Even the weather is extreme. Yuan Zhen said that the solstice of summer is: "When it rains, electricity flies frequently, and clouds repeatedly bring rainbows." On this June day, the child's face is capricious.
Not only the weather is capricious, but also people are capricious. On this day, the folklore says, "Fish breed in winter and dogs breed in summer." Thus, a traditional folk custom to celebrate the summer solstice came: eating dog meat in the summer solstice.
It is said that dogs are killed in summer solstice, because eating dog meat on this day can make up for it. "long summer, but food supplements" began in the long summer. This tradition originated in the Warring States period.
It is said that in the second year of Qin Degong's accession to the throne during the Warring States Period. In June of this year, the weather was so hot that the epidemic was so prevalent that there was nothing to do. I heard that there was a saying that "dogs are yang animals, but it is ominous", so I ordered my subjects to kill dogs to ward off evil spirits, and later gradually formed the custom of killing dogs from summer to day.
In the former country, every summer solstice, villagers would get together to eat dog meat. In the sun-baked pit in the valley, make a fire and cook dog meat with firewood. There is a saying in Cantonese: "Dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't stand." The smell of boiled dog meat wafted ten miles, which was described by gourmets as a strong flower smell, making people unable to stop and linger.
Therefore, the most famous saying about dogs in rural Guangdong is actually that "dogs have nowhere to hide in the summer solstice".
There are many ways to cook dog meat, such as "braised dog meat", "spiced dog meat", "dog meat pot" and "white cut dog meat", but people are afraid of nosebleeds when feasting, so they often add Pueraria lobata, saying that it can play a neutralizing role.
I'm so scared that I'm at a loss. It's really not as good as the part where Lu was drunk and disturbed Wutai Mountain: "The banker quickly took half a piece of cooked dog meat, pounded some garlic and put it in front of him in the future. Shen Zhi was overjoyed. He pulled dog meat with his hand, dipped in garlic and ate more than a dozen bowls of wine in a row. " Come on.
However, it is not as good as Yulin's dog meat with litchi, which is called willfulness. Every summer solstice, at night, in Yulin, Guangxi, dog meat stalls in urban and rural areas and on the streets are crowded with people. People gathered around the table, eating dog hot pot and tasting fresh litchi.
They soaked litchi in wine and ate dog meat while drinking. The smell of dog meat and the sweetness of litchi are more interesting.
Litchi is hot and humid, and dog meat that is easy to get angry is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. However, Yulin people believe that because summer is the most prosperous day of "yang", eating dog lychee is just "controlling yang with yang" and will not be as enthusiastic as usual. "Dog lychee is a summer solstice dish", so you can let go of your stomach on this day.
Some people think that dog meat with litchi is just a marketing tool for merchants. Businessmen believe that when this hot summer comes, eating litchi, dog meat and old wine together is said to be "prosperous" in the future. Therefore, on this day, everyone would rather take the risk of nosebleeds and be desperate to make a profit.
However, no matter what the reason, in my opinion, I can't escape the word "greed" in the end. However, "dogs are smart and can protect their homes." It's no use eating. Why are they addicted to it? "
Don't eat.
