Twelve Taboos of Using Chopsticks in China

China's use of chopsticks for dining has been handed down from ancient times, and it was also called' chopsticks' in ancient times.

The use of chopsticks in daily life is very particular. Usually, when we use chopsticks,

The correct way to use chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with your right hand and hold the upper end of chopsticks with your thumb and forefinger.

The other three fingers naturally bend to hold the chopsticks, and both ends of the chopsticks must be aligned.

During use, chopsticks must be neatly packed on the right side of the rice bowl before eating.

Be sure to put it neatly in the middle of the rice bowl after eating.

But it is absolutely forbidden to use the following twelve kinds of chopsticks.

1. Anything happens:

This means that before or during a meal,

It is unlucky to put chopsticks on the table in different lengths.

Usually we call it' three long and two short'. It means "death".

Because people in China used to think that people should be put in coffins after death,

After people put it in the coffin, before they put the lid on it,

The coffin consists of two short boards.

There are three long boards with bottoms on both sides.

The coffin made of five boards is exactly three long and two short.

So this is extremely unlucky.

2. Fairy Guide:

This practice is also extremely unacceptable. This method of holding chopsticks,

Hold chopsticks with your thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and extend your index finger.

This is called "cursing the street" in the eyes of Beijingers. Because your index finger sticks out when you eat,

Always pointing at others, when Beijingers usually point at each other with their forefinger,

Most of them have the meaning of accusation. Therefore, when eating with chopsticks, point at people.

It is tantamount to accusing others, and like swearing, it cannot be allowed.

There is another situation that means the same thing, that is, talking to others and pointing at people with chopsticks while eating.

3.Pinpin voice:

This practice is not good either. Is to put one end of chopsticks in your mouth.

Go back with your mouth and hiss from time to time.

This kind of behavior is considered despicable.

Because it is impolite to eat chopsticks with your mouth,

Plus the sound, it is even more annoying.

Therefore, this practice is generally considered to be the lack of family education and cannot be allowed.

4. Knock on the cup:

This behavior is regarded as begging by beggars.

Its practice is to tap the dishes with chopsticks when eating.

Because in the past, only beggars would knock on begging bowls with chopsticks.

Its voice is accompanied by shouts in the mouth, which makes pedestrians pay attention and give alms.

This practice is considered extremely despicable and despised by others.

5. Visit the city:

This practice is holding chopsticks in your hand and doing nothing.

Shuttling back and forth in the dishes on the table with chopsticks,

I don't know where to put chopsticks. This behavior is a typical lack of self-cultivation.

And arrogance is extremely disgusting.

6. Dig a grave:

This refers to holding chopsticks in hand and constantly pulling vegetables.

In search of prey, like a grave digger.

This kind of practice is similar to' visiting the city', which is neither educated nor interesting.

7. Tears and beads:

In fact, this is when you put food on your plate with chopsticks.

My hands are unclear, and the soup is spilled in other dishes or on the table.

This practice is regarded as a serious faux pas and equally undesirable.

8. Reverse dry Kun:

That is to say, it is very despised to use chopsticks upside down when eating.

As the saying goes, you are too hungry to care about your face. It is absolutely impossible to knock off your chopsticks.

9. Shenzhen Dinghai:

It's no good holding the dishes on the plate with chopsticks when eating.

This is considered a disgrace to the dining staff at the same table.

Do this at dinner,

In Europe, sticking out the middle finger in front of people means the same thing, which is unacceptable.

10. incense in class:

Helping others eat is often out of kindness.

In order to save trouble, put a pair of chopsticks in the rice and hand them to each other.

Be regarded as disrespectful,

Because the tradition in Beijing is to do this when offering incense to the dead,

If you insert a pair of chopsticks into rice,

It is tantamount to being regarded as offering incense to the dead.

Therefore, it is absolutely unacceptable to put chopsticks in a bowl.

1 1. Cross:

This point is often overlooked. Chopsticks cross on the table casually when eating.

This is wrong, because Beijingers think there should be a fork at the dinner table.

It is a total denial of others at the same table, just like a student writing a wrong homework.

Being hit by a teacher with a fork is the same in nature and cannot be accepted by others.

In addition, this practice is also disrespectful to yourself.

Because I used to cross my statement only when I was in a lawsuit.

This is undoubtedly denying yourself, which is also unacceptable.

12. landing shock:

The so-called "landing shock" means accidentally dropping chopsticks on the ground.

This is a serious rudeness, because Beijingers think that,

Ancestors are buried underground and should not be disturbed.

Chopsticks fall to the ground, which is tantamount to sounding the alarm for the ancestors underground. This is a big unfilial act.

So this kind of behavior is also not allowed. But it's illegal.

As soon as the chopsticks land, you should use them quickly according to your sitting direction.

Draw a cross on the ground. Its direction is east-west, then north-south. That means I'm nothing.

You should not disturb your ancestors, then pick up chopsticks and talk about yourself at the same time.
