How to install traditional chopsticks is beautiful and simple.

China's use of chopsticks for dining has been handed down from ancient times, and it was also called "chopsticks" in ancient times. In daily life, the use of chopsticks is very particular. Generally, when we use chopsticks, the correct way to use chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with the right hand, hold the upper end of chopsticks with the thumb and forefinger, and hold chopsticks with the other three fingers naturally bent, and the two ends of chopsticks must be aligned. In the use process, chopsticks must be placed neatly on the right side of the rice bowl before eating, and must be placed neatly in the middle of the rice bowl after eating. However, it is absolutely forbidden to use the following twelve kinds of chopsticks: 1, three long and two short: this means putting chopsticks on tables with uneven lengths before or during meals. This is unlucky. Usually we call it "three long and two short". It means "death". Because people in China used to think that people should be put into coffins after death, and people put them into coffins before they cover coffins. Coffins are made up of two short boards, with three long boards at the bottom of both sides. The coffins made of five boards together just happened to have any accident, so it is extremely unlucky. 2. The immortal guides the way: This practice is also extremely unacceptable. This method of holding chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and the index finger is extended. This is called "swearing" in the eyes of China people. Because when you eat, your index finger sticks out and always points at others. Generally, a finger of the index finger means accusation. Therefore, pointing at people while eating with chopsticks is tantamount to accusing others, just like swearing, which is not allowed. Another situation is this meaning, that is, talking to others while eating and pointing at people with chopsticks. 3. Leaving a sound on chopsticks: This practice is also unacceptable. The practice is to put one end of chopsticks in your mouth and push it back with your mouth, making a hissing sound from time to time. This kind of behavior is considered despicable. Because it is impolite to eat chopsticks with your mouth, and it is even more annoying when accompanied by sound. Therefore, this practice is generally considered to be the lack of family education and is not allowed. 4. Knocking on cups: This behavior is regarded as begging for food, and its practice is to knock on plates and bowls with chopsticks while eating. Because in the past, only beggars hit the begging bowl with chopsticks, and the sound was accompanied by crying in their mouths, which would attract the attention of pedestrians and give alms. This practice is considered extremely despicable and despised by others. 5, holding a tour of the city: this practice is to hold chopsticks in your hand, do nothing, use chopsticks to patrol the dishes on the table, and know where to get chopsticks. This kind of behavior is a typical lack of self-cultivation, and arrogance is extremely disgusting. 6. Digging a grave with puzzles: This refers to pulling chopsticks in a dish in order to find prey, just like digging a grave. This practice is similar to "visiting the city", which is both uneducated and boring. 7. Tears: Actually, this is the time when you pick up the dishes on the plate with chopsticks, and your hands are clumsy, and the soup is spilled into other dishes or on the table. This practice is considered to be a serious faux pas, and it is also undesirable. 8, hanging upside down: This means that chopsticks are used upside down when eating. This practice is very despised. As the saying goes, people are so hungry that they don't care about their faces. It is absolutely impossible to knock down chopsticks. 9. Dinghai Shenzhen: It is not possible to insert a chopstick into the dish on the plate when eating. This is considered a disgrace to the dining staff at the same table. Making such a move while eating is tantamount to putting up the middle finger in public in Europe, which means the same thing, and this is unacceptable. 10, burning incense in public: It is often out of kindness to help others fill their meals. In order to facilitate and save trouble, put a pair of chopsticks in their own meals and hand them to each other. It is regarded as disrespectful by people, because it is a tradition in China to do so when offering incense to the dead. If you insert a pair of chopsticks into your rice, it will be regarded as offering incense to the dead. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to insert chopsticks into a bowl.

Don't put chopsticks in the bowl either. There are plates or dinner plates that can be on it.
