Do you know the nine taboos of using chopsticks?

1. Put chopsticks on the table irregularly before or during meals.

It's impolite to beat the plate with chopsticks when eating, which means that you are poor and down and out.

3. It will be boring to keep picking vegetables in the dish with chopsticks in your hand, even far away from you.

4. Hold chopsticks with thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. When you eat, your index finger sticks out and always points at others. This may do harm to interpersonal relationships.

Put a pair of chopsticks in the rice and pass them to each other. According to the traditional custom in China, this will only be done when the deceased is incense. Therefore, if you put chopsticks in your rice, you will undoubtedly treat the other person as a dead person and show extreme disrespect for other people's behavior.

6. It is a serious disrespect to accidentally drop chopsticks on the ground. Because China people think that all ancestors are buried underground and should not be disturbed, it is a big unfilial act to drop chopsticks on the ground.

7. Put chopsticks casually on the table when eating. China people think that crossing the table is a total denial of others at the same table and a disrespect for themselves.

8. Holding chopsticks to insert vegetables into a plate while eating is like holding out your middle finger at people in public, which is a shame for diners at the same table.

9. Just use chopsticks upside down when eating. This practice will be looked down upon. It is said that you are so hungry that your chopsticks will fall off, which means that your family fortune will decline.
