A sign that chopsticks are broken
Chopsticks are tools for eating. Chopsticks are broken while eating, which may imply that the tools for work income are broken. In other words, you will encounter some obstacles in your work, and your recent work may not be so smooth, or even lose-lose. Chopsticks are in pairs. If a chopstick is broken, it indicates that something bad will happen, and the health and family of yourself or your family will have problems. You need constant attention and care everywhere.
Avoid uneven length of chopsticks.
"Long and short chopsticks" is a taboo on the dining table in many areas of Jiangxi. According to reports, "long and short chopsticks" refers to a pair of chopsticks with different lengths, or chopsticks placed irregularly on the table, which is regarded as an ominous sign and even means "death".
In daily dining, this practice will violate the taboo of the elderly at home, and it is suspected of "three long and two short". Because in the past, before the coffin was closed, it was considered unlucky because it was composed of two short boards, three long boards at the bottom of both sides and five boards of "three long boards and two short boards".
In addition, if chopsticks are inserted vertically in the rice, they will also be reprimanded by the old people at home, because this is the unique insertion method of chopsticks when offering sacrifices at the table. China has the custom of offering food to ancestors since ancient times. Considering that the old friend has left his body and can no longer use chopsticks freely, he put chopsticks vertically on the sacrificial bowl and basin. And the chopsticks erected are like incense inserted during sacrifice. Therefore, doing this at ordinary times will be considered blasphemous and cause unhappiness.
Chopsticks fell to the ground in shock.
In the old days, it was impolite for chopsticks to fall to the ground, which was called "falling earthquake god". People think it is unfilial to disturb the ancestors who are buried underground when chopsticks fall to the ground. Therefore, once the chopsticks fall on the ground, you can't pick them up immediately. You should draw a "ten" on the ground with the chopsticks that have fallen on the ground, and at the same time mumble something to ask your ancestors for forgiveness.
However, in daily life, the accidental dropping of chopsticks is inevitable, so gradually, people become tolerant of the taboo of "falling earthquake god", and some places even skillfully turn it into auspicious meaning to gain a good impression. For example, in Ji 'an and other places, once chopsticks fall on the ground, people will take a homophonic sound and say loudly, "Happy when chopsticks fall." Suddenly, the embarrassment can be resolved.
