rural areas, five-claw pigs are unlucky, and people often talk about five-claw pigs and their faces change greatly. Will say, oh, that pig can't be fed or raised, and it's bad luck to raise it. If someone accidentally raises a five-claw pig, no matter what bad things happen, they can contact the five-claw pig. If farmers raise pigs with five claws, they will not only worry that it will bring bad luck, but also worry that they will not be sold at that time. Even if a courageous butcher comes to buy them, they will keep the price down.

actually, I think it depends on what I think in my heart about how to treat a five-claw pig. Just like the pig in my house last year, we don't even mention it, don't think about it, and pretend that there is no such thing. Especially those who have their own sows to breed seed pigs, it is really common for claw-free pigs. Some people will throw away the five-claw pigs when they are just born, meaning to throw away the bad luck. However, some people don't believe this, and they also raise pigs with five claws. I have seen a pig farm with a pigsty inside. They are all five-claw pigs and inverted pigs, and they are still very good.

My neighbor's grandfather used to be a pig butcher. When I was a child, almost everyone in the village had to kill pigs and sheep through his hands, and he handled it neatly. As the old saying goes: "If you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter fantastic things.". Grandpa has killed pigs for so many years, from when he was young, he took over the pig killing skills of the old butcher in the village to when he quit the butcher's Jianghu, at least for more than 3 years.

In the Jianghu where he kills pigs, he was also shivering when he first met a "golden pig" with five claws. I'm afraid that the old people in the village said that pigs are cloven-hoofed animals, and a pig's foot has four claws, while a pig with five claws is a bit special. It's unlucky to kill this kind of pig. Moreover, his master once told him some mysterious stories: it is an unwritten rule in the industry that the pig is reincarnated as a golden dragon with five claws, and the pig butcher can't kill it. Therefore, when he first met the pig with five claws, he had no choice but to do so. Because it was a pig raised by his father, he bought piglets very cheaply. He didn't believe in ghosts and heresies, but he wouldn't sell them when he was raised, so he had to kill the cured bacon for Chinese New Year. Uncle is a dutiful son, so he can only break the rules set by the master and kill the golden pig with five claws.

Great, whoever kills the annual pig in Shiliba Township nearby, as long as there is a golden pig with five claws, come and ask him to solve it. Grandpa thought that he had broken the "precept". Killing a pig with five claws is killing, and killing ten heads is also killing. Anyway, in the end, he didn't know exactly how many such pigs he had killed. During the Chinese New Year, he was busy every day ... And he gained a reputation for helping others in Shili Baxiang. In this case, until the villagers stopped raising pigs and didn't allow them to be killed privately, he sealed the knife and withdrew from the rivers and lakes where pigs were killed.

At present, grandpa is 86 years old, and he has lived alone with his grandmother, two sons and one daughter, both of whom have lived alone, and he has complete grandchildren. Although it is an ordinary farmhouse, there is nothing wrong with a family being harmonious and beautiful. Therefore, in this way, the superstitious statement that you can't kill a pig with five claws simply doesn't hold water in my cognition. According to that statement, isn't it a "sin" for anyone to eat the meat of a golden pig with five claws? Who has eaten or not? Nobody knows. Do you think this is the reason? That's just a superstitious statement. Let's have a look and laugh.

hello, this question, my answer, I personally think there must be a reason for not killing the five-claw pig during the Chinese New Year. The five-claw pig really exists, and I have seen it with my own eyes, so I really can't kill it. My uncle is a pig killer to sell. After killing for more than ten years, he really met the five-claw pig. He didn't believe that the five-claw pig could not be killed, and he finally killed it. My uncle also killed it that year. Since ancient times, all walks of life have their own rules and regulations, which may be unclear to people who are not engaged in this industry. Therefore, there is another saying that "interlacing is like a mountain".

I don't know if you've heard the saying, "A carpenter is long and a blacksmith is short, and a stonemason is neither long nor short". Do you know what it means? What does it mean to say that "butchers don't kill pigs with five claws"?

actually, these are some industry rules and regulations, and these are the experiences handed down by the ancients.

My father is a carpenter. As long as I can remember when I was a child, he used his spare time to make furniture for other people's homes. He can make beds, tables, chairs and stools. Influenced by his father since childhood, his father also taught a sentence: "Carpenters don't cut corners." This means that carpenters don't use exactly the same wood, usually a few centimeters more. Because carpenters used to make furniture with wooden wedges and tenons. Wood is also easy to correct when assembling, so in order to avoid the problem of lax assembly, it is an experience to add more material. For artisans and masons, iron blocks can be tempered by heating, and stones need to be sewn tightly, because there is almost no revisability, so "long carpenters and short blacksmiths are masons" means this.

When it comes to "butchers don't kill pigs with five claws", it is a rule in the pig killing industry. Because killing pigs is killing life after all, in ancient times, Buddhism deeply influenced people at that time. "God has the virtue of living well", and everyone is no stranger.

