Divine Lucky Star

"Yin-yang gossip," Chrissy pointed her lips, and said with a smile, "I can't trouble myself with this question. There are Ming gossip in "Book of Changes": Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui; There are also secret gossip: Hugh, Health, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Shock, and Kai.” After she finished speaking, she said triumphantly, “Am I right?”

Fuck, this little girl can even say this? !

Both Zhao Zhenhao and Fang Wenbin were dumbfounded, such an opponent is not easy to challenge! This Nima is too difficult, right?

In WeChat——

Zhao Zhenhao: "Fuck, this is troublesome!" Zhao Zhenhao, who has always been a gentleman, burst into foul language...

Fang Wenbin: "This time it's going to be a big mess! This chick can even answer this!"

Bai Ya Ning: "Quickly check the information and find a way to help!"

The three of them began to search for information, but before they finished, Wang Hao smiled and said, "Miss Chris is indeed very knowledgeable. Since Miss Chris knows about yin and yang gossip, let me explain It’s much simpler.” When Wang Hao said this, he suddenly asked: “By the way, Miss Chris, what would you say if you want chopsticks for dinner at the restaurant?”

The three of Zhao Zhenhao looked at each other, brother Hao really knew?

But what about the question he asked later?

A group of people at the dinner table looked at Wang Hao, and then at Chrissy. The little girl didn't understand what Wang Hao meant. She thought about it carefully this time and said, "I will say: Take two chopsticks!"

"Okay," Wang Hao nodded with a smile. He didn't answer what the question meant. He just said with a smile, "Our heavenly kingdom has a history of five thousand years. In fact, chopsticks are only a small piece of cultural heritage." Praise his own country, and then said: "Now I will tell you what are real Chinese chopsticks!"

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, gestured twice, and said with a smile: "In fact, the chopsticks in this kind of restaurant are relatively rough and barely usable, but they are not the authentic heavenly chopsticks handed down by our ancestors. First of all , Chopsticks are round at one end and square at the other end. The circle symbolizes the sky, and the square symbolizes the earth, which corresponds to the round sky and the earth; this is our ancient heavenly people’s understanding of the basic principles of the world. Have you heard of the round sky and the earth?”

"Well, I know," Chris nodded: "Please continue."

"It's really much easier to talk to people who understand," Wang Hao said with a smile: "When we hold chopsticks, the thumb and index finger are on the top, the ring finger and the little finger are on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle. This is the image of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. Understand the relationship with the world. Then, we heavenly people abide by the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin Yang. Tai Chi is one, Yin Yang is two; one is divided into two, which means that everything is composed of two opposites; two become one; This combination of yin and yang also means a perfect result. So when we call the waiter to take chopsticks in the restaurant, we usually say to take a pair. Many foreigners don’t understand this allusion, so they say to take two.”

Everyone let out a groan, and looked at Chris together!

It turns out that the answer to the question Brother Hao asked before is here!

Zhao Zhenhao and Fang Wenbin winked at each other——

Haha, this face is slapped, oh, the little girl is blushing, poor girl, what's the use of knowing more about our heavenly culture if you challenge our Brother Hao? This is called knowing what it is but not knowing why it is!

"It's that simple?" Chris pouted and said, "That doesn't seem to be a problem..."

"I haven't finished talking yet," Wang Hao shook his head with a smile, and said, "Miss Chris also said before that there are Ming gossip in "Book of Changes": Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui; dark gossip: Hugh, Health, Injury, Du, King, Death, Surprise, Kai. Two chopsticks are two, corresponding to the eight trigrams is the "Dui" hexagram, which means "mouth". The chopsticks themselves are straight, Long corresponds to the hexagram 'Xun' in the gossip, which means 'entering'. Together it is called 'mouth entering', isn't this just eating?"

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Fuck, this is okay? ! A pair of chopsticks can actually touch the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams? !

Chris's big blue eyes widened, and she stared at Wang Hao in disbelief—he just asked me if I knew what the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams meant?

