Do not break only one chopstick; both should be broken. If you break only one, it becomes an odd number, disrupting the balance of pairs, causing imbalance. In feng shui, this is considered an omen of bad things to come, such as problems with health or family members, and one should be cautious and careful in their actions.
In traditional Chinese culture, chopsticks are special tools that not only represent appetite and civilization but also reflect people's etiquette habits. When using chopsticks during meals, there are many rules and taboos to follow. Breaking chopsticks is one of these taboos. Some people believe that breaking chopsticks can cut the family bond and bring misfortune and unhappiness.
What does it mean when a chopstick breaks?
If one chopstick breaks, it may indicate a problem with the health of family members. Chopsticks are meant to be used in pairs, and one chopstick cannot function alone. If one breaks, it might indicate that the health of family members or oneself will soon become problematic, or there may be issues with illness, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
【How to Break the Curse】
When a chopstick breaks, it must be resolved on the same day to eliminate the bad luck. Breaking a chopstick is a very unlucky event. You can fix the broken chopstick by joining the broken part with a wooden piece on one side, and then tightly attaching the other side to one of the remaining good chopsticks. Then wrap it with a white cloth strip, making sure not to tie a tight knot, and take it to a three-way intersection to burn it. It is best to bring some paper money along, and in the next two months, be more cautious.
