Chopsticks, like Chinese characters, have an important and iconic role for East Asian civilization. Chopsticks are not only the first choice for most Chinese people, they have evolved into a unique eating custom and have influenced some neighboring countries.This week, we continue to learn about the taboos of using chopsticks.
Do not use one chopsticks to serve food onto your plate. This is considered an embarrassment to people who eat at the same table. Making such a move while eating is equivalent to showing the middle finger to people in public in the West.
Do not cross chopsticks on the table when eating. This is not right. In this way, a cross-mark is formed, which is a total denial of other people at the same table. In addition, this practice is also disrespectful to oneself and denying oneself, which is not acceptable.
