Ten laws of ancestors

The ten rules of our ancestors are: you can't say "turn over" when eating fish, chopsticks can't be inserted vertically in rice, and you can't say "Do you want more rice?" You can't say "broken" when the dumpling skin is broken. The mirror is broken. You have to say "break it", pears can't be shared, and you can't knock your job.

1, you can't say "turn" when eating fish.

Turning fish and transshipment are homophonic. Fish should be upside down from the beginning, which means "turn around" and come back safely.

2. Chopsticks cannot be inserted vertically in rice.

Inserting chopsticks vertically into rice is considered disrespectful only when the deceased were sacrificed and burned incense in ancient times. There is also a saying that prisoners on death row will stand up with chopsticks at the last meal. In any case, placing chopsticks vertically is not allowed.

If you add rice to your guests, you must not say "Do you want more rice?" .

The word "begging" is very rude. If the guests don't say anything, they will be unhappy and think that they are not welcome by the host family. The correct question should be whether to add more rice.

4, the dumpling skin is broken, you can't say "broken".

It is a tradition in our country to have a reunion dinner in jiaozi on New Year's Day. If the dumpling skin is broken when you go to jiaozi, you must not say "broken". Because the old people think that the New Year indicates the fortune of the coming year, it is very unlucky to say "broken" on this day. We should say that dumpling skins are "earned", which means that if you earn more money, the skins will not fit.

5, the mirror is broken, you must say "broken peace."

Mirrors play an important role in China's ghost films, which many people in China believe. Broken mirror is a bad omen, and it may be unlucky for three years, but a few words of "second time around" can save the day. It is a unique local custom in China that it is better to believe what it has than what it has.

6. Pears cannot be shared.

Divide pears into pears, homophonic "separation", meaning unlucky.

7, can't knock the rice bowl.

Many children will knock on the bowl with chopsticks, which is purely fun, but in the eyes of adults, knocking on the bowl with chopsticks is a beggar's practice. Aren't you cursing the poor family? Very uneducated and disgusting.

8. Don't make noise when eating, and don't suck when drinking soup.

Many children make all kinds of noises when eating. This is the basic etiquette at the dinner table, which is related to family education. Many old people will say that such children lack family education.

9. If the elders don't move chopsticks, the younger generation can't move.

When a family eats together, the elders can't move chopsticks, and the younger generation can't move. Only when the elders move chopsticks can the younger generation eat. This is a sign of respect for the elderly.

10, hold the bowl while eating.

You must hold the bowl with your hands when eating. Don't put a hand under the table and eat generously, or adults will say, "Did you break your hand?" Or something like "dogs don't help bowls when they eat."
