There is no one at home, so what's the importance of putting a pair of chopsticks?

During the Spring Festival, relatives get together and put a pair of chopsticks and a bowl away. Until then, people will still die. In that case, they should all be outdated people. Because people who are generally alive don't care so much about what they say. If they don't come because of something, they don't have to be so manipulative. Generally speaking, when the whole family is reunited, only one person dies and a pair of bowls and chopsticks are placed. In this case, most of them are dead talents, so let them go.
