Twelve Taboo Taboo For Chopsticks In Chinese

1, three or two: it means putting the chopsticks on the table before or during the meal.

Such a practice is very unlucky. We usually call it "three long and two short".

It means "death".

Because Chinese people used to think that when people were dead, they had to be coffin. When they were put in, the coffin was composed of two short planks. There were three long boards on both sides. The five coffins were made up of three long and two short, so it was extremely unlucky.

2, immortals guide the way: this practice is extremely unacceptable. This way of holding chopsticks is to use the thumb and middle finger, ring finger and pinky finger to hold the chopsticks, while the index finger sticks out.

This is called "curse the street" in the eyes of Beijing people.

Because at the time of eating, the index finger is stretched out, and it is always pointing to others. When people in Beijing extend their index fingers to refer to each other, they usually have the meaning of accusation.

Therefore, eating fingers when using chopsticks is like criticizing others. This is the same as calling names. It can not be allowed.

There is another thing that means eating with others and using chopsticks to refer to people.

3, product voice: this practice is not acceptable, the practice is to put one end of the chopsticks in their mouths, and use their mouths to return to them.

Such behaviour is seen as a cheap act.

Because it is rude to use your mouth and chopsticks when you eat, and it is even more annoying to mix with your voice.

So this kind of practice is generally considered to be a lack of tutoring, nor can it be allowed.

4, percussion Cup: this behavior is regarded as beggar begging, and its practice is to use chopsticks to beat dishes when eating.

In the past, beggars only used chopsticks to beat beggars, and the sounds they produced were accompanied by the begging of their mouths to make pedestrians pay attention and give alms.

Such a practice is regarded as extremely abject and disregarded by others.

5, hold on patrol City: this way is holding chopsticks in hand, doing no one else, use chopsticks to patrol the dishes on the table and know where to chopsticks.

Such behavior is a typical lack of self-cultivation, and it is extremely objectionable.

6, fan Graves: This refers to the holding of chopsticks in the dish can not stop in the pull-out, in order to find prey, like graves grave.

This approach is similar to the "patrols", which is a lack of upbringing.

7. The remains of the tears: in fact, when chopsticks are used to pick vegetables in their own dishes, they are not easy to move in the hands, leaving vegetable soup to other dishes or tables.

This practice is regarded as a serious impolite and equally undesirable.

8, the reverse is true: this means that chopsticks are used upside down when eating. This practice is very despised by people. They are so hungry that they do not care about their food, so that they do not care about their faces.

9. Fixing the sea spirit needle: it is not acceptable to use a chopstick to insert dishes on the plate while eating, which is considered a shame for the table dinning personnel.

Making such a move at meal time means that it is the same as sticking out the middle finger in Europe.

10, incense in public: it is often out of kindness to help others to feast their meals, for the convenience of saving a chopsticks in the meal to the other side.

The participants were regarded as disrespectful because the tradition of Beijing was to incense the dead. If a chopsticks were inserted into the meal, they were regarded as giving incense to the dead. Therefore, it is not acceptable to put chopsticks in a bowl.

11, cross cross: This is often not noticed by people. When chopsticks are served, they are criss cross on the table.

This is not right. For the people of Beijing, they think that forks on the table are all negation of others at the table. Just like students' wrong writing assignments, the nature of being forked by the teacher in this book can not be accepted by others.

In addition, this practice is also disrespectful to oneself, because in the past, when the lawsuit was painted, the fork was used. This is undoubtedly negating itself, which is also not acceptable.

12, landing surprised God: the so-called "landing scared God" means to drop the chopsticks on the ground, which is a manifestation of serious impolite.

Because the people of Beijing believe that all the ancestors are sleeping underground, they should not be disturbed. Chopsticks landing is like raising the ancestors of the underground. This is a great filial piety, so this kind of behavior is also not allowed.

However, if there is any way to break the chopsticks, they should use the chopsticks on the ground to draw crosses on the ground according to the direction they are sitting.

Its direction is first and then north and south.

It means that I am not a thing, I should not disturb my ancestors, then I will set up chopsticks and say I am damn.

The taboo of the twelve chopsticks mentioned above is something we should pay attention to in our daily life. As a ceremonies and an ancient city, the use of a pair of small chopsticks can make people see his deep cultural accumulation.
