Chopsticks are taboo in geomantic omen. We in China use chopsticks every day. Chopsticks are also very common things in people's lives in China. Chopsticks have different meanings besides eating. The following is a detailed introduction to the feng shui taboos of chopsticks.
The feng shui taboo of chopsticks is 1. 1. Taboo chopsticks vary in length. Many families often mix old and new chopsticks. When using it, I found that the length is uneven, the pattern is different, and the style is different. You should immediately change to a unified one, which is not suitable for your home.
Second, when eating, it is forbidden to tap the dishes with chopsticks. This is an unconscious habit that needs to be changed! Get rid of not only indecent gestures, but also economic difficulties and beggars' lives.
Third, talk to people while eating, and point or row with chopsticks. This action is impolite, but the potential danger is short-lived! Therefore, no matter how high the social status is, how powerful the Jianghu is and how rich it is, it is the same in front of life. Let's hold back.
Fourth, if there is no one else at the banquet, the chopsticks in your hand will go back and forth in the dish, looking for where to get them. If this problem is not corrected, there will never be peace at home in this life.
When eating, you need to leave the table. When putting chopsticks in the rice or helping others to fill the rice, it is convenient and quick to put a pair of chopsticks in the rice and hand them to each other. It's as bad as putting incense on the dead.
Put chopsticks on the table when eating. According to folklore, putting a cross at the dinner table is a total denial of the people at the same table. This situation is often unintentional. If it happens, it should be put away quickly. This is a warning, be careful of your prison officer's misconduct.
Chopsticks' feng shui taboo 2 1, three long and two short;
This means putting chopsticks on tables of different lengths before or during meals. This is unlucky. Usually we call it "three long and two short". It means "death".
Because people in China used to think that people should be put into coffins after death, and when people put them in, the coffins are made up of two short boards, with three long boards at the bottom of both sides, and the coffins made of five boards together are just unlucky.
2. The fairy guide way:
This practice is also extremely unacceptable. This method of holding chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with thumb and middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and the index finger is extended. This is called "cursing the street" in the eyes of Beijingers.
Because when you eat, your index finger sticks out and always points at others. When Beijingers generally extend their index fingers to each other, most of them have the meaning of accusation. Therefore, pointing at people while eating with chopsticks is tantamount to accusing others, just like swearing, which is not allowed. Another situation is this meaning, that is, talking to others and pointing at people with chopsticks while eating.
3, pin sound:
This practice is not good either. The practice is to put one end of chopsticks in your mouth, carry it with your mouth, and hiss from time to time. This kind of behavior is considered despicable. Because it is impolite to eat chopsticks with your mouth, and it is even more annoying when accompanied by sound. Therefore, this practice is generally considered to be the lack of family education and is not allowed.
4. Knock on the cup:
This kind of behavior is considered as a beggar begging, and its practice is to knock on vegetables with chopsticks while eating. Because in the past, only beggars hit the begging bowl with chopsticks, and the sound was accompanied by crying in their mouths, which would attract the attention of pedestrians and give alms. This practice is considered extremely despicable and despised by others.
5. Hold a city tour:
This practice is holding chopsticks in hand, doing nothing, using chopsticks to patrol the dishes on the table and see where to get chopsticks. This kind of behavior is a typical lack of self-cultivation, and arrogance is extremely disgusting.
6. Dig a grave:
This refers to holding chopsticks in a dish in order to find prey, just like a grave robber. This practice is similar to "visiting the city", which is both uneducated and boring.
7. Tears and beads:
In fact, this is when you pick up the dishes on your plate with chopsticks, your hands are clumsy, and the soup spills into other dishes or on the table. This practice is regarded as a serious faux pas and equally undesirable.
8. Reverse dry Kun:
That is to say, it is very despised to use chopsticks upside down when eating. Never knock chopsticks down because you are so hungry that you don't care about your face.
9. Shenzhen Dinghai:
It is not good to hold the dishes on the plate with chopsticks when eating, which is a shame to the diners at the same table. Making such a move while eating is tantamount to putting up the middle finger in public in Europe, which means the same thing, and this is unacceptable.
10, burning incense in public:
Often out of kindness, when helping others to fill their meals, it is convenient to put a pair of chopsticks in their meals and hand them to each other. It is regarded as disrespectful by people, because the tradition in Beijing is to do this when offering incense to the dead. If you insert a pair of chopsticks into your rice, it will be regarded as the same as offering incense to the dead. Therefore, it is absolutely unacceptable to put chopsticks in a bowl.
Geomantic taboo of chopsticks 3 i. Development of chopsticks
In that era of eating animals and blood, there were no chopsticks. Chopsticks were gradually invented and began to be used until humans learned to cook food by barbecue, steaming and cooking. Chopsticks have developed from two branches and sticks to bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials. And formed a unified system, such as: chopsticks have round ends and square ends.
The symbol of the circle is the sky, and the symbol of the square corresponds to the place where the sky is round; Chopsticks are 7 inches and 6 minutes long, indicating that people have secular desires; Chopsticks should appear in pairs, indicating the harmony of yin and yang, yes-men; Use silver chopsticks and ivory chopsticks to indicate rank and status.
Second, pay attention to the use of chopsticks.
Chopsticks, invented in China, were called chopsticks and chopsticks in ancient times. They are one of the symbols of China's food culture and one of the commonly used tableware in the world. In daily life, the use of chopsticks has complete rules on life, culture and etiquette, which is very particular.
For example, when we use chopsticks, the correct way to use chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with the right hand, hold the upper end of chopsticks with the thumb and forefinger, and hold chopsticks with the other three fingers naturally bent, and the two ends of chopsticks must be aligned.
In addition, when waiting for a meal, chopsticks should be placed on the right side of the rice bowl, not crossed or thrown on the table; When eating, don't wave chopsticks, let alone beat the plate with chopsticks; After eating, you must put it neatly in the middle of the rice bowl.
Third, the taboo of using chopsticks.
Eating with chopsticks also has many taboos, which must be strictly prohibited. For example, it is unlucky to put chopsticks with uneven length or inconsistent specifications and models; Mouth chopsticks are even more boring; Talk to others while eating, and point at people with chopsticks; Insert a pair of chopsticks into the rice; Tap the plate with chopsticks; Holding chopsticks and constantly pulling in the dish are all uncivilized and extremely disgusting.
As for the statement that "chopsticks are a big taboo on the table", it should be said that you should not use chopsticks upside down when eating! Chopsticks have square heads and round heads. The square symbolizes the earth (Kun hexagrams) and the circle symbolizes the sky (dry hexagrams).
Generally, holding chopsticks is to hold the handle of chopsticks in your hand and hold the food with the head of chopsticks. Kun is going up and down. This is the divination of "Tian Tian Tai", which is smooth, smooth and auspicious; If you use it upside down, hold the chopstick head in your hand, hold the food with the chopstick handle, dry it on the top, and let it dry on the bottom. This is the divination of heaven and earth (pǐ), which means blocked. So chopsticks can't be used backwards.
