Why did ancient soldiers break bowls after drinking before going out to war?

Zhuanghang Liquor originated at the end of the Warring States Period, and Qin swept Liuhe, killing 400,000 troops of Zhao in the battle of Changping. After World War I, Zhao declined gradually and was close to extinction. Zhao is between Qin and Yan. After Zhao perished, it was Yan's turn to destroy the country. As the saying goes, the famous Jing Ke in history stabbed the king of Qin. "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever!" Jing Ke went to Xiao, and the prince came to do heroic deeds. Jing Ke took the wine in the hands of the prince, gulped it down, and then threw the bowl on the ground, indicating that there was no return to this trip, or he would die if he didn't succeed. Its strong man broke his wrist, tragic and desolate beyond words.

Later, drinking and throwing bowls were widely handed down, usually before soldiers went out to war or before some large-scale uprisings. As the saying goes, wine scares people. Ordinary people are still like this, and the heroic wine before the war is even more deadly.

Bowl is not only a tool for drinking, but also a tool for eating. The implication is that the bowls here will not be used in the future. This operation will burn our bridges. The last battle was an action that put his life in danger. Success or death represents the determination to win. And the strong man broke his wrist, and the military order has the same effect. Moreover, the collective bowl throwing is very heroic, which can produce a momentum and stimulate people's desire to win, thus improving combat effectiveness.

Moreover, people often say that cross the rubicon means cross the rubicon, which means peace all the year round, sand and dust on the border, and water and cold knives. In ancient times, there was a poem saying, "A glass of turbid wine is Wan Li's home, and Ran Yan never forgets things." As the saying goes, "How many people have argued since ancient times", breaking the bowl is also an expectation of the safe return of the border guards.
