In the countryside, if the husband goes out, why does the wife put an empty bowl at the gate?

Nowadays, many young people in rural areas do not understand the purpose of putting bowls at the door after men go out, and just follow the instructions of the old man. So why does a woman put an empty bowl at the gate when her husband goes out?

In the past, no matter how big or small things in the family were decided after the two of them discussed together, but in the past, this was not the case, no matter what happened in the family, the man had the final say, so the woman only had to take care of the elderly and children in the family, as long as the decision was made by a man. When a man goes out and a woman is alone at home, and there is no one in charge at home, the woman puts the empty bowl at the door, which means that her man is about to go home, and the woman can make the decision for the man first.

Speaking of the man who went out to Yutuxiang, the woman put the bowl at the gate, I remember that when I was a child, I often saw it in the village, and I thought it was the bowl of this house that was broken, and put it at the door and waited for the garbage to be thrown away. A few years ago, my father went out to work, and my grandmother asked my mother to put an empty bowl at the gate of my house, and when I came back from school, I saw that the empty bowl at the gate looked very clean, so I took it home. Later, after listening to my grandmother's explanation, I understood the purpose of putting an empty bowl at the door.

Nowadays, whether in the countryside or in the city, the status of men and women is equal, and there is no custom that men and women should put a bowl at the door when they go out. However, many elderly people feel that this is a sign of women's respect for men, so there is still a phenomenon of women putting empty bowls at home after men go out.

This custom is no longer seen in many rural areas, but I used to hear my grandfather say that there was indeed such a custom in their time. At that time, people were still hungry, and being able to fill their stomachs was the first goal for everyone. At that time, rural areas were generally poor, and many people would choose to go out to work when they had no work at homeIf the husband has a craft or can do a little business and business, then the family life will be better.

At that time, many people thought that if the wife placed a bowl in front of her house, then she would pray that her husband would earn more money and have a smooth career when he was away, and when he returned, the husband would be able to change the life of this poor family through his efforts. And the bowl here refers to the meaning of rice bowl and grain. I remember when I was a child, whenever I took back the corn that I had dried at home, grandpa will always pick up the grain that fell on the ground one by one with his handsand put it in a bowl that you usually eat.

Through this practice, it tells us to always maintain the good habit of thrift and thrift, and not to waste every hard-won grain.

In the past, there were some people in the countryside who were forced to go out all the year round due to the pressure of life, they often wandered in other rural places, and some people because they could make baskets and dustpans, and these things were very practical at that time, farmers usually needed to use baskets to pick rice to go home, and the heavy rice in the harvest season also made the farmers happy. In addition, in the past, it was common to see people in the countryside carrying sanqima (a kind of candy) to the village to sell. In short, more than ten years ago, many hawkers, handsArtists provide more services to the villagers by walking around the villages, and at the same time they are also paid.

For these families where their husbands often go out, their wives want to pray for their husbands to be smooth and smooth away from home by placing their rice bowls at the door, and that there will be no accidents and accidents. It is necessary to keep food rations and not "break the rice bowl". These customs were more popular in the past, but with the development of life, now this custom has gradually disappeared, in fact, the meaning of putting a bowl at the door,People from different families don't necessarily want to express the same thing

It's just a past custom and doesn't have much reference value and significance.

At that time, many people thought that if their wives placed a bowl in front of their house, they would pray that their husbands would earn more money and have a smooth career.

Putting an empty bowl at the door means that the man can return safely, which plays a beautiful symbolic meaning, and it is also a beautiful expectation for his other half.

There used to be a woman in our village, her own surname was Lu, but she didn't have a name, and her husband's surname was Zhang, so everyone called her Zhang Lu. This grandmother was a famous birthday star here when she was in the nineties, because she was almost 100 years old at that time, and the grandmother was still a small-footed woman, which was really the kind of three-inch golden lotus. In 92, my grandmother's wife was seriously ill, because her children were more promising, especially her youngest son was still working in Beijing.

So the children took the old lady to Beijing, leaving the old lady alone at home. After the old lady left, the old grandmother put a big bowl at the gate of her house, and it was empty. Because in the past, everyone lived together in the countryside, and it was easy to attract many onlookers if there was any disturbance.

At that time, we didn't know why the grandmother put a bowl at the door, so someone asked, why did the grandmother put this bowl?

The grandmother said that this is a long-standing tradition, because in the past, men were the pillars of the family. Generally speaking, women eat until the men come home from their work. In general, putting an empty bowl is to allow the husband who is out to return safely, and it also means that the man he is in the family is coming back, which is just a beautiful symbolic meaning, which is very often seen in rural areas, and it is also very understandable.

There is no such custom, it is estimated that the chanting is forgotten to put away. Don't talk about dross culture.

The bowl means the rice bowl, and it is used to pray for the husband to earn more outside.

This is a blessing from the wife at home to her outgoing husband, and it is a superstitious practice.

It means that Lao Wang, you can rest assured, there is no water in the bowl at all.

The person who saw a bowl at the door could go and spend the night
