Wuchang joke

In fact, it is easy to understand literally. Father and son are not at the same table? In ancient times, it can be said that it was polite. As the head of the family, the father was very authoritative. If the son and father sit at the same table, there is no doubt that there is no respect, so you can't; And then what? Do uncles drink differently? The most important thing is that uncles can't drink with nephews, because drinking will undoubtedly make a fool of themselves, so in this case, uncles have no dignity in front of nephews, so their image is also very important.

We all know that ancient society was often very particular about rules, especially under the influence of Confucianism. It can be said that the status, the three cardinal guides and the five permanent members are clearly defined. Why is there such a statement? Father and son don't sit at the same table, and uncles drink differently? The main reason is that fathers and sons can't sit at the same table and uncles can't drink, but it's useless now, because with the progress of society, people won't be bound by these rules and regulations, but in ancient times, as a feudal society, from a big country to a small family, it was basically necessary to pay attention to rules, and in the family, the father, as the head of the family, was authoritative, equivalent to the ancient king and courtiers.

It can be said that etiquette was highly valued in ancient times, but it is often more casual in today's society. However, there are still many young people who are unwilling to sit with their fathers. This is related to the generation gap. Because as two generations, father and son have different views on the world, so the topics to be exchanged are naturally different, so there is basically nothing to say when sitting together, so as not to cause embarrassment.

Do uncles drink differently? In fact, the most important thing is to let uncle's nephew have dignity as an elder, because we all know that if people are drunk, they will inevitably talk nonsense. It can be said that it is difficult to grasp the discretion of speaking, so it is inevitable to lose dignity in front of my nephew and make others laugh. That's why they say that drinking between uncles and nephews is not allowed.