"When using chopsticks, one is the active one and the other is the passive one; the active one is yang and the passive one is yin. This is the image of two appearances." Wang Hao obviously didn't finish his sentence, and said: "The standard length of chopsticks is It is seven inches and six cents, which means that human beings have the seven emotions and six desires, to show that they are fundamentally different from animals." When he said this, he held up the chopsticks of the restaurant and said with a smile: "That's why I said that the chopsticks here are not actually the standard paradise. Chopsticks, of course, the restaurant has a lot of customers, so many such small details are difficult to take care of, which is understandable."

Fuck, brother Hao can give full marks for this wave of forceful pretending!

Chris was dumbfounded by what she said, Nima! Before, she could be said to be invincible. Zhao Zhenhao invited several masters of ancient literature, but she killed them all. Today, she is going to be crushed, oh my god!

Chris was quite dumbfounded: "It turns out that there are so many specialties about chopsticks..."

"This is actually only a small part." Obviously, Wang Hao hadn't finished his addiction yet, so he began to speak eloquently: "We heavenly people have twelve taboos when using chopsticks."

"The first one is to put chopsticks with uneven lengths on the table before or during the meal. This practice is very unlucky. Usually we call it three long and two short, which means death."

Chris's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked anxiously, "Why?"

Everyone also looked curious - using chopsticks can have something to do with death?

"People in our kingdom of heaven are put into coffins after they die," Wang Hao explained to everyone: "After people are put in, before the coffin lid is put on, the components of the coffin are two short wooden boards at the front and back. There are three long wooden boards at the bottom, and the coffin made of five wooden boards happens to be three long and two short, so this is extremely unlucky."

Everyone gasped—is that okay? !

"The second way is for the immortal to guide the way," Wang Hao continued to explain to everyone: "This method of holding chopsticks is to hold the chopsticks with the thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and extend the index finger. This method is also extremely unacceptable. It is accepted by people. Because when you eat, you stick out your index finger and keep pointing at others. This is the same as swearing. There is another situation that also means this. Very rude."

"The third type is knocking on the cup. This behavior is regarded as a beggar begging for food. Its method is to hit the plate and bowl with chopsticks when eating. Because in the past, only beggars used chopsticks to hit the beggar bowl. regarded as an extremely despicable thing."

"The fourth is called Pinchao Liusheng. Its method is to hold one end of the chopsticks in your mouth, and use your mouth to suck it back and forth, and make a hissing sound from time to time. This behavior is regarded as a lowly practice and will cause Considered a lack of tutoring."

"The fifth type is patrolling the city with chopsticks. Holding the chopsticks in your hand, you are patrolling the dishes on the table. This kind of behavior is a typical manifestation of lack of cultivation, and the arrogance is extremely offensive."

"The sixth type is digging graves with chopsticks. It's annoying to keep picking chopsticks on the dish."

"The seventh kind of tears left behind."

"The eighth type turns things upside down."

"The Ninth Dinghaishen Needle."

"The tenth cross."

"The eleventh kind of burning incense in public, such as inserting a pair of chopsticks into the rice for convenience and trouble when leaving, will be regarded as disrespectful, as if offering incense to a dead person, and it is absolutely unacceptable."

"The twelfth kind of shock on the ground means that it is very impolite to drop the chopsticks on the ground by mistake. Because the ancestors sleep in the ground and should not be disturbed, the chopsticks falling to the ground is equivalent to alarming the ancestors in the ground. It is unfilial, so this kind of behavior is not allowed. But this rule is relatively loose now, not as serious as it was in ancient times."

After Wang Hao said these words, everyone in the audience was stunned!

Who would have thought that a pair of chopsticks would have so many specialties! Not only the origin of chopsticks is particular, but also the method of use!

Chris was completely dumbfounded by Wang Hao! She had actually found some information about chopsticks before, but at most she could talk about the circle of the sky, the polarity of yin and yang, etc. Who would have thought that Wang Hao in front of her could say so much? !
