What does it mean to give someone a bowl?

Bowls can't be given casually. Putting aside Feng Shui, it means giving people a "rice bowl".

then, if you want to send one bowl, you can't send one unless you send a gold bowl or a silver bowl. If you want to send a ceramic bowl, it usually reaches a certain number, for example, eight bowls, which means "sending". In addition, spoons and chopsticks should be provided, which is basically a gift package.

according to the material of the bowl, the best one for others is the bone China bowl, which is transparent under the light and suitable for giving to superiors or customers. There is also a glazed bowl, which is more expensive than bone China because of the complicated glazing process, and is suitable for distinguished guests. Here is a simple gift, only paying attention to human feelings, not paying attention to Feng Shui and others.

In geomantic omen, you can't give away unused bowls, unless they are longevity bowls, you can give them away. If it is between relatives and friends, then this old bowl can be given away. The bowl given to relatives and friends here does not mean the end, but the continuation.

As a daily necessity for people, the origin of bowls can't be verified at present, but they can be traced back to clay pottery bowls in Neolithic Age, and their shapes are not much different from today's, that is, the mouth is big and the bottom is small, the mouth is wide and the bottom is narrow. There are bowl feet under it, and the height is generally half of the diameter of the mouth edge, mostly round and rarely square. What is constantly changing is only the material, technological level and decorative means. The general purpose is to hold food. Most people in China like to use bowls as eating tools, while westerners prefer to use plates. Bowl, can take the homophonic word "Wan", which means to retain, and can be used as a hand-holding gift, with a good symbolic meaning.
