In the past, despite facing a life of hardship and poverty, our ancestors had a saying about certain foods that, even if they fell right in front of you, you wouldn't eat. One such example was the phenomenon of "chim sa cá nhảy", which translates to "falling birds and jumping fish". This saying refers to a practice where people would not catch birds that flew into their homes or keep fish that jumped onto the shore or into their yards.
