Layer 1: Chintaku Reifu — Exact Canonical Food Taboos

Section titled “Layer 1: Chintaku Reifu — Exact Canonical Food Taboos”

Source file: 23_AGGRESSIVE_ARCHIVE_SWEEP_VIII_v3_1.md

Primary source: Taishang Mifa Zhenzhai Lingfu, final section “Forbidden Foods”
Restriction class: DIETARY / RITUAL COVENANT

The canonical text’s transmitted list includes:

  • wild goose / goose (鴈);
  • eel (鰻);
  • turtle (龜);
  • one fish/reptile graph transmitted corruptly or ambiguously in some electronic editions;
  • black carp (黑鯉);
  • another eel/fish category transmitted with variant/corrupt characters in modern electronic copies;
  • raw scallion/onion (生蔥);
  • chives (韭);
  • garlic (蒜);
  • coriander/cilantro (荽);
  • beef/cattle (牛);
  • dog (犬).

A later Japanese Chintaku Reifu tradition preserves the clearer list:

  • goose;
  • turtle;
  • beef;
  • dog;
  • eel;
  • soft-shelled turtle;
  • black carp;
  • loach.

This makes it likely that at least some of the unclear Chinese electronic characters reflect textual/transcription corruption rather than genuinely different animals.

The canonical Chinese witness and the Japanese later list are now printed side by side in future editions so uncertain zoological identifications remain visible.
