Reasons of Taboo in Using Chopsticks

1, sucking chopsticks is unsightly.

This kind of behavior is considered an indecent practice. Because it is impolite to hold chopsticks with your mouth while eating, and it is even more annoying to be accompanied by sound. Therefore, this practice will generally be considered as a lack of self-cultivation and no family education.

2. Uneven length is unlucky

It is considered unlucky to put chopsticks on the table for different lengths before or during meals. Usually we call it "three long and two short", which means "death". Because the coffin used to pretend to be dead is composed of two short boards, with three long boards at the bottom of both sides, the coffin made of five boards together happens to be three long and two short, so it is extremely unlucky.

3. Beating chopsticks is not allowed

Why can't you beat bowls and basins with chopsticks? People often say that this behavior is similar to begging, because only beggars beat bowls and pots with chopsticks when begging. There is also a saying related to the ancient legend of "antivirus". According to legend, this method is a poisonous insect cultivated artificially. People put all kinds of insects into the altar. Many years later, when they opened it, a bug must have eaten all the other insects. This winner is called "Method". When people are killed by food poisoning, you should say a spell and beat the bowl and basin at the same time, so that the method can work. Therefore, it is taboo to beat bowls and basins with chopsticks.
