What do they mean by pork?

When we say "pork", we usually mean meat food from pigs. Pork is widely used in China culture, and it is an indispensable part of China food culture. Pork is delicious and can be used to make all kinds of delicious food, such as braised pork, barbecued pork and stewed pig's trotters. At the same time, pork is also the source of animal protein, fat and vitamin B, with high nutritional value. However, pork also has some potential food safety problems, such as being infected by viruses and bacteria. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the quality, hygiene and safety of pork when eating it.

In some areas, people use the word "pork" instead of "money". This is a kind of slang, which some people use in communication. Food is an indispensable part of life, and money is also an indispensable resource in our life. So it is not surprising that the word "pork" is used instead of "money". In some cases, it can increase the vividness of communication, and also reflects people's attention to pork in food culture.

"Pork" can also be a symbol, representing our deep feelings for family, friends and relatives. In China culture, the Year of the Pig is one of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is regarded as a symbol of "bumper harvest, good luck and good food". On some occasions, we will continue this tradition and prepare pork products to entertain guests or express our feelings. Although this symbolic "pork" has nothing to do with real pork, it is still an important element in China culture, representing our cherished feelings and friendship.
