Why sheep make the best companions for sailors

Because sheep can be pets.

Once upon a time, when the West traded profitably with the world through the sea, the sea became the most important shopping mall and battleground, and thus a large number of sailors were needed. A single sea voyage often required hundreds of sailors at sea for months at a time.

In addition to material supplies, the mental health of the crew became a growing problem during these long voyages. Pets often serve to dissipate boredom and relax the mind, and are a great help to the crew's mental health.

The most popular pet on the voyage was the sheep. The reason for this is simple: firstly, sheep are very easy to feed, requiring only a diet of hay. Secondly, sheep can supplement the voyage with nutrients, including milk production and mutton. And they were also more stable, less likely to hurt or mess up, so every sailor was using sheep as pets, but of course, they were usually provided by the captain of the ship.

Cultural Traditions:

Sheep is the animal food most closely related to the life of the ancient ancestors, and has a deep historical connection with the development of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, influencing the emergence and development of the culture of our country in terms of writing, diet, morality, etiquette, aesthetics and so on.

Chinese characters are one of the oldest and most widely used scripts in the world. The origin and development of Chinese characters are closely related to the civilization of the Han people, and they are the basic carrier of traditional Chinese culture. Chinese characters contain a wealth of information, and they are the most powerful "primitive record" for recording, reflecting and revealing the process of the development of the ancient culture of the Chinese nation.

Chinese characters in the early days of our country are like fossils of ancient culture, recording the concepts of ancient culture and ancient people. Chinese characters are like a specimen of the ancient culture of China, and goat culture is a traditional culture with Chinese characteristics.
