    In addition to China, Japan and South Korea all eat with chopsticks, but we are still different from them, Chinese have a special habit, that is, they like to eat with rice bowls.

    South Koreans, however, see this as unruly. If you are a guest of a Korean family or a Korean guest is present, out of respect, you should remember that the rice bowl on the table cannot be held by hand, why is that?

    However, in South Korea, it is often believed that only displaced beggars eat with bowls, so those who eat with bowls are unlucky. In addition, in Korean food culture, it is very impolite to eat with a bowl in front of your elders.

    In addition to cultural reasons, this phenomenon is also related to Korean food habits!

    Secondly, they are used to eating with a spoon. We can also see in various Korean TV dramas that the role of spoons in Korea is to spoon rice, not just to drink soup like us.

    If you look closely at Korean rice bowls, you can find that unlike Chinese porcelain bowls, Korean bowls are made of stainless steel, so they will be very hot after serving hot rice, and the bottom of Korean rice bowls is very sleek, and there is no base that can be held by hand at all. As for the question of why South Korea uses this kind of rice bowl, we explained it in the previous push!

    Ponder carefully. Koreans don't eat with bowls because of this!

    In addition to the above reasons, there is also an objective reason. Have you ever looked at Korean tableware? The bowls used for bibimbap, miso soup, etc., are bottomless stone pots, so the heat of the rice and soup is quickly transmitted, and the size is so large that it is impossible to hold with your hands at all.

    Koreans also like to use stainless steel bowls to serve rice, so it will be very hot after serving hot food, and the base of the rice bowl is rounded, which is completely unpractical to serve. Seeing this, you must be able to understand the reason why Koreans don't eat with bowls! If you have the opportunity to go to Korea, you should remember it

    Every country's culture is different! Personally, I think it is better for Koreans not to eat with their rice bowls, Chinese people are used to walking around with rice bowls, after the disappearance of the domestic aristocracy, only the common culture remains, and Britain is only known as the "country of gentlemen", mainly because the aristocracy has never been completely defeated, so the aristocratic culture is carried forward.

    Koreans consider it rude to eat with a bowl, especially in front of their elders, because Koreans believe that only wandering beggars will carry a bowl to eat, so eating with a bowl can make people unlucky.

    In addition, this is also related to the food eaten by Koreans, Koreans like to eat some very hot food, such as all kinds of soup, so it is difficult to eat with a bowl, and Koreans generally use stainless steel bowls, the bottom of the bowl is still smooth, after loading hot food, it is very hot, and it is not easy to hold it with your hands, so it is generally put on the table to eat.

    There are differences in table manners between China, Japan and South Korea.

    In China and Japan, you have to serve a bowl when you eat, otherwise it will be unruly.

    Koreans think that eating and serving bowls is like a beggar.

    Chinese and Japanese people believe that eating without a bowl is like pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry and animals eating.

    Because animals don't need to serve bowls when they eat, as long as they have mouths.

    Also as a vassal kingdom of ancient China, Korea was also influenced by many Chinese ritualsUnder the influence of the ancient Central Plains culture, South Korea also has its own unique eating habits, that is, when they eat, they have a lot of exquisiteness, which can be said to be more troublesome than ancient China, that is, when eating, your hands can't pick up the bowl to eat.

    In fact, in my opinion, the reason why South Korea has such a regulationIn addition to the influence of etiquette culture, the other is the safety factor, because some children he pick up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, he is easy to hurt himself, maybe because the rice is too hot to cause these bowls to fall to the ground, so for this safety consideration, Korean parents have taught their children from an early age that they cannot eat with dishes and chopsticks, and this habit has not been changed until they reach adulthood.

    Because in the Korean concept, "Why do you hold on to the bowl when you eat and no one grabs it?" Are you worried that others will take your food? "Therefore, you must put the bowl on the table and eat it bite by bite with a spoon, and then the other hand must be obedient, and since you do not serve the bowl, you will honestly hide it under the table.
