Never tire of eating, never tire of eating

In the spring and Autumn period, Confucius, the most sage and forefather of Dacheng, was very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. His principle was that he would not be tired of eating and drinking. The more refined the grain, the better. The finer the meat, the better. The amount of meat on the table should not exceed the amount of rice and noodles. You can drink wine at will but not get drunk.

"Cutting" refers to the decomposition of limbs when slaughtering pigs, cattle and sheep. The ancients have a certain method of decomposition, not according to that method of decomposition, it is called "cut not right.". The food used in the fasting ceremony should not be the same as that in the ordinary diet. The materials and processing should be especially clean. Those who take part in the fasting ceremony should leave their homes and stay in the fasting room. The rice for present sacrifice should be cooked with complete rice as far as possible, and the gouge should be cut as fine as possible. If the rice is hot and wet, or even has bad smell, the fish is old and the meat is rotten, you can't eat it; if the color is different, you can't eat it; if the smell is abnormal, you can't eat it; if the food is cooked raw or over cooked, you shouldn't eat it; if the meal is not in normal time, you can't eat it; if the meat of sheep and pigs is cut badly It should not be eaten if it does not conform to the sacrificial rites or the distribution does not conform to the status of nobility and inferiority; it should not be eaten if there is no proper sauce; although there is a lot of meat, it should not be eaten too much, but it should still be given priority to with meals; wine can not be divided into a limit, but it should also grasp the principle of not disrespectful degree; only brewing wine for one night, the wine and dry meat sold on the market can not be eaten (considering that it is not mellow and pure); although ginger is a vegetarian food Don't eat too much of what can be eaten, which is spicy but not meat. Don't pay attention to the meat you get from the sacrificial service. The sacrificial service should not last more than three days. After three days, you can't eat any more. Confucius' eight character proposition is based on the general principles of sacrifice at that time, so it can only be understood in his opinions on the requirements of sacrificial food and the rules of sacrificial diet. Confucius advocated that the sacrificial food should be "clean" and "beautiful" (depending on the conditions of the sacrificial person). The heart of sacrifice should be "sincere". Only when there is cleanness and sincerity, can the word "Jing" be used in sacrificial righteousness. The two words "Jing" and "Xi" can be correctly understood only when they are put into the productivity level and living conditions of Confucius' era. The essence advocated by Confucius is that ordinary people often eat coarse millet, and the rice that is better than rice should be chosen for sacrifice. In order to remove the fishy smell of raw meat as much as possible, it must be thin and thin to make it taste more delicious and easy to chew and digest. Confucius's exposition reflects his complete thought of abiding by the food rules of sacrificial rites to show respect, prudence and hygiene, as well as his civilized and scientific eating principle.

The origin of Idioms

Zhai will become food, and Ju will move. We are not tired of eating, we are not tired of eating. The Analects of Confucius: when fasting, we must change our usual diet and move our place. Not because of the delicacy of the food and special satiety. Qian Mu's new interpretation of the Analects of Confucius

Examples of Idioms

1. Confucius was an official for only three years in his life, and received some courtesy in his later years. Generally speaking, his life was still a "cloth clothes", a person who was not "cheap" but "poor". Therefore, Confucius's political status and diet life should be "Chinese", and his diet for most of the time can only satisfy himself. Although Confucius lived in an era that played an important role in the development of Chinese food culture, it can be called the foundation period of food culture, but in terms of its cooking tools, methods, food structure, eating habits and styles, it is still low-grade and crude. It's not difficult to see the true meaning of "food is not tired of essence, and food is not tired of delicacy", which mainly refers to that when making sacrificial food, we should choose good raw materials and process them as fine as possible, so as to achieve the intention of "benevolence" and "courtesy". It can be seen that Confucius' diet thought is related to sacrifice, which is based on the worship of Confucianism and Taoism of "courtesy" and "benevolence". Zhai will change to food, and Ju will move to sit. We are not tired of eating, we are not tired of eating. The Analects of Confucius: the local Party
