The 60-year-old butcher in the village said: "If the butcher does not kill three times, he will kill his offspring." This traditional industry adage has always been deeply imprinted in his heart. He told me that the rules from the ancestors were strictly followed by the butchersIndustry ethicsand Conduct Rules. When he was younger, he also felt the importance of this motto firsthand. Although he no longer works as a butcher, he hopes to pass on this Xi to future generations.
The butcher told me that the first point of this adage is that "a pig of unknown origin cannot be killed". In the past, the villagers kept pigs in their homes, so the butcher had to learn about the origin of the pigs before carrying out their tasks. Behind this rule lies the wisdom of the ancients. RuralIt often takes a lot of time and energy to breed, and if the ** of a pig is unknown, the butcher cannot determine whose family it belongs to. If the butcher slaughters someone else's pig without authorization, then when the owner of the pig comes to the door, it will cause disputes and contradictions, and even lead to the problem of compensation. Therefore, the butcher must follow this rule and must be patient with not killing the pig of unknown origin to avoid subsequent trouble.

The butcher then told me that the second point of the adage is that "you can't kill your own pigs." This rule is quite puzzling, and people don't understand the deep meaning. However, as he explained, I gradually understood the truth. It turns out that this rule encompasses the consideration of livelihood, but also reflects self-sacrifice and care for future generations. The butchers help each other to kill pigs in order to balance income and the spirit of mutual assistance, so that everyone can have a meal, rather than eating alone. If the butcher kills his own pigs, it means that he has cut off his own economy, and it is also an irresponsible performance for future generations. This rule draws on the concept of "using seven points for being very smart and leaving three points for children and grandchildren", revealing the worries and concerns for the long-term development of the family.
Expansion: Although this rule may seem limited to the profession of butcher, in essence, it manifests itself on a deeper levelAffection, family, and community. InRuralSocialWe all have a sense of mutual support, mutual assistance and common prosperity. This spirit of mutual support not only balances the workload, but also ensures itSocialof stability and family prosperity. What we should learn from and think about is that no matter what industry and role you are in, you should keep it in mindAffectionand the importance of the family, focusing on the continuation and development of the family.
The butcher told me that the third point of this adage is that "a five-clawed pig cannot be killed". This rule seems superstitious, but it contains people's belief and pursuit of good luck and luck. RuralPigs with five claws on their hooves are called "five-clawed pigs" and are considered to bring bad luck. These pigs are rare and unsettling, and their presence implies some kind of anomaly and mutation. Therefore, in accordance with the folkConventional wisdomButchers can't kill these pigs for bad luck for themselves and their families.

It also reminds us to respect the beliefs and ways of thinking of others, not to ridicule and refute, but to try to understand and tolerate.
In understanding this "butcher."Three do not killAfter that, I deeply felt that there was a deep respect for nature and life. These rules are in place thoughModern societyThey are outdated, but they still reflect the attitudes of the ancients towards life and career. No matter what industry we are engaged in, we should operate and develop with respect, conscience and integrity. Only in this way can you gain the trust and support of consumers and lay a solid foundation for your own business. At the same time, we should also inherit and pass on those valuable traditions and Xi customs, and let them enterModern societyand pass it on.
