The chopsticks placed in the jar in front of the coffin have a split back.

Today's chopsticks are not only used as a dining tool, but also become a unique cultural form, representing a civilized atmosphere, appearing in front of the world and becoming a work of art integrating research, use, appreciation, gift and collection. In folklore, couples will give each other chopsticks as gifts on Tanabata, and get a good mouth color of "pairs".

Chopsticks should not only be held correctly, but also be used with several absolute taboos.

Taboo 1: three long and two short.

This means putting chopsticks of different lengths on the table before or during meals. This practice is very unlucky. Generally we call it "three long and two short". It means "death". Because people in China used to think that people would be put into coffins when they died, and people would put them in the future, when the coffin lid was not covered, the coffin was made up of two short boards, with three long boards at the bottom of both sides and five boards combined together, which happened to be an accident, so it was extremely unlucky.

Taboo 2: the immortal leads the way

This practice is also extremely intolerable. The way to hold chopsticks is to hold chopsticks with thumb and middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and the index finger is extended. This is called "cursing the street" in the eyes of Beijingers. Because when you eat, your index finger sticks out and always points at others. When Beijingers generally extend their index finger to each other, most of them have the meaning of blame. Therefore, pointing at people while eating with chopsticks is tantamount to accusing others, just like swearing, and you can't promise. Another situation is this meaning, that is, talking to others while eating and pointing at people with chopsticks.
