1. Do not beat bowls and basins with chopsticks. Guangzhou people are very taboo to beat bowls and basins with chopsticks when eating. When you have a dinner party at home, especially don't knock the chopsticks on the bowls and basins at random. It is often said that only beggars beat bowls and basins with chopsticks when begging for food.
There is another saying related to the ancient legend of "poison-poisoning". According to legend, the method is a kind of poisonous insect cultivated artificially. People put all kinds of insects into the altar. After many years, when they open it, there must be a bug that eats all the other insects. This winner is called "the method".
When you poison others with the powder of the magic method in food, you should recite a spell and beat the bowl and basin at the same time when poisoning, so as to make the magic method work. Therefore, it is taboo to beat bowls and basins with chopsticks.
2. When serving the whole fish, the belly of the fish should face the guest of honor to show respect. Generally speaking, pointing the belly of the fish at the host and guest is mainly because the belly of the fish has fewer thorns and is tender and delicious. However, there is actually an allusion.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Gongziguang (that is, He Lv, the king of Wu) wanted to kill Wang Liao and stand on his own feet. Wu Zixu recommended the assassin Zhuan Zhu to Gong Gongguang, but Zhuan Zhu didn't have a chance to get close to Wu Wangliao at ordinary times. Knowing that Liao loves to eat roasted fish, Zhuan Zhu went to worship Taihe Gong as his teacher.
After learning the skill of frying fish, Zhuan Zhu took the opportunity of inviting Wu Wangliao to dinner at home, made a whole fish, hid the dagger in the belly of the fish, took out the dagger when serving, stabbed Wu Wangliao, and Zhuan Zhu was also killed by Wu Wangliao's guards. Since then, all banquet guests have to point the fish belly at the host and guest to show goodwill.
