Etiquette of using chopsticks

Chopsticks in China are very particular. Chopsticks, also known as chopsticks, were made of ivory as far back as Shang Dynasty. Historical Records? It is recorded in Song Weizi Family that "the beginning is like a hairpin". Making chopsticks with ivory is a sign of wealth. Chopsticks are made of different materials, such as gold chopsticks, silver chopsticks and ivory chopsticks, bone chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks in general, and now plastic chopsticks. Chopsticks in Hunan are the longest, some about two feet long; Japanese chopsticks are short and sharp, which is due to eating fish fillets and other flaky foods. Chopsticks were introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty, and now it is the country that produces and uses the most chopsticks in the world, with an average annual output of 13 billion pairs of chopsticks, 91% of which are cut only once. The Japanese also designated the fourth day of August every year as "Chopsticks Festival", and paid attention to "avoiding eight chopsticks" when using chopsticks.

China's use of chopsticks is a scientific invention worthy of pride and admiration in the history of human civilization. When Li Zhengdao demonstrated that the Chinese nation is an excellent race, he said, "China people invented chopsticks as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Such simple two things, but the lever principle in physics is applied wonderfully. Chopsticks are an extension of human fingers. They can do everything that fingers can do, and they are not afraid of high heat and cold. It is really brilliant.

In comparison, westerners didn't invent knives and forks until the 6th and 7th centuries, but how can knives and forks compare with chopsticks? " Japanese scholars have determined that when people hold food with chopsticks, there are more than 81 joints and 51 muscles moving, which are related to the cranial nerves. Therefore, eating with chopsticks makes people handy and can train their brains to be flexible. Foreigners admire these two magical sticks for their functions of clamping, picking, scooping and pouting, and are glad that they can eat with them.

In the long-term practice, people have also formed some etiquette taboos about using chopsticks:

First, avoid knocking chopsticks. That is, when waiting for a meal, you can't sit at the edge of the meal, tap with a chopstick in one hand, or tap a bowl lamp or a teacup with chopsticks.

second, don't throw chopsticks. When handing out chopsticks before meals, put them in pairs and then gently put them in front of everyone's table; When it is far away, you can ask someone to pass it over, and you can't throw it on the table.

three taboos for fork chopsticks. Chopsticks should not be placed horizontally and vertically, one with a big head and the other with a small head. Chopsticks should be placed next to the bowl, not on the bowl.

four no's. When you need to leave temporarily during the meal, put chopsticks gently on the table or beside the plate, and don't insert them in the rice bowl.

five taboos about waving chopsticks. When picking vegetables, don't swing chopsticks around in the dish plate and turn them upside down. When others come to pick vegetables, avoid them

intentionally, and beware of "chopsticks fighting".

six taboos for dancing chopsticks. When talking, don't use chopsticks as knives and dance around the table; Don't poke chopsticks in front of others when you invite them to eat. It's impolite to do so.

The ceremony at the dining table in China is as follows:

1. Etiquette of taking a seat. First, ask the guests to take a seat. When asking the elderly to take a seat next to the guests, enter from the left side of the chair. After taking a seat, don't move chopsticks. Don't make any noise. Don't get up and walk. If you have anything to say hello to the host.

Second, When eating, please invite guests first. Keep moving chopsticks. Eat less food each time. Eat less food that is far away from you. Don't make any noise when eating.

Don't blow and drink it at the same time. Some people like to chew food when eating, especially crunchy food. Make a clear sound. This is against the etiquette requirements. Especially when eating with people, we should try our best to prevent this phenomenon.

Third, don't burp and make other noises when eating. If there are involuntary noises such as sneezing and bowel sounds, we should say "I'm sorry". Sorry; "Please let the original cool". To apologize.

Fourth; If you want to serve food to guests or elders, you'd better use public chopsticks. You can also send dishes far away from guests or elders to them. According to the custom of the Chinese nation, the dishes are served one by one. If there are leaders, elderly people and guests at the same table, please ask them to move chopsticks first whenever a new dish is served, or ask them to move chopsticks first in turn to show their attention.

Fifth, eat fish heads and fish. Don't throw it on the floor either. Take it to your plate slowly by hand, or put it next to your dining table or on the paper prepared in advance.