Do you know how many claws a pig has on its feet? Generally speaking, people with five claws on their feet are considered primates, including us humans. There is also the totem of the Chinese nation "Dragon" with five claws. Therefore, if you kill five-clawed animals, then people think it is unlucky and unlucky. It's like someone said before that if you see a two-headed snake or a crowned snake head, you should avoid it quickly. Others said that it would be bad luck to see these things.

So, these statements are superstitious. In fact, from a scientific point of view, animals have one or two extra claws, which should be caused by genetic mutation. Just like when I was in primary school, my classmates had a girl with six fingers. At that time, she was often laughed at, so I felt that she volunteered at that time. In fact, this really should not be.

On the whole, "butchers don't kill pigs with five claws" is a saying handed down by the ancients, because people think it is an unlucky thing. In fact, who can control the genetic mutation? Now, there is no need to listen to this. After all, this is just a superstitious statement in the past. What do you say?

In the past, I still remember that when I was a child, at the end of each year, people in the village were going to slaughter the Year Pig. Some farmers also fattened their pigs for this year, and they will serve mankind by the end of the year. If we want to kill the Year Pig, we can't solve it by ourselves. Just like in the village, almost all of them are butchers, and they also have a way of slaughtering pigs. You have to ask these butchers for help, for example, some give some money, and some give the pig's goods to the butcher, who can also have a good meal. So in rural areas, there is a saying that "butchers don't kill five-legged pigs". What is this sentence?

For this proverb, only the second half of the sentence is said, because there is also the first half of this proverb. The complete proverb is "Carpenters don't make trimmings, butchers don't kill pigs with five claws". So what does this proverb mean? For this carpenter, it means that in rural areas, there are several craftsmen, large and small, in almost all villages. After all, in rural areas, carpenters used to be popular, so who can't take care of meals? Therefore, rural people also respect these craftsmen, but there are rules for everything. If you don't have wood, the carpenter can't do anything. If the wood you gave is not good, let's just say that the right wood is made by the carpenter himself. Otherwise, if you give the right wood, the woodwork made by the carpenter will be greatly discounted, which is very unsightly. Therefore, previous carpenters still pay attention to word of mouth, so you can't ruin your reputation because of your good wood.

So "butchers don't kill pigs with five claws" is well-intentioned? A pig is an animal with cloven hoofs. Everyone who raises pigs knows that a pig's hoof has four fingers, but rarely five fingers. Sometimes a butcher will not kill a pig with five fingers when he sees it, because it is said that the pig with five claws is a sacred object and can't hurt it, so many butchers have passed it down from generation to generation. Tell future generations to show mercy when they meet a pig with five claws, so this is what the butcher means by killing a pig with five claws angrily.

As an old saying goes in the countryside, "Carpenters don't make trimmings, butchers don't kill pigs with five claws". 36 lines have their own rules and taboos. In the former countryside, many people would believe it and strictly abide by the rules of all walks of life.

For example, when it comes to the trades of "carpenter" and "butcher", there is a saying that "carpenters don't do all the cooking, butchers don't kill pigs with five claws". Why do you say that? What does the old rural saying mean? Many people really don't know why they don't ask for advice from the older generation in rural areas. Even if they look at the literal meaning, they only know one thing and don't know the other. Today, the old saying in the countryside comes and says.

carpenters don't do trimming. Carpenter's work seems simple, but in fact it is difficult to learn to be a teacher. As the old saying goes in rural areas, "It takes a thousand days to hammer and a hundred days to learn to saw in the morning", and as the old saying goes in rural areas, "It takes an axe for three years to plane", which shows that it is not easy to learn from carpenters.

1. Carpenters don't do trimmings

In rural areas, carpenters are a very popular job, which I think is better than the current civil servants. But as a carpenter, you have to have skills. If you only know the basic skills, you will be deducted a lot from your salary, and you will waste a lot of natural materials, which is not worthy of the title of carpenter!

Therefore, when sawing wood, it is necessary to analyze and measure the size first, and then according to the data, leave the size to be sawed a little longer, which is the real carpenter and the real artist. The sawed finished product or semi-finished product is also perfect.

It's rare for carpenters to cut materials like saws, because they know that bad sawing or different sizes of materials will bring a lot of trouble to their follow-up work, so according to their past experience, the sawed materials will be longer than the actual size.

I think the implication of this sentence is to tell us not to be too rigid, but to be flexible and leave room!

2. Besides, butchers don't kill pigs with five claws. There is also a legend in rural areas. Common pigs have four claws, but few have five claws. Therefore, many people will think that the five-claw pig is a very strange animal, and killing it is not good for people, only bad. "Butchers don't kill pigs with five claws" is easier to understand. Generally, a normal pig has four legs, and each leg has four claws. The "five-claw pig" refers to a pig with five claws on its pig's foot. The ancients thought such a pig was an ominous thing and should never be killed.
