The relationship between chopsticks and bowls is quite subtle. If you are a guest and want to eat after eating, you are embarrassed to say so. Put the chopsticks on the empty bowl after eating, and the host will know that you want another bowl. This practice is similar to that in Guangdong province, which requires waiters or butlers to cover the teapot when adding water. Only half of the teapot is covered, and the other half rests on the handle of the teapot.
Many people invite you to dinner and want you to eat more. As long as you don't say anything, they will always give you more food and vegetables. If you are full, you don't want others to add more food. In some places, the practice is to directly stack the bowl that another family doesn't eat next to you, and in other places, put the bones and vegetables left on the table into the bowl with chopsticks, so that the main family will understand that you don't want to eat any more.
Chopsticks are crossed on the bowl. Do you know what kind of custom this is? This is also related to death. This practice is often used in some sacrificial occasions. In ancient times, blood sacrifices were often used in sacrifices. That is, animals are brought to the sacrifice site for slaughter, which is generally used to sacrifice heaven and earth, ancestors and gods (a custom influenced by Taoism). After killing animals, they will bleed, some directly sprinkle blood on the spot, and some use bowls to receive blood. If the blood is not directly sprinkled on the sacrificial site, it will be taken back and cooked for everyone. Therefore, chopsticks should not be crossed on the bowl at ordinary times.
Some children tap bowls and pots with chopsticks, and adults will scold him because it is "a beggar's practice". In the past, beggars tapped bowls and basins with chopsticks to remind others to give him something to eat.
The interpretation of Chen Peng's dream saw a high-income family and a good family. When people sit at the table and divide chopsticks, they will grab one pair. For example, when there are only eight people, he will grab more than eight pairs of chopsticks to divide them. What is the argument here? There is a feeling of hospitality here. "A few more guests, and we can entertain them." This kind of hospitality is also a rule to express wealth and hope that it will get better and better. Of course, when handing out chopsticks to others, the order of each pair should be the same, and the length of each pair of chopsticks should be the same as far as possible (many places in rural areas make their own chopsticks, or different batches of chopsticks have different lengths, so frugal homes will not throw them away easily).
If the chopsticks spoon falls on the ground, the host will say, "Wow, you still have someone to invite you to dinner." The parties can also say, "It seems that someone will invite me to dinner in the future ...", which subtly resolves the embarrassment caused by the chopsticks falling on the ground. This kind of rhetoric generally exists in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan. Deliberately throwing chopsticks means that you don't want to spend it together! After quarreling, take out a pair of chopsticks and break them face to face, which means breaking the meaning! I hate it.
In many areas, there is also the custom of giving chopsticks, such as giving ten pairs of red chopsticks when getting married (of course, not only ten pairs of chopsticks, but also ten pairs of chopsticks). The two chopsticks are put together heavily, which means praying for a quick birth, happiness and a long life together. In some areas, it is also used for birthday celebration. Longevity chopsticks are usually given to guests by the host family together with longevity bowls. Suitable for people over 80 years old to celebrate their birthdays. In ancient times, wealthy families also gave each other gold chopsticks, silver chopsticks and ivory chopsticks, but when there was a conflict, silver chopsticks should not be given, because at this time silver chopsticks became synonymous with drug testing, which was very annoying.
Chopsticks are old and moldy. I don't like them. I don't want them. I want to throw them away. what can I do? Will it violate any taboos? In the past, every household used firewood stoves, but in folk customs, the bowls and chopsticks we use every day in our daily life are particularly respected. Chen Peng looked up dreams in many ways and learned that the requirements of various places for unwanted chopsticks are like this. First, burn them! Second, after all the chopsticks are broken, they can be thrown into the trash can. Third, bury it. I just can't just throw it away.
Custom requires respect. Respect will not burden your family too much, but it can show others that you respect China tradition (maybe it is someone else's habit), showing more than just knowing manners.
Because the chopsticks in the rice are for the dead.
You are sure to be defeated. This custom of putting chopsticks in your rice bowl has been passed down from China for thousands of years. When someone dies at home, a meal is put on the table in front of the coffin, and chopsticks are inserted in the meal to show that the deceased is invited to eat and travel well. If you stand your chopsticks upright, you are cursing the dead in your family. There are only a few people in your family. Who do you want to die? So your father slapped you in a simple and rude way.
First of all, this kind of education is problematic. You shouldn't just be beaten, you should also be hanged. It's cruel and easy to cause fractures. You have to go to German orthopedics. I should have a good talk with you, and then it's not too late to hit you again if you do it on purpose next time.
You might say this is a feudal superstition: I put chopsticks vertically for convenience. It's 2 1 century. Why can't I do this?
Dare to do it at home if you want to. Do you dare to wear red flowers and colorful clothes, smile and applaud at other people's funerals? I dare not. This is also called tradition, and there is a basic morality, which is to respect other people's customs and understand other people's taboos. Think again, your family is not dead, and someone gave you a black-and-white photo of your parents (framed). what do you think? Then put the enlarged photo in front of your school, with yellow flowers and white flowers in front, and put chopsticks in the rice bowl in front of the photo. What does this mean? Do you want to hit him?
The reason is similar.
