What do you mean by putting chopsticks in your rice?

Chopsticks stuck in rice mean that they are for the dead. According to the older generation, chopsticks will only be inserted in a bowl full of rice when worshipping the dead. Some places are called pouring rice. Pouring rice is not for the living, but for the dead. If you put chopsticks into the rice while eating, it will bring you bad luck.

When eating, don't wave chopsticks left and right, turn them upside down. When you see someone else holding food, you should pay attention to avoid it and prevent "chopsticks fighting". When eating, you should not lick the attachments on chopsticks with your tongue, nor put chopsticks in your mouth, nor push bowls, plates and cups with chopsticks. When others are eating, you can't poke chopsticks in front of others, and you can't point them at others.

When using chopsticks, you can't use them backwards. If you use your tail as the head of chopsticks, you will be looked down upon. This must not happen. Chopsticks can't be crossed on the table. If you cross chopsticks at the dinner table, it is a total denial of others at the same table and a disrespect for yourself.
