What do you say when you see a dead person on a business trip?

This article is about some old customs and taboos of Linyi people, and I know a few. Next, please look at them.

First, travel taboos

In the old society, Linyi people left home to travel abroad. The first thing to do is to choose a good day and a good day. Most people choose 369 to go out, as the saying goes, "Keep it, 369". Linyi people used to "go east" and return to the northeast after the Chinese New Year. They all chose the third, sixth and ninth days. Up to now, most people choose not to be at home these days.

Ancient people believed in "seven don't go out, eight don't go home". Generally speaking, I don't leave on July, and I'd rather postpone it than leave on this day. On the eighth day, I'd rather stay on the trip for a day or two than rush home from outside. 13 was forbidden to leave the city, probably because "13" and "lost" are homophonic. Don't go out on Mafia Day. The 5th, 15th and 25th of every month is Mafia Day, so you can't travel far, let alone stay outside.

For example, in the past, when people traveled, they would choose an auspicious day to start. When they leave, if something bad happens suddenly, such as children falling and crying, accidentally breaking cups and other utensils, they think it is unlucky to go out on this day and usually change the date. When you go to the market or do business, if you meet a mourner or a coffin bearer, it means a good sign. If you want to get rich, do things smoothly. On the contrary, meet rabbits, snakes, etc. It means unlucky, broke money, made a trip for nothing, and so on.

Linyi people still have some taboos, such as visiting relatives or visiting friends' homes, not sitting in front of their homes, or standing outside with one foot inside, so that the host family will be unhappy. Another example is "lose money if you don't show your white face when you go out" (showing your white face means showing your wealth), warning people not to trust others too much on the trip, not to expose the money they bring, and to prevent bad people from killing people for money.

Second, dietary taboos

It is forbidden for Linyi people to knock on bowls with chopsticks when eating, because in the old society, beggars only knock like this when begging. "Knocking on vegetables and bowls makes them roll their eyes with hunger." Don't buckle the bowl on the table, because sick people are used to buckle the bowl on the table after drinking soup. Don't put chopsticks directly in a bowl full of rice, because you will only do so when you respect God. When serving, it is forbidden to turn the spoon out. Give soup to the dead, and the spoon will turn out.

Children avoid eating eggs and fish eggs, thinking that they are illiterate, inflexible and not smart. In some places, children are forbidden to eat chicken feet, thinking that they can't study hard after eating them. Writing is like eating chicken feet. Unmarried young men and women can't eat chicken heads, thinking that eating chicken heads is easy to rain when they get married. A pear can't be eaten separately by two people. Eating pears separately is separation.

In some places in the past,
