Originally, others may live to be seventy or eighty, but pointing at others with chopsticks is easy to die. Not only that, but it will also have an impact on your life, and it may also be your birthday.
Secondly, it is impolite.
It's just a tool for eating. If you point chopsticks at others, it's an unreasonable misuse of chopsticks, and it's also a sign that it's easy to have a bad influence on your family. Chopsticks are in pairs, but if you take chopsticks, you want others to separate quickly, which means separating others, so maybe this behavior will separate a pair of friends with good feelings.
Third, mutual injury and harmony.

Why can't eating with chopsticks refer to people? Eating with chopsticks is a habit handed down from ancient times, which was also called "chopsticks" in ancient times. In many western countries, there is no such habit, and more people use spoons, forks or knives, or even grasp them directly with their hands. Different countries have different living customs, and different regions also have different pay attention to them.
Generally speaking, when we use chopsticks, the correct way to use them is to hold them with our right hand, hold the upper end of chopsticks with our thumb and forefinger, and hold chopsticks with the other three fingers naturally bent, and the two ends of chopsticks must be aligned. Before eating, chopsticks must be neatly placed on the right side of the rice bowl. After eating, chopsticks must be neatly placed vertically on the dining table next to the right side of the rice bowl.
Since ancient times, Hakka people have been very concerned about the use of chopsticks. Sometimes, because of a casual move, it may be a kind of injury and impolite behavior for others. Proper use of chopsticks is a sign of respect for others. It is impolite to point at others with chopsticks while eating.
It doesn't matter if you don't take chopsticks in your hand. Use chopsticks to pull back and forth in the dish tray on the table and choose your favorite dishes. This kind of behavior is typical of lack of self-cultivation, arrogance and extreme nausea.
In daily life, we must pay attention to the correct use of chopsticks at different times, places and occasions. These simple life etiquette are indispensable. Since ancient times, we have been a country of etiquette. With a pair of small chopsticks, people can see the profound cultural accumulation and people's cultural accomplishment. We should not only understand these taboos and use them correctly, but also further spread healthy eating habits.
Don't scratch chopsticks on the table casually when eating. This point is often overlooked by people. Playing with a fork at the dinner table is a total denial of others at the same table, just like the nature that students write wrong homework in this book and the teacher plays with a fork is unacceptable to others. 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, which is undoubtedly denying myself.
Why can't you point at people with chopsticks when eating?
First: taboo three long and two short.
The so-called three long and two short chopsticks are put on the table before eating. Many families have the habit of taking out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks cage before eating and spreading them on the table. Chopsticks are short and long, which immediately reminds people of an idiom, that is, the word "three long and two short" and "anything happens" must be known to everyone.
In fact, "three long and two short" is a special metaphor. How can I put it? In ancient times, people were buried in coffins after death. A coffin without a lid is only composed of three long boards and two short boards. So the word "three long and two short" is very bad, and the use of chopsticks must not be three long and two short.
Second: taboo fairy guidance.
The "immortal leading the way" mentioned here actually refers to pointing at people with chopsticks when eating. This is very impolite behavior, a bit like "swearing". Pointing at people with chopsticks is undoubtedly the index finger pointing at people. If you don't believe me, you can try to see if your thumb and middle finger are holding chopsticks, and your index finger should stretch out to buckle this chopstick.
The other chopstick is held by the ring finger and the little finger. So when you point at people with chopsticks, you must point at people with your index finger. At this point, some partners are about to start wrangling, so if you point at people with chopsticks in your hand, you don't have to point at people with your index finger. Will there be no swearing soon? For such a "friend", I just want to say: I still care about my family!
Third: avoid leaving sound on the pin.
"Chopsticks" also means chopsticks, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was gradually renamed as "chopsticks". It is very impolite to put chopsticks in your mouth and make a squeaking sound. In a well-behaved family, this kind of behavior is considered as a kind of "despicable" behavior, and a decent person would never do such a move. If your mouth squeaks, it's a perfect match! This is definitely a perfect display without a tutor.
Fourth: Don't knock on bowls and plates.
In other words, you can't knock on bowls and plates with chopsticks. In the early years, this was the standard action of begging, so knocking on the bowl with chopsticks at random would be considered begging. If you are a guest at someone else's house, it can be said that it is revealed in another way, that is, "scolding the cook", that is, scolding the person who cooks for you. Therefore, it is absolutely impolite to knock on vegetables with chopsticks.
Fifth: Don't burn incense in class.
To burn incense in class is to insert chopsticks into the rice until it burns incense. Generally, when someone delivers a meal, they will kindly give you a pair of chopsticks. If there is no place to put chopsticks, just insert them into the meal. In fact, this method of inserting chopsticks is very taboo. This is the way to place offerings to the dead. Bowls are like incense burners, and chopsticks are equivalent to incense. In ancient times, chopsticks were also inserted into the bowl for the last meal of a prisoner who was about to be beheaded. So this method of writing white is extremely unlucky.
Sixth: Don't be afraid to land.
Landing shock means that chopsticks accidentally fall to the ground. When it was time for some partners to talk again, they accidentally fell to the ground. Just pick it up and wipe it, or it will be over if you don't change it for another one. In fact, it is a taboo to drop chopsticks on the ground. It is impolite to drop chopsticks on the ground.
Especially in Beijing. Ancestors are underground, and chopsticks fall on the ground, which is tantamount to disturbing their rest and is a great unfilial act. In Beijing, if you accidentally drop chopsticks on the ground, you should pick them up quickly and draw a cross on the ground from east to west and then from south to north to show that I am nothing. Please forgive me.
