It is said that stepping on the threshold will ruin one's feng shui and collide with one's family god (folklore in some areas believes that every family has a protector). The custom of avoiding stepping on the threshold continued until the Qing Dynasty.
The threshold of Buddhist temples is high because it contains profound significance. As long as you step into this threshold, you will leave the secularity behind and feel the solemnity and sacredness at the foot of the Buddha with a pure and kind heart. You can't step on the threshold of the temple, because the Buddha is very taboo about feet and thinks that feet are dirty.
Dietary taboos:
1, the most taboo is to put chopsticks vertically in the rice.
Traditionally, when offering sacrifices to the dead, chopsticks should be inserted directly into the rice for the dead to enjoy. Because this method of inserting chopsticks is very particular, it shows that this bowl of rice is for the dead. Adults will teach children not to pose like this when they are young, which has become the first taboo when eating.
2. Avoid knocking bowls with children.
Beggars used to knock empty bowls with chopsticks and beg from door to door to attract people's attention. Knocking on the bowl with chopsticks has almost become a symbolic action of beggars.
Therefore, children with good family education are told from an early age that they can't knock on bowls with chopsticks. Naughty children will be severely criticized and even punished by their parents if they deliberately violate it. If adults still do this kind of behavior, it will be regarded as less tutoring.
