Taboo 1

Hold the bowl in your hand, don't put it under the table. If you don't help the bowl, you will be poor all your life, shaking your legs and shrugging your shoulders for three generations.

Taboo II

The bowl should be put on, not eaten on the table. It's important to eat with your mouth, and animals eat with their mouths.

Ten Taboos on the Dining Table in China

Taboo III

You can't talk when you have food in your mouth. You don't talk if you don't talk.

Taboo 4

When a family eats, the elders don't move chopsticks, the younger generation can't move, and the order can't be chaotic.

Taboo five

Hold your own half of the dish, and don't cross the center line of the bowl. Rummaging through folders is a taboo of Chinese food etiquette.

Taboo six

Chopsticks don't fit into the rice. It is disrespectful to burn incense in public.

Taboo seven

You can't knock on the bowl with chopsticks. Beggars only jingle when they beg.

Taboo eight

Dinner can't just be served with three courses, but only with three tributes.

Taboo nine

After sitting, you can't change seats casually. Beggars run around with bowls.

Taboo ten

You can't lick your mouth when you eat, or suck when you drink soup. Sitting is sitting, eating is eating.
