the use of chopsticks in Chinese dining has been handed down from ancient times. In ancient times, it was also known as “chopsticks”. In daily life, the use of chopsticks is very particular. Generally, when we use chopsticks, the correct use method is to hold the chopsticks with our right hand, hold the upper end of the chopsticks with our thumb and index finger, bend the other three fingers naturally and hold the chopsticks, and the two ends of the chopsticks must be aligned. During use, chopsticks must be neatly stacked on the right side of the rice bowl before eating, and neatly and vertically stacked in the middle of the rice bowl after eating. However, it is absolutely forbidden to use the following twelve methods of chopsticks.
digging tombs with chopsticks in hand
this refers to picking and pulling in the vegetable dish in order to find prey, just like stealing tombs and digging tombs. This kind of practice is similar to the “wandering around the city” and belongs to the practice of lack of education, which is annoying.
teardrops
in fact, when you use chopsticks to put vegetables on your plate, you don’t have a clean hand and drop the vegetable soup on other dishes or tables. This practice is regarded as a serious faux pas and is also undesirable.
overturn the world
this means that chopsticks are used upside down during meals. This practice is very despised. It is the so-called hunger and no choice of food, so that they don’t care about their face. It’s absolutely not allowed to overturn chopsticks.
dinghaishen needle
can’t insert one chopstick into the dishes on the plate when eating. It’s considered a humiliation to the diners at the same table. Making such a move at dinner is tantamount to extending the middle finger to people in public in Europe. It is also impossible.
incense in public
is often out of kindness to help others with their meals. In order to make it convenient and convenient, insert a pair of chopsticks into the rice and hand them to each other. It is regarded as disrespectful by people, because Beijing’s tradition is to do this when offering incense to the dead. If you insert a pair of chopsticks into the rice, it will be regarded as offering incense to the dead. Therefore, inserting chopsticks in a bowl will never be accepted.
landing startling God
the so-called “landing startling God” means dropping chopsticks on the ground, which is a manifestation of serious impoliteness. Because Beijingers believe that all ancestors sleep underground and should not be disturbed. The landing of chopsticks is tantamount to alerting the ancestors underground. This is a great unfilial behavior, so this behavior is not allowed. However, there is a broken law. Once the chopsticks fall to the ground, you should quickly use the falling chopsticks to draw a cross on the ground according to the direction you sit. Its direction is from east to west and then from north to south. It means that I’m not a thing. I shouldn’t disturb my ancestors, then pick up chopsticks and say damn myself at the same time.
cross
this is often not noticed. When eating, put chopsticks on the table. This is wrong. Beijingers think that playing a fork at the dinner table is a total negation of others at the same table. Just like the nature of students writing wrong homework and being crossed by the teacher in the book, it can not be accepted by others. In addition, this practice is also disrespectful to yourself, because in the past, you only made a fork when you ate a lawsuit’s confession, which is undoubtedly negating yourself, which is also impossible.
hold chopsticks to patrol the city
. This method is to hold chopsticks in your hand and look like no one else. Use chopsticks to patrol the dishes on the table and know where to put them down. This behavior is a typical lack of self-cultivation, and arrogance is extremely disgusting.
hitting a lamp and knocking a cup
this behavior is regarded as beggars begging. Its practice is to knock plates and bowls with chopsticks during meals. In the past, only beggars used to hit the begging basin with chopsticks. The sound made by them, coupled with the cry in their mouth, made pedestrians pay attention and give alms. This practice is regarded as an extremely cheap thing and despised by others.
this method is also not good. The method is to hold one end of the chopsticks in your mouth and use your mouth to go back and make a hissing sound from time to time. This behavior is regarded as a cheap practice. Because it is rude to use chopsticks with your mouth when eating. Coupled with the sound, it is even more annoying. Therefore, generally, this practice will be regarded as a lack of tutoring, which can not be allowed.
the taboos of the above ten kinds of chopsticks should be paid attention to in our daily life. As a country of etiquette and an ancient city, people can see his profound cultural accumulation through the use of a pair of small chopsticks.
