The origin of chopsticks is as follows:
1, the origin of chopsticks can be traced back to Shang Dynasty, and it is said that it was invented by Dayu. According to historical records, chopsticks were called jiā in the pre-Qin period and Zhu Henian in the Han Dynasty. From the Ming Dynasty, they were officially called chopsticks. Chopsticks were called chopsticks in the pre-Qin period and chopsticks in the Qin and Han dynasties. It is recorded in Records of the Historian Wei Zijia that there was an image at the beginning, and Zhou was the king at the end of Shang Dynasty.
2. Based on this calculation, China has used chopsticks for at least 3000 years. In Wuzhong area of Ming Dynasty, which was later Suzhou, Songjiang and Changzhou, boatmen in Jiangnan water town were afraid of the sound of chopsticks, because it meant that fishing boats ran counter to the wind and waves and used chopsticks instead of chopsticks, placing people's good wishes for sailing boats to be unimpeded.
