Why does an ordinary-looking dog have such high prestige in the eyes of Ruyuan Shanyao, and in the long history, there are various legends such as "don't eat dog meat" and "don't sell pigs"?

Legend has it that in remote ancient times, Wang Ping and Gao Wang fought for several years, regardless of the outcome. Because Gao Wang lives in a delta surrounded by water on three sides, the land is fertile and the food is abundant. In the subsequent war, Gao Wang gradually gained the advantage, and several generals who were rated as kings were killed by Gao Wang. For a time, Wang Ping was beset with domestic crises, and Gao Wang even made several attacks, but no general dared to lead troops to fight. In desperation, the judge posted a list of items and promised in front of the civil and military officials: "If anyone dares to lead troops to fight and cut off Gao Wang's head, this king will marry Yincui gorge to him." Repeated conscription, but none of the war generals applied. Just when Wang Ping felt that his luck was exhausted, the end came, and he usually followed around. Tiger Pan (Zan), a tall and mighty right guard dog of the imperial palace, came with the imperial list in his mouth. After putting down the imperial order, he growled and the palace was in uproar, but Wang Ping didn't know why. After several barks, the dog ran out and bit Princess Wang Ping's skirt. After listening to the newspaper, Wang Ping suddenly woke up and asked himself: Tiger Pan, can you really beat Gao Wang? Tiger Pan called a few times. Wang Ping didn't believe that Tiger Pan, the dragon dog, could fight, but Tiger Pan was several feet long and tall, and there was no one at the moment, so he had to give it a try. So he ordered the flag to be thrown into the ground, ordered Tiger Pan to eat all kinds of delicious food, and led the civil and military officials to send Pan Hu out of the palace. As soon as he got out of the palace, Tiger Pan flew away and soon disappeared into the vast sea. After swimming for seven days and nights, she set foot on the border of Gao Wang in the early morning of the seventh day and went straight to the wall of Gao Wang. After a while, I met Gao Wang and patrolled the city wall with his hand. It is said that Gao Wang has been at war with Wang Ping for several years, and he has long been familiar with Tiger Pan, the dragon dog who followed Wang Ping. At this time, when he saw Tiger Pan coming straight, he couldn't help laughing and said, All the great countries have this dragon dog, but they can't keep it. If you come to China now, you will definitely lose your country. He also said that there is an old saying: pigs come poor, dogs come rich, and foreign things will flourish when they enter the DPRK. Winning (me) is a sign of the prosperity of our country. So he ordered to open the city gate to lead Tiger Pan into the palace, and gave him delicious food, which was as precious as a treasure. Whenever he sits in the court, the ladies-in-waiting will receive special care. A few days later, Dragon Dog became acquainted with Gao Wang, who often took Tiger Pan to Baihua Palace. One day, Gao Wang was drunk, and Tiger Pan missed the princess very much. He decided to kill Gao Wang to repay his kindness. So he bit the king with a Kouga and cut off his head. He returned to DaHai You, flew back to Korea and lay down in front of the palace. Wang was overjoyed at the news and held a state banquet for three days and nights to celebrate the killing of Gao Wang and national security. At the same time, Tiger Pan got a huge reward, but Tiger Pan refused, and repeatedly criticized the dress of Princess Wangsan in public. Commenting on Wang's displeasure, he loudly reprimanded Tiger Pan, and his face was full of be reluctant. At this point, Yincui gorge looked in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. I think, anyway, Tiger Pan is a dog, and marrying him is just a show. What's the difficulty? However, my father broke his word in front of the civil and military officials and violated his promise to the people. This is a great event. So he immediately quietly advised his father, saying, "Since my father's words have been made, we can't accept them. If you eat them from people, you lose the greatest thing in the world. " And Tiger Pan is just a dragon dog, so what's wrong? "The king is even more embarrassed to see his daughter so reasonable. But in order not to break his promise to the world, Wang Ping had to publicly promise to marry Yincui gorge to Tiger Pan according to the meaning of the official document. From then on, Pan Hu and Yincui gorge were inseparable. Just when Wang Ping racked his brains to save face, the miracle appeared again. Originally, Tiger Pan was a hard-working dragon dog during the day, but after midnight, she became a handsome man, and even Yincui gorge herself was shocked. The princess was surprised and quickly told her father and mother quietly. At first, no one believed it. After several temptations, Wang Ping understood why Tiger Pan was able to hunt Gao Wang's head and was overjoyed. Pan Hu, the incarnation of God, never neglected, and soon held a grand and special wedding for his daughter. After the wedding, in order to protect the dignity of the emperor, Wang ... was rewarded with gold and silver, with thousands of soldiers, slaves and craftsmen, and instructed Tiger Pan to take the princess shield into the deep mountains and build mountains to live in. A few years later, six men and six women were born, and Tiger Pan gradually became a macho man just like ordinary people. Wang Ping was overjoyed. He specially named six men and six women as descendants of Yao Yao and gave them a surname 12. Except for the eldest son whose surname is Pan, the others are Huang, Bao, Li, Shen, Deng, Zhou, Zhao, Hu, Feng, Lei and Tang. And issued an imperial edict to Tianxia 13 Province1State, to the effect that: "The descendants of Pan Hu, because of their ancestors' contribution to the country, never make mistakes in the land of three shovels, and let the descendants of Yao Yao farm the mountains and forests, travel through the mountains and seas forever, divert water into the fields, never pay taxes, and never avoid the battle of Dingfu. The origin of farming and burying the dead generation, living and living (living), ordinary people have nothing to do with their careers, and the government can't force them. "This is the gist and legend of the amulet handed down from generation to generation by the Yao people-commenting on the death of the king. Since then, successive dynasties have issued corresponding lists every year according to previous emperors. Although the form is ever-changing and the list size is different, the content is similar. At present, different versions of "coupon death" and "bangwen" preserved by Yao people all over the country are important products of different dynasties and historical stages. They all prove the historical contribution made by Yao ancestors to the country, and also record the origin, production and life of Yao from different levels. It is said that since Wang Ping issued the proclamation, Yao Yao's descendants have been able to live peacefully and prosper from generation to generation with "Wang Ping's ticket to death". It was not until the Jin and Yuan Dynasties that this goodwill was completely destroyed. Especially in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the ruling class no longer regarded Yao as a meritorious nation, but adopted a large number of ethnic discrimination policies, and a large number of discriminatory titles also appeared in the official documents of the Yuan Dynasty. Discrimination and hostility towards Yao, Miao and other ethnic minorities reached the peak of history in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. There are two different opinions about the death of Pan Hu, the ancestor of Yao nationality. First, the ancestor Tiger Pan was seriously injured in a fire to save the lives and property of future generations. Although carefully rescued, only most of the human body was restored. However, due to severe burns, his head never recovered to the shape of a human head, and soon, Tiger Pan died. After Tiger Pan's death, his descendants set up an ancestral hall (temple) to commemorate his great achievements, and put it in a statue of King Pan Hu to mourn forever, and prohibited all bad behaviors such as insulting domestic dogs. This is the reason why historical legends such as the worship of the King of Dog Head (King Pan Hu) and the prohibition of eating dog meat have come into being.

