In the history of more than 5,111 years, China has produced countless cultural histories, both traditional customs and some things in daily life, which have a very old history.
In the life of China people, chopsticks, an ancient thing, are the most common. Chopsticks have been in China for more than 3,111 years.
From ancient ivory chopsticks to bronze chopsticks, and now to the most common wooden chopsticks, this food tool has bred hundreds of millions of people. The birth of chopsticks also marks the wisdom of ancient civilization in China, and everyone in China is proud of using chopsticks.
Every holiday, the family will start to change the chopsticks. After all, wooden chopsticks have a short service life.
There are different opinions about wooden chopsticks, and there are some disadvantages?
With the fast pace of modern people's life, disposable chopsticks do not know when it began to appear.
It's true that disposable chopsticks provide great convenience to everyone in our daily life. Whether it's a barbecue stall or a takeaway, you will see disposable chopsticks.
As chopsticks that are used once and thrown away, it causes huge waste of resources every year. In addition, the recovery rate of disposable chopsticks is low, and it is basically impossible to recycle them. Because of this, many trees are wasted.
But there are many inconveniences when you don't use wooden chopsticks, especially metal chopsticks.
As we all know, metal chopsticks are easy to slide down when holding vegetables, and metal materials are easy to conduct heat, so they always feel hot when eating hot food, such as hot pot. Of course, metal chopsticks have a good advantage when eating barbecue.
are the British media "fussing"? It is considered that China wastes resources by using chopsticks, and it is suggested to use a knife and fork instead.
According to a short article in the British "Media Telegraph", China people should ban chopsticks and use a knife and fork instead.
In fact, this statement has been vomited by many people, because no matter what kind of chopsticks are deeply rooted in people's hearts, it doesn't mean that change can change. Besides, it makes people angry that we should abandon tradition and adopt western-style knives and forks.
what will happen if people really use knives and forks when eating?
Maybe when you eat hot pot, you are rummaging around with a knife and fork. When eating freshwater fish, you can't use a knife and fork to pick holes; Holding a knife and fork and messing around in a dish ...
However, in this article, Britain also lists the waste of resources and environmental pollution caused by making chopsticks one by one, and says that 1.4 billion people in China use chopsticks more than tens of billions once a year, which leads to the continuous felling of trees.
Actually, this will waste resources to a certain extent, but most disposable chopsticks in the market are made of renewable bamboo, which is more resource-saving than metal knives and forks. After all, metal belongs to non-renewable resources.
Are we really going to give up the "chopstick culture"?
In the article, British media also said that China should learn from South Korea and use metal chopsticks. Many netizens said that the British media is really "too caring". China has planted trees in these years and achieved remarkable results in sand control, and is not afraid of these renewable resources.
China has a large population base. Even if a pair of metal chopsticks is about 31 grams, multiplied by 1.4 billion, that means it needs 42 billion grams of metal, that is, 42,111 tons of metal. Isn't this amount of non-renewable resources a waste of resources?
Besides, some spare chopsticks in restaurants and supermarkets, and some lost metal chopsticks have not been counted. Moreover, if China people really use knives and forks, the quality of knives and forks will definitely be three or four times heavier than metal chopsticks.
I think everyone can figure out this account. In order to reduce the use of resources, non-renewable resources are particularly important. Shouldn't the British give up knives and forks and use chopsticks to protect resources? Of course, you don't have to waste tree resources and metal resources, so it's good to suggest that they learn from the Indians.
