Three long and two short refers to putting chopsticks on uneven tables before or during meals. This practice is unlucky and is called "three long and two short".
If anything happens, it means "death". Three long and two short are unlucky because the coffin after the death of our predecessors consists of two short boards, with three long boards at the bottom of both sides. The coffin made of five boards together happens to be three long and two short, so this is extremely unlucky.
2. Avoid the guidance of the gods
This is a disrespectful way to hold chopsticks. The so-called "immortal leading the way" means holding chopsticks with thumb and middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and the index finger sticking out.
This is called "cursing the street". Because when eating, the index finger sticks out and always points at others, which means accusing. Another situation is that "the gods show the way", that is, talking to others while eating and pointing at people with chopsticks is an act of disrespect to others.
3. Don't leave a sound.
Pinpin is to put one end of chopsticks in your mouth, carry it back with your mouth and make a sound. It is very impolite behavior.
4, avoid knocking on the cup.
"Knocking on the lamp and the cup" is regarded as a beggar begging, and its practice is to knock on the plates and bowls with chopsticks when 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.
5. Avoid patrolling the city.
"Holding chopsticks around the city" means holding chopsticks in your hand, doing nothing, and rummaging through the dishes on the table with chopsticks. This is very impolite and disrespectful.
6. Don't be obsessed with digging graves
"Digging a grave with a riddle" means rummaging through a plate with chopsticks, just like digging a grave with a grave. This practice is similar to "visiting the city" and belongs to the lack of education.
7, avoid tears and beads
"Tears on beads" means that when chopsticks are used to pick up vegetables, the soup is not neatly filled and spilled into other dishes or tables. This practice is considered impolite and one of the taboos of chopsticks.
8. Avoid incense in public places.
"Incense in public" means putting chopsticks in rice. It is regarded as disrespectful by people, because it is a tradition to do so when offering incense to the dead. If you insert a pair of chopsticks into rice, it is regarded as offering incense to the dead, which is one of the feng shui taboos of chopsticks.
9. Avoid crossing.
This point is often overlooked by people. "Cross" means to put chopsticks on the table casually when eating. Traditionally, crossing the table is a total denial of others at the same table. In addition, this practice is also disrespectful to myself, because in the past, I only used a fork to express my confession when I was in court.
10, to avoid falling to the ground.
It means accidentally dropping chopsticks on the ground, which is also a serious rudeness. Traditionally, all ancestors were buried underground and should not be disturbed. Chopsticks fell on the ground, unfilial.
Traditionally, when chopsticks land, they should quickly draw a cross on the ground according to the sitting direction. Its direction is east and west first, then north and south.
