From large buildings to small needles and threads, which have a certain feng shui effect, nowadays, all kinds of bowls make people dazzled, and their uses have gradually increased, not only becoming tools for people to eat, but also becoming ornaments.
In fact, bowls have been a necessity in our daily lives since ancient times, and they have an extraordinary significance in traditional Chinese culture. Today, let's share with you a few of the more common folk sayings about the "bowl"
Don't knock on the bowl
I remember when I was a child, I always liked to knock on the bowl with chopsticks, and as a result, I was counted down by my grandparents.
When eating for no reason to knock the bowl with chopsticks, folk sayings think that this will knock away the good luck of the family, and the days will get poorer and poorer, so if the children like to knock the bowl, they will be taught by the adults.
Because, in the old days, when beggars asked for food, they would "bell and bell" knock on the bowl like this, and if you did this, it was as if you were asking for rice. As the saying goes, eat without speaking, sleeping without speaking, and obeying the rules when eating, especially children, cannot make strange noises to disturb people's purity.
Serve with a bowl
Now, some people like to put the bowl on the table when eating, and the mouth is past, one is that it is more convenient, and the other is that they can free up their hands to play with their mobile phones and eat while playing.
However, such an action is not only unsightly, but also appears to be uncultured in the presence of elders at the party, which is very inappropriate. Moreover, this is also an act of bad luck, if people develop the habit of eating improperly in the long run, they will leave themselves with poverty.
Therefore, we should try to put the bowl up when eating, so that we can eat politely to show respect for the people at the same table, which is in line with etiquette.
The meaning of breaking a bowl
When people accidentally break the bowl in life, most of them will silently recite a few words of "broken peace", one is to play a comforting role, and the other is to hope that it will not cause disasters because of breaking the bowl.
It can be seen that breaking a bowl has a bad meaning in folklore, and some other pottery items such as cups or plates will have a similar meaning when they are broken.
Especially during the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve night, or the first day of the Chinese New Year, it is best not to break the dishes, which means that the next year can be smooth and smooth.
Broken bowl is not used
Although the use of broken bowls can be seen as thrifty, from the perspective of feng shui, this is actually a symbol of broken wealth, and it is also very unsafe, and broken bowls may scratch the mouth and palms.
If you are really reluctant to throw it away, you can choose to use it in the sacrificial cemetery, because this can make the deceased understand that the bowl will never be used again; second, it can express the nostalgia for the deceased.
