Another reason is that there is a legend that a righteous man who robbed the rich and helped the poor was arrested by the government in order to help those who fought against the Qing Dynasty and regained their sight. These people went to prison to give him food to thank him. Righteous man also wants to leave something as a souvenir, thank you for coming, but his hands and feet are tied behind his back, leaving nothing on him.
So I bit the bowl with my teeth, broke a tooth and left it to the people. Everyone was very sad and could not be saved, so this bowl was bitten by this righteous man. Since then, there has been an unwritten rule that there should be a gap in the bowl that delivers food to prisoners on death row. So no one will eat with a chipped bowl.
Extended information Taboos for Eating Bowls:
1. Why can't old bowls be thrown away casually?
I have a specific understanding, because in ordinary life, Lao pound can be said to be a job, and your life is everything to you, so in ordinary life, if you throw away the old leaky bowl, it is equivalent to throwing away all your work and life, so why not throw away the old bowl casually?
2. What should I do with the unused bowls?
Because in our daily life, we can't throw away old bowls, so what should we do? If you want to send it, you can send it to your family and friends unless it is a longevity bowl. On the other hand, it doesn't mean the end, it means the continuation, so there is not much knowledge here.
3. What does it mean that the eating bowl suddenly cracks?
When eating, the bowl itself cracks, which is a psychological "external reaction" and "exercise" In many ways, in addition to the possibility of bad luck, it also means that the dead come back to see it, or the dying patient has a bad omen. Therefore, in daily life, we should be a good person and learn to be filial, so it is very important to take stock of the taboos about bowls.
