In general, pigs are known as animals that symbolize abundance and wealth, and it seems natural to be supported by sacrifices to propose luck or abundance. However, there are no animals that cause sharp contrasts with taboo and taboo conflicts compared to other prostituted animals. The main reason for the contraindication of pork is the perception that 'pork is not right'. The perception that pork is unclear can be summarized in three main directions. First, as anthropologist Marvin Harris has argued, there is a fusion of economic judgment and political and religious views of the ruling class, in which sweating in sweating desert regions is too costly and inefficient. The second is that the pigs would have added to their social prejudice that 'pigs are polluted animals', as the ecological and environmental understanding of feces being buried in the skin to survive in a dry environment. And the third way is that pork is a metaphor for cannibals, not perceptions of everyday situations or the general public. In general, the problem of food-related conflicts related to pigs and pork is a limitation that is required for shamans and their neighbors in connection with proposals and offers. As agriculture began, humans offered sacrifices to promote gratitude and productivity in the land. A typical human trait was Dema Dema-god of Papua New Guinea, a girl whose stage of productivity was just around the corner. In this way, the beginning of agriculture first required human sacrifices such as human hunting and hair hunting, but gradually human beings were required to be satisfied with morals, religion, etc. In the Middle East, where livestock farming was performed, lucky lambs, grapes in the Mediterranean region where the grapes were cultivated, and goats in Korea, and pigs in Korea and East Asia were replaced. Therefore, the problem of disposing of pigs and pork substituting for human sacrifices to God is a subtle and difficult situation, and it is not a ritual that anyone can do without restriction at any time. In addition, the question raised is why it is a pig, and how it has been accepted as a representative animal for us since when.
The first pig breeding began in the hilly areas near the Zagreb Mountains, north of the Middle East, and was a forested area. However, as the desertification progressed, it became difficult to cultivate pigs as well as to cultivate the crops, so that they came down to the south to create the so - called Mesopotamian civilizations. The estimated Sumerians believed the influence of the god of the moon throughout the culture, and sacrificed bulls with crescent horns to the altar. Their preference for bull horns was passed on to India, China, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. During the Bronze Age, they changed into pigs with crescent-like molars. The pig ceremony in Korea seems to have been affected. So the pig head, not pork, had to come to the priest.
However, the myths and rituals of Jeju Island show the phase of conflict between meat and gourmet including pork. The researches have been confronted with past hunting culture and advanced gourmet culture, . However, Jejudo's representative legend, "Kegetoito", is a typical Bronze Age hero myth, in which the son's new googneretto crosses his parents and establishes a patriarchal world. Therefore, the gourmet is a token of the goddess of agriculture that is weakened by the subordinate gods of the Bronze Age who reorganized the world, such as Demeter and Persephone of Greece, Isanas of Mesopotamia, Isis of Egypt, and Germanic disappearance.
Therefore, the food conflict in Jeju Island should be understood as a myth of the period when the authority of the goddess weakened rather than taboo for pork. In addition, the goddesses of other localities are required to have pork taboos because the goddess Baekju, the goddess of Songdang, is the origin of the other localities. I think this is due to the environment of Jeju Island, which has a strong tradition of motherhood.
