There are no taboos in the pig industry.
Just like the Water Margin, there is a character like Zheng Tu Zheng Da who kills pigs for a living. At the same time, the dialogue of the task in the book has no taboo for pigs:
Lu Da listened: "Bah! I only told you that it was the official Zheng Da, and it was Zheng Tu who killed the pig. "
Zheng Tu has two facades, two meat cabinets and three or five pieces of pork.
Folk taboos mainly come from the official taboos of the imperial court. In all kinds of sacrifices held in the imperial court, pigs appeared. In the "Da Ming Hui Dian", we can see that the official did not cancel the pigs in the big and small sacrifices, but replaced them with other livestock:
Yongle two years: ... Zhong You, according to Jiusi. There are four fruits. Three soups. Double steamed bread. Horse, pig and mutton rice. Wine for five minutes. Press wine with the general. Powder soup. Double steamed bread and pork rice. Four years in Qin Long: the rules of the banquet are accurate. The generals in the temple each have two kilograms of pork. ..... Teachers and musicians, four taels of pork per person.
It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty did not deliberately avoid pigs, and neither the government nor the people avoided them because the emperor surnamed Zhu, which is closely related to the existence of pigs in daily life.
2. However, during the period of Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, there was a civil order prohibiting raising and killing pigs, but it was quickly abolished.
Although there were many outstanding emperors in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was definitely the best one. During his reign, he was cynical and deviant, as if the emperor was a profession that bound him, and finally died at the age of 32.
Zhu Houzhao did many good things during his term of office, and banning pig raising was one of them. On a trip, he found that many farmers raised pigs, which made him very unhappy. On the one hand, his own surname is Zhu, which makes him taboo. Secondly, he was born in 19 1 1 year. He is a pig, so he raises pigs for farmers. I am very dissatisfied with the killing of pigs, and think it violates the dignity of the royal family.
Later, he ordered the people not to raise pigs, otherwise they would be punished as guilty, and it was even more forbidden to kill pigs. For a time, the people were miserable. They raised pigs well, but suddenly they stopped raising them and dared not kill them. In desperation, they had to put the pigs back in the mountains. For a time, farmers abandoned farming all over the mountain. These pigs eat crops and destroy houses, but because of the emperor's taboo, they can't be killed, which brings great trouble to people everywhere.
At the end of this order, in order to avoid using pork, the royal sacrifice had to be replaced by mutton, which became a great spectacle in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
This absurd instruction was not until Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne that the people began to raise pigs, kill pigs and eat pork again.
Conclusion: It has been said in all dynasties to avoid royal surnames, such as not sharing the same surname with the emperor or using the same word. What's more, to write the words with the same name as the emperor, you should use a missing pen or change the shape to avoid taboo. Compared with other dynasties, there were not many regulations and requirements for pigs in the Ming Dynasty, and the people also killed pigs and raised pigs as usual, probably because Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, was born in poverty.
