"Don't make three dishes, five chopsticks and six seats." How to explain this sentence?

It is unlucky to put three dishes, five chopsticks represent three long and two short, and a table for six people represents eight seats. Since ancient times, China has been a country of etiquette. No matter big or small, we pay attention to etiquette, and there are countless manners at the dinner table. Usually a family eats, and adults teach children at most? Never leave the bowl, eat, lick your mouth, or stir the dishes? Such as common rules, but in fact this is just the tip of the iceberg of table manners, as we said today? If you don't put three dishes, there will be five chopsticks and six seats. This is also the rule at the dinner table. Although the meaning sounds superstitious, it sounds reasonable. Let me briefly say the meaning of these three sentences.

Usually when people come to our house, they usually cook six or eight dishes. Even if one person comes, it's three dishes and one soup. The reason is that China always pays attention to auspiciousness. What about here? Three? It embodies three bad meanings, the first and third are singular, and there has been a saying since ancient times that? What's up, man? So it is unlucky to put three dishes on the table. What is the homonym of two and three? Scattered? If the guests only serve three dishes, it means that this is a farewell dinner, in other words, after eating this meal, they will be strangers. Third, the number of tributes. Generally, when we worship the heaven or go to the temple, we will put three tribute plates. If someone comes from home, you put three dishes, and the person who knows will be reborn immediately. After all, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

Chopsticks are not equal to five. In fact, this sentence makes many people misunderstand that chopsticks cannot have five pairs, but this sentence does not mean this. Chopsticks don't make five. To be precise, it has five meanings. First, there can be five pairs or six pairs of chopsticks, but there can't be five pairs, and five pairs of chopsticks can't be of different lengths, because five pairs of chopsticks with different lengths symbolize three long and two short, which is very unlucky. Second, chopsticks can't be inserted directly into the rice, because this method of inserting chopsticks is to deliver food to the dead, which is what we call it? Pour rice? Third, chopsticks can't be inserted three times, which is a bit like putting incense into a censer when burning incense, so it also means unlucky. Fourth, chopsticks can't knock on the bowl, which is like a beggar begging. Fifth, after eating well, put chopsticks on the right side of the bowl to show that you have eaten well.

The so-called seats can't be six, which doesn't mean that a banquet can't have six tables, but that a table can sit either eight people or ten people. If there are only six people, you would rather not be crowded at all, two people sitting around and one person going up and down. This sitting posture, viewed from the side, looks like a turtle lying on its stomach, so it is also called? Turtle pad? So it doesn't sound good, and it doesn't look good sitting on the table.
