Why can't the old bowl be thrown away?
In folk customs, even if the bowl is used, it can't be thrown away, because it represents our work, and throwing away our "rice bowl" means that everything has been bad for you this year. Old bowls are usually wrapped in red cloth and put at home. Don't throw them away.
2. Stealing bowls at funerals
In many rural areas, old people at home will hold "weddings and funerals" when they die at a very old age. The bowls used for weddings and funerals are said to be "longevity", so some people steal bowls to live longer. Funeral bowls are also used to ward off evil spirits.
3, the bowl is broken, not only broken but also safe.
Many people know that if the bowl for eating at home is accidentally broken, they will say "broken, safe" and then throw away the broken bowl. In fact, the correct way to throw a bowl should be to wrap it in red cloth or paper before throwing it.