Secondly, another story about Pan Hu's death is that Tiger Pan was hunting in the mountains and met a tall wild goat. In the struggle, he was stabbed by a goat's horn, and both of them fell off the cliff and died. After Tiger Pan's death, Tiger Pan's descendants launched several large-scale sheep hunting activities in succession in order to avenge him, and put the hunted goats as sacrifices at Tiger Pan's grave. Later, every time they went to Pan Hu, they cut off the head of the hunted goat, strung it on the gallows, and shot it on the goat's head with bows and arrows to show revenge. This is the historical reason why there are always a pair of long and curved models shaped like bulls' heads and horns in some historical relics, materials and pictures of Yao nationality so far. In fact, Yangjiao is a sacrifice of Yao ancestors to Pan Hu, not a totem or an idol worshipped by people. As for the death of Pan Hu, there is no textual research on the right and wrong of the two versions, but it is a fact that Yao ancestors worshipped Pan Hu for generations.

It is said that after Tiger Pan's death, filial piety never stopped, and he still wore a flowered skirt and a handkerchief. "He embroidered a spotted dress to cover his body, and then he was buried in a wooden letter." He also commented on Wang Zhun's begging for mercy: "Give Tiger Pan, the dragon dog, as his ancestor and six men and six women as his descendants. He also promised men and women to worship Yinde, which was widely worshipped by later generations. Celebrate once every three years and once every 50 years. It's fun. Selling pigs is not allowed. Whenever the wedding day is festive, it is necessary to move the long drum, sing songs and drum music to make people happy with ghosts and wealth. If you are disrespectful, you will prove yourself guilty. " This is Wang's admonition to Yao people. In the past, we should worship the king, our ancestors and not sell pigs. This is why Yao people used to ban eating dog meat and selling pork.
