Don't knock on the plate to play. The ghost has no relatives to eat!

Part 5: Do not knock on rice dishes...Call ghosts, no relatives, or what exactly? 🍽️👻

"Don't knock on the plate, son. There will be no relatives to eat!" 🥄✨

This sentence took many children (including us at the time) to put the spoon almost in time for fear of an uninvited guest sitting at the table.

But overlooking deuce, this is one of the most abusive teaching of etiquette and hygiene.

🔍 Czech answer with science:

1️⃣ Hygiene and contaminants 🦠

Knocking hard on a dish, especially a tiled dish or a glazed dish in the old days, risks "chipping" or "cracking." Small glazed debris that comes off can contaminate the food, which, if we eat, can harm the gastrointestinal tract.

2️⃣ Social Etiquette 🤫

The sound of knocking on a plate is annoying and disturbing to concentrate on the food of others. The ancients used ghosts to discipline children and have good manners on the table to grow up into adults with good personality.

3️⃣ Kitchenware Safety 🥣

In the past, bowl dishes were not as easy and cheap to buy as they are today. Teaching not to knock dishes is to train children to treat supplies, not to break them prematurely.

4️⃣ The psychology of diet. 🧠

Knocking on a plate often represents an "impatient" or rush, which will affect the chewing of insensitive food and the digestive system working harder. A ban on knocking is a reminder to eat calmly and gradually.

✨ Summary:

Ancient people, you are not afraid of ghosts taking rice, but you are teaching us to be "mannered" and "known to keep clean," including the preservation of household goods.
