Pig

domestic, artiodactyl animal of the genus true pigs (Sus) of the pig family. Domestic wild boars originated from different subspecies of wild boar—European and Asian—according to which the indigenous local wild boar breeds are divided into two groups: breeds of European origin and breeds of Asian origin. Modern cultural (farm) breeds of S. originate from these two groups. S. were domesticated in the Neolithic era (New Stone Age, 5th–3rd millennium BC). In the process of domestication and long-term breeding work, the appearance, fertility and productivity of S. changed greatly. However, S. cultivated breeds have retained the biological characteristics inherent to the genus Sus: poor eyesight, acute hearing, a keen sense of smell, and the ability to swim well. Fertility and the ability for rapid growth and fat deposition have especially increased in cultivated breeds. S. is the most prolific and early ripening agricultural crop. animal. Most modern S. breeds, with proper feeding and maintenance, produce 10≈12 piglets or more per farrowing. From 9-10 months of age, queens are allowed to mate and at the age of 13-15 months they give birth to their first farrow. The average weight of piglets at birth is 1.2≈1.3 (up to 1.6) kg. For 1 kg of weight gain, S. spend 4≈5 kg of feed converted to grain, i.e. 1.5 times less than a cow, 2 times less than a sheep. The productive qualities, external forms and size of S. of different breeds fluctuate sharply. Depending on the direction of productivity, the types of fattened pigs are distinguished: meat, bacon, and fatty pigs. The breeding of S. for meat is gaining priority throughout the world. S. is bred in all countries. There are over 100 breeds of S. in the world; in the USSR 24 are bred, in the USA ≈ 17, in Great Britain ≈ 13, in Germany ≈ 7, in Hungary ≈ 6, in Austria, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium ≈ 2≈3 each, in Denmark ≈ 1. World population S. in 1972 was 680 million; in the USSR 72.2 million (1975). See Pig farming.

Complete encyclopedia of symbols / comp. V. M. Roshal, A. Portugalov “All the horoscopes of the world”

First version. In the medieval city of Augsburg, back in the 15th century, competitions for the best shooters were held. Now no one remembers what prize the winner received, but the loser received a pig. However, at the time, this lazy animal was worth a lot of money, so it was actually difficult to determine who the real losers were.

Second version. This version directly links this symbol and the card game. In the 16th century in Germany, the highest playing card, the ace, was called "Sau", which translated means "pig". In Germany in the south there is still a real German deck of cards, in which the ace is still called a pig.

Third version. It connects a painting known in narrow circles, which is located in the small Hanoverian town of Münden in the hall of the town hall. In this picture you can find a funny scene of how a pig was saved from death during a flood. The picture means saving your property in case of some natural disaster, that is, it personifies luck.

Whatever version is genuine, the image of a pig has been considered by the Germans for almost 500 years to be a symbol of luck and good fortune. In addition to this funny symbol, other interesting superstitions are common in Germany, for example: a chimney sweep, a horseshoe, a fly agaric, a coin worth one pfennig, a sprig of mistletoe, a hare's foot, a cockchafer, a four-leaf clover. Other peoples, accordingly, have other symbols of good luck, for example, the Tibetans have a flag, a wheel, a lotus flower, a fish, a vase, an endless knot, an umbrella; among the Egyptians - the scarab beetle; Nepalese have pereroni pepper; the Japanese have a figurine of a Buddhist monk and a porcelain cat; among the Indians - the footprint of the goddess Lakshmi; The Arabs have Fatima's dog.

Pig as a symbol of good luck.

In Germany it is generally accepted symbol of good luck and prosperity - pig. Piggy banks for money are made in the shape of pink pigs, and for good luck they give each other marzipan candies in the shape of a pig. The Germans give each other postcards with pigs, produce magnets with them, draw them on T-shirts... And the expression “get a pig, have a pig” is exactly the opposite of the Russian meaning and means luck, luck. There is even an expression “lucky as a pig” and it also has only a positive context. There are at least three theories about the origin of this expression and symbol.

Three versions of the origin of the pig symbol in Germany

The first theory is related to shooting competitions in medieval Augsburg, in the 15th century. The pig was given not to the winner, but to the loser as a consolation prize. However, a pig was then a very expensive gift and in fact the loser ended up winning.

The second theory connects the expressions with gambling at cards. In the 16th century, the highest playing card, the ace, was called “Sau,” meaning pig. In the south of Germany, where the original German deck has been preserved, the ace is still called that way today.

The third theory is associated with a painting in the town hall of the Hanoverian town of Münden. It depicts a scene of a pig being rescued during a flood. The picture is interpreted as saving part of the property in a disaster, that is, as luck.

Be that as it may, exactly pig figurine For at least 5 centuries it has been considered a symbol that Germans take with them “for good luck.” It competes with other German symbols of good luck: the one pfennig coin (but not the cent), the cockchafer, the fly agaric mushroom, the hare's foot, the mistletoe sprig and the chimney sweep. Other peoples, of course, have other symbols of good luck: the Arabs - Fatima the dog, the Indians - the footprint of the goddess Lakshmi, the Japanese - a porcelain cat and a figurine of a Buddhist monk, the Nepalese - pereroni pepper, the Egyptians - a scarab beetle, and the Tibetans - a fish, an umbrella, a flower lotus, endless knot, wheel, vase, flag...

When faced with evil and injustice, they can become angry at the whole world and become distrustful. But over time, thanks to their innate intuition, they begin to understand people well and generously bestow kindness and care only on the most worthy of them.

In general, the character of a person whose horoscope sign is Pig is formed under the influence of his environment.

The abundance of vegetables and herbs, salads, mushrooms, homemade preparations, and baked goods will be appreciated!

It must be remembered that the same shades as in the interior decor should prevail on the table in the Year of the Pig. Yellow bananas and orange tangerines with oranges will be very useful. A bowl of candies in golden candy wrappers would also come in handy. Drinks should also be of the same shade: champagne, white wine, cognac or whiskey.

In a word, there are no restrictions in the choice of holiday dishes, and any housewife is free to decide for herself what to cook for the table in the Year of the Pig.

What to wear on New Year's Eve?

The Earth Pig loves soft, pleasant to the touch fabrics, preferably expensive and natural ones. Ideally, the outfit should be completely new. Among the shades, preference should be given to soft, muted tones: pastel pink, brown, olive, peach. You can also come to the party in red, green and beige. There are many options for how to dress, but in the Year of the Pig it is more important not to forget about jewelry and accessories. It doesn’t matter whether it’s gold or simpler items, for example, made of wood, the main thing is that the jewelry looks stylish and presentable.

To please the Pig, you need to look your best, smile more often and generously give everyone compliments, good wishes and friendly hugs!
