Cattle are a symbol of diligence in Chinese culture. In ancient times, there were applications of using cows to pull plows for land preparation. Later, people learned that cows have tremendous strength and began to have various applications, ranging from agriculture, transportation, and even military use. During the Warring States period, the state of Qi also used the Fire Bull Formation to defeat the state of Yan, and during the Three Kingdoms period, cattle were also used for transporting goods on the plank roads during the Shu invasion of Wei. Due to the importance of cattle in agriculture, some farmers in Chinese areas did not eat beef in the past. Even in the Song Dynasty, it was illegal to slaughter oxen without authorization. The "History of Song" recorded that the magistrate of Tianchang County, Bao Zheng, tried a person who stole and cut off the tongue of a cow and then sued them for slaughtering oxen without authorization.
