藏民族有一个不成文的规矩，木碗要随身携带，人在哪，碗在哪。这是源于藏民族不共碗的分餐礼仪，在过去，人们只要出门，怀里就要揣一只木碗。
The Tibetan people have an unwritten rule: they always carry their wooden bowls with them wherever they go. This tradition stems from their communal dining etiquette, which dictates that bowls should not be shared. In the past, people would always carry a wooden bowl in their arms when they left home.
制作一只纯手工的藏式木碗往往需要一到两个月的时间。一只合格的木碗，盛开水不裂，摔到地上不破，不烫手、不冰手，体轻质固。对于珍爱的木碗，人们还会在底部镶嵌金边或银边。
Crafting a purely handmade Tibetan wooden bowl usually takes one to two months. A qualified wooden bowl should not crack when holding boiling water, should not break when dropped, should not burn the hands, nor feel too cold, and should be lightweight yet sturdy. For their cherished wooden bowls, people often inlay the bottom with gold or silver edges.
“一人一碗，一碗一生”。木碗在藏民族的心中不只是简单的物件，更像是爱人，一生只拥有一个，形影不离，并陪伴自己走向生命的终点。
"One person, one bowl; one bowl for a lifetime". In the hearts of the Tibetan people, a wooden bowl is more than just a simple object. It is akin to a beloved companion, something they own only one of, which stays with them throughout their life and accompanies them to the end.
