A joke about buying a catty of dog meat.

First, because dog meat was considered unlucky in ancient times, although many people ate it, they could not attend the dinner. Another story is that Cixi saw dog meat while eating. Because she hates dogs, she won't let me eat dog meat, so it has been passed down until now.

Second, there are many people who eat dog meat, but at some formal banquets, dog meat has never appeared. Why can't dog meat be entertained? This should start with Empress Dowager Cixi. According to legend, Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to fill her house and happened to see a plate of dog meat. Empress Dowager Cixi hated dogs so much that she ordered them to be pulled up so that the dog meat handed down from others could not be eaten. be

Third, in fact, as early as ancient times, people also ate dog meat, but dog meat could not be used as a fixed banquet, because the image of dogs was very bad in ancient times. For example, cockroaches steal dogs, and pigs and dogs are inferior to old dogs, and their status is very low. So dog meat is not allowed at the banquet. It is contemptuous and impolite to treat guests with dog meat. People only eat dog meat in private.

Fourth, the ancient emperors especially loved dog meat. He is Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. Before he became emperor, people knew that he liked to eat dog meat, but when he returned to his hometown to be emperor, the villagers also treated him with dog meat. I think dog meat is the next dish. How can I entertain myself? I felt ashamed, so I ordered dog meat not to entertain guests.

From ancient times to the present, we will find that dog meat has never been entertained, and it is not just China. In many western countries, it is even forbidden to eat dog meat. Because dogs in many western families are family members, it is unacceptable and cruel to eat dog meat, so some countries have also promulgated laws prohibiting eating dog meat.
