First, the origin of eating mutton in squatting pits, like some customs handed down today, has been handed down from ancient times after hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance and is the culture of our ancestors. For example, the dog days are the hottest time for people to study all year round. At that time, eating mutton was very useful for sweating and detoxification. It was because Zhu Rong, the Vulcan God at that time, and Emperor Yan were the gods worshipped in people's hearts. Coupled with the later cooking of mutton, the custom of fighting wine has been handed down. Especially after the dog days, the wheat in the field is ripe and becomes fresh wine. At that time, the sheep have grown up and are very fat, and the mutton restaurant will launch a very special all-sheep banquet.
Second, the benefits of eating mutton First of all, as far as Chinese medicine is concerned, it also has a certain health care effect. In particular, the ancients believed that eating mutton can clear away heat and expel the accumulated heat in the body, which is definitely good for the body. It's the saying that winter disease is cured in summer. After all, sheep have become tender, smooth and plump after two seasons of nourishment, so the nutritional value of mutton in June is particularly high. Moreover, eating mutton in dog days can also relieve summer heat and damp, and it also plays a major role in protecting the stomach for people who continue to eat cold drinks in June and make their stomachs cold.
Third, squatting to eat mutton is good for your health. However, squatting to eat mutton is not good for everyone. For example, some people are hot and easy to get angry, and people with sores and swollen poison are not suitable for this treatment. And when eating, we must control the quantity, and pay attention to the diet, but also pay attention to the use of methods, otherwise it will not be worth the candle.
