In ancient times, crayfish was a creature living in a freshwater environment, and because people's lifestyles and dietary Xi at that time were different from modern times, crayfish did not become a common food for the ancients**. So, why didn't the ancients eat crayfish?
First of all, we can learn from historical records that the lifestyle and dietary habits of ancient people are very different from those Xi modern times. In ancient times, people's main life** was hunting and gathering, and crayfish were not common prey or gathering objects. In addition, ancient people had relatively little knowledge and use of aquatic organisms, so crayfish did not become one of their food**.
Secondly, the breeding and growing environment of crayfish is also different from the living environment of ancient people. Crayfish need clean waters and a suitable ecological environment to reproduce and grow, which was uncommon in ancient times due to human activities and pollution. Therefore, the number of crayfish is relatively small, and it is difficult to become one of the foods of people**.
We can also think about it from a cultural perspective. In traditional Chinese culture, aquatic organisms are considered to have moist and cold properties, so they are not suitable as staple foods or commonly eaten foods. As an aquatic creature, crayfish is naturally not valued by traditional food culture.
To sum up, the reason why the ancients did not eat crayfish was mainly because people's lifestyle and dietary Xi habits at that time were different from those of modern times, the awareness and utilization of aquatic organisms were less, and the traditional culture did not pay attention to aquatic organisms. Of course, with the development of modern society and the continuous improvement of people's awareness of crayfish, it has become one of the favorite delicacies of modern people.
