This is the origin of monks cooking pig's head.
The reason for using earthenware basins is that monks must abstain from meat, they cannot use their own pots for cooking, and since pig's heads are large, ordinary containers cannot hold them, so a clean earthenware basin was used.
Earthenware basins were frequently used in temples in the past for washing hands, faces, clothes, and even urinating.
These earthenware basins were separated and not the same one.
However, those who ate the pig's head meat didn't care, they only felt that the pig's head meat cooked by monks in earthenware basins was particularly fragrant and delicious, and that's how the story of the urine basin pig's head spread.
A while ago, Lin Xu was researching online and saw some so-called scholars solemnly analyzing the secret of why pig's head cooked in urine basins by monks was delicious.
They even forcibly explained it as monks not eating meat and the urine basin having no urine smell.
