What does it mean to give someone a bowl?

Bowls can't be given away casually. Putting aside feng shui is to give people a "rice bowl."

Then you can't send 1 bowl unless you send a gold bowl or a silver bowl. If you want to send ceramic bowls, it will generally reach a certain number, such as 8 bowls, which means "send". In addition, spoons and chopsticks should be provided, which is basically a gift package.

According to the material of the bowl, the best one for others is the bone China bowl, which is transparent under the light and suitable for giving to superiors or customers. There is also a glazed bowl, which is more expensive than bone China because of its complicated glazing process and is suitable for distinguished guests. Here is a simple gift, which only pays attention to human feelings, not feng shui and so on.

In feng shui, you can't give away unused bowls unless they are longevity bowls. If it is between relatives and friends, then this old bowl can be given away. The bowl for relatives and friends here does not mean the end, but the continuation.

Bowls are people's daily necessities. The origin of the bowl can't be verified at present, but it can be traced back to the bowl made of argillaceous pottery in Neolithic age. Its shape is not much different from today's, that is, the mouth is big and the bottom is small, and the mouth is wide and the bottom is narrow. There are bowl feet under it, the height of which is generally half of the diameter of the mouth edge, mostly round and rarely square. What is constantly changing is only the material, technology level and decoration means. The general purpose is to hold food. Most people in China like to use bowls as a tool for eating, while westerners prefer plates. Bowl can be homophonic "Wan", meaning to retain, and can be used as a hand-holding gift, which has good symbolic significance.
