Good insights into some Chinese tradition & ceremony. China has a very Long history, & its philosophers/wise ancient sages Like Confucius, Lao Tzu et al continue to be highly respected. So too are the brilliant warrior generals like Sun Tzu (500BC) whose “Art of War” is still studied in Asian & Western Military Academies. Respect for tradition makes a nation and its people cultured & great.

Forgiveable outside of China or a major city where unleavened bread is hard to get. Inside of China, that's a crime.
