Notes on Chopsticks: Chopsticks, called chopsticks in ancient times, are usually made of bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials. Chopsticks are one of the symbols of China's food culture and one of the commonly used tableware in the world. They were invented in China and later spread to Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and other cultural circles in China. Men's chopsticks also originated in China. Both eating together and using public chopsticks have a long history in China.

People in China are used to using chopsticks, while people in Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia and the Indian subcontinent grasp them with their fingers. The earliest chopsticks discovered by China were copper chopsticks unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang City, Henan Province. "Everything is done wrong, Yu Lao" said: "The former is an elephant, while Ji Zi is terrible." Zhou Wang was the monarch at the end of Shang Dynasty, which shows that ivory chopsticks appeared in China more than 3000 years ago.

The meaning of chopsticks: a slender stick for holding food or other things with fingers, which can be made of bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials, with different shapes or squares or circles, and is often used as tableware.

Brief introduction of chopsticks:

In China, chopsticks are not only used for eating, but also widely used in folk customs such as weddings, funerals and celebrations. The shape of China chopsticks is almost cuboid or cylinder, or the head is round and the tail is square (coincident with the "circle"). Only the head and tail are slightly thinner, and pointed chopsticks are also very popular. Because bamboo grows rapidly and widely, the utilization rate of bamboo chopsticks is high, and chopsticks made of traditional precious materials such as mahogany and ivory are also very useful.

Chopsticks delivery etiquette:

Chopsticks are the most important tableware for East Asians and are often used in some parts of Southeast Asia. The posture of holding chopsticks should be standardized. When you need other tableware, you should put down your chopsticks first. You should not insert chopsticks into a bowl of rice or rice. You can't put chopsticks in the bowl if you have to leave temporarily. You should put them gently on the chopstick rack. This is the method of placing ancestral offerings, see the foot-tail rice (referring to the action of inserting incense into the sacred furnace when offering sacrifices to the gods, which is generally not done during worship, so please correct me); Chopsticks must be placed on the chopstick rack, not on cups or plates, otherwise they will be easily knocked off. If you accidentally drop your chopsticks, please ask the waiter to change a pair.
