Why do we eat dog meat during the winter solstice?The Winter Solstice Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and has been passed down to this day."Qing Jia Lu" even says that "Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day." This shows that the ancients attached great importance to the winter solstice. People believe that the winter solstice is the natural transformation of yin and yang, and a blessing bestowed by God. In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was regarded as the "Winter Festival". The government held a celebration ceremony called "Hedong" and a routine holiday. The custom of eating dog meat during the winter solstice is said to have started in the Han Dynasty. According to legend, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, ate dog meat cooked by Fan Kuai on the day of winter solstice and found it tasted particularly delicious and praised it highly. From then on, the custom of eating dog meat during the winter solstice was formed among the people. Nowadays, people eat dog meat, mutton and various nourishing foods on the day of Winter Solstice, in order to have a good omen for the coming year. Extended content---What are the taboos to pay attention to during funerals? 1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days. 2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster. 3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened. 4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window.
