How to deal with the old and broken bowls at home?
1, don't throw away the old bowl.
Many people will throw away the old or broken bowls used at home, but this is actually not good. The rice bowl symbolizes work and business. If you lose your job, it means losing your job and career. In addition, the bowl also means finished. When the old bowl is thrown away, it also means that throwing it away is over. Therefore, don't throw away the old bowl casually. The best way to deal with it is to use the unused rice bowl waste, which can be used to raise plants or become decorations. If you really want to throw it, you can wrap it in red cloth and throw it in the trash can.
2. The eating bowl is damaged and continues to be used.
Some frugal families in life will continue to use their bowls even if they are broken, but this is actually very bad. Broken bowls mean that your business or work is unstable, your income is not high or even someone is in the way, so be careful with broken bowls. A broken bowl can throw away the old one. Or it can be used in sacrificial cemeteries. In this special case, it is necessary to use a broken bowl instead of a complete good bowl. This is to let the dead know that this bowl will never be used to show their memory.
3. When do you need to break the bowl?
In fact, some special times still need to break the bowl. In the north of China, whenever something goes wrong, a broken bowl is always used to fill the bowl with rice, and then fairy incense is inserted on it and placed in front of the coffin. This is to let the dead know that this bowl will never be used to show their nostalgia.
4. The rice bowl suddenly cracked
Under normal circumstances, the bowl for eating will not crack by itself. If it is self-cracking, it is psychological external reaction and initiative. Maybe bad luck is coming, which means that the dead are coming back to see it, or the dying patient has an ominous sign. Therefore, friends who have elderly people at home must be filial to the elderly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Feng shui taboo between bowls and chopsticks
1. Don't dispose of broken bowls and old bowls at will.
Many families adhere to the principle of economy, and they don't want to throw away broken bowls. Broken bowls imply that the rice bowl is unstable, the income of commonly used broken bowls will rise and fall, and it is easy to meet small people who get in the way in career.
What about broken bowls and useless old bowls?
Throwing the bowl away casually means "unemployment", so don't throw the unused bowl into the trash can at will. When you throw a bowl, you should first wrap the old bowl and broken bowl with red cloth or paper to get rid of the meaning of "throwing a rice bowl".
2. Avoid knocking on the bowl with chopsticks.
In the old society, beggars used chopsticks to knock on rice bowls when begging, and the knocking sound was used to attract pedestrians' attention and give alms. So don't knock on the plate with chopsticks when eating, otherwise it will be considered as extremely despicable behavior.
At the same time, tapping on plates and bowls with chopsticks means "no food to eat", because it is consistent with the begging behavior of beggars in the old society. If you don't want to lose your job and have no food, it violates the taboo of tapping plates and bowls with chopsticks when eating.
3, avoid bowls and avoid palms up.
When holding the bowl, the palm is up, and the posture is like a beggar begging, as if only others are willing to give alms to eat. Therefore, when holding a bowl, it is best not to hold the bowl with both hands, palms up.
4. Avoid leftovers at the bottom of the bowl
It is an extremely wasteful behavior to avoid eating too much and fill as much as you can. Always leaving leftovers at the bottom of the bowl is also a feng shui taboo.
Leftovers at the bottom of the bowl mean "no food and clothing", and wasting food will endanger food and clothing in the future. If you don't want to go without food in the future, you should cherish every grain. Eat less, eat less.
5. Avoid misplacing chopsticks.
In feng shui, the placement of chopsticks is also particular. Don't put chopsticks in disorder before eating, otherwise it will mean anything will happen, so it is extremely unlucky to put chopsticks in disorder; Put two chopsticks on both sides of the bowl, which means "chopsticks are (quickly) scattered", which means family discord and family separation; If chopsticks are inserted directly in the center of the bowl, it means that this bowl of rice is for the dead, because chopsticks will be inserted in the rice when offering sacrifices to the dead.
When putting chopsticks, put them neatly on one side of the bowl. This is the correct way to put chopsticks.