These people may be intentional, but you are not. So I said your father should tell you why it can't be like this first, and then we can talk. If you do this on purpose after you say it, you will be really anxious. Don't stick chopsticks like that at your father-in-law's house, it's a curse to your father-in-law to die. Your father may know that you are an idiot, and you don't mind. If your father-in-law knows that you are an idiot, the marriage will be ruined. Everyone else knows this, but you don't, and then people say you have no culture. Not convinced, he lifted the table and fell out with his father-in-law.
Your father really hung you up when I got home.
When we were children, we were all beaten or punished, and we were not allowed to knock on the bowl when eating, because there is a custom in some places that people should leave it for three to five days after death. In these days, every time we eat, we put some rice in front of the dead's spirit and then put chopsticks on it. Understand? That's unfortunate.
I didn't eat well as a child. Even eating and playing. Occasionally, chopsticks are inserted into rice (rice). My mother saw it and came over angrily and took the chopsticks away. I don't want to eat, put the rice aside. I feel very wronged.
I didn't know why my mother was so angry until I grew up.
Putting chopsticks in a rice bowl is like burning incense in a temple and putting incense in a censer. This is known to everyone who has burned incense.
There is also a custom in our country. The eldest son in mourning carries a mourning basin with rice and several pairs of red chopsticks in it. From the day the old man died, the burial basin was placed in the mourning hall. When he came out of the coffin, his eldest son held it in his arms and went to the outdoor funeral home to pay homage. It was broken at the funeral when the coffin was carried, indicating that the old man had ascended to heaven.
I am an only child, my mother's little pimple. I hope I live a long life and don't want to see these shady things, so my mother is particularly taboo and doesn't want my unlucky behavior.
I remember when I was a child, I was not sensible. When eating, I put chopsticks directly into the bowl and was scolded by my parents. I believe that most people have probably had such an experience. Why do you ask so much for food? Why can't chopsticks be inserted casually? Can't you just stick it in the bowl?
When paying homage to the dead, there should be plenty of rice and melons, among which chopsticks should be inserted in bowls or plates filled with rice. When you eat at home, you put chopsticks in a bowl, and no one dies at home. This is obviously a curse on your family.
Adults are very sensitive and taboo about death. When they see you do this, they will still feel uncomfortable even if they know that you are ignorant and unintentional.
Good-natured parents will say something about you and explain why you can't put chopsticks in the bowl. If your parents have a bad temper, I'm afraid they will scold you and hit you a few times. I also think that if children behave like this, parents should explain patiently and should not beat and scold.
Some people may think that chopsticks can't be inserted in a bowl is a feudal superstition, so they do the opposite and insist on inserting chopsticks in a bowl. We should respect this taboo that has been observed since ancient times. After all, it is the wisdom of the ancients, and it is also equivalent to a belief. As the saying goes, it is better to believe what it has than not to believe what it has.
Do you feel better if someone comes to a wedding in black or a funeral in red and scolds you on New Year's Day? What do you think of their behavior?
It is precisely because everyone abides by the long-standing social taboos that a peaceful scene of our social life is created. These taboo customs have virtually become the norms that bind our lives. We should not break them, but respect them.
Putting chopsticks in a bowl is a great disrespect for yourself and others. People will only say that you are uneducated, which is also the embodiment of education. We can't indulge our inner thoughts, but honestly abide by them, which is a respect for ourselves and others.

What other reasons do you think you can't put chopsticks in the bowl? Please leave a comment below.
When eating, putting chopsticks in the rice bowl means worshiping the dead or cursing others or yourself, so don't put them like this.
When eating, what did chopsticks get stuck in the rice bowl and ruin? This is a custom handed down by our ancestors. It is usually an old friend of Ji's who puts chopsticks into his rice bowl. It is unreasonable not to help others like this at ordinary times. Why do you put chopsticks in your rice bowl when serving food to the dead? Because of this, chopsticks are a little easy to roll off when lying flat, especially when the rice bowl is placed on the coffin head, and chopsticks are easy to be knocked off when buried, so they need to be inserted into the rice bowl to be secure. This matter does not interfere in other people's affairs, nor does it violate anything in the country, so it has continued to this day.
In fact, it is also a mystery. In fact, nothing happened, but people say it's so good, so let's do it so as not to lose tune.
Why not say that nothing will stand in your way? There is an unfilial wife in the neighbor's house. When delivering food to her mother-in-law, she deliberately put chopsticks in the bowl, hoping to call you an old thing to die early. No matter where the old woman is, she invites me to dinner. Now the old woman is 84 years old, but nothing happened. The wife wondered, this law seems to be not working! This incident virtually criticized and exposed the story that feudal superstitions are deceptive!
Introduce the dietary taboos from childhood:
You can't smack your lips when you eat, but you will be fanned with chopsticks.
You can't sneeze at the table while eating, you will be beaten if you sneeze at the table.
You can't knock on the bowl with chopsticks when eating. You knock on the bowl and the elders knock on you.
Don't talk with something in your mouth, just swallow it.
You can only move chopsticks when the elders sit down and take them. You can only cook when your elders are picking up food.
Hold the food in your direction, don't pull the whole plate, your parents' eyes will make you tremble.
Eat rice, if you dare to put chopsticks in it.
