Because our ancestors found that chopsticks are more in line with our country's dietary structure than forks and are more convenient to use at the dinner table. As we all know, chopsticks are a commonly used eating tool among Chinese people, and their history goes back at least three thousand years. From the chopstick cultural relics unearthed so far, we can find that the earliest ones unearthed are copper chopsticks from the Shang Dynasty. In fact, the history of the fork is older than the history of chopsticks. It has appeared in China as early as 8,000 years ago.

Following Chinese history, chopsticks were not called chopsticks at first, but with the continuous simplification of Chinese characters, the current name "chopsticks" came into being. In ancient China, chopsticks were called chopsticks. At that time, people's staple food was soup mixed with vegetables and meat. They often used spoons to drink soup. However, as the dishes gradually became more diverse, our ancestors gradually found that using spoons was very convenient. Inconvenient, many dishes are difficult to get. Therefore, they invented chopsticks and used them to replace spoons for eating.

There are also many opinions among the people about who invented chopsticks. The first theory is that Jiang Ziya during the Zhou Dynasty invented silk and bamboo chopsticks due to the instruction of the divine bird; the second theory is that during the Shang Dynasty, Daji took off her hairpin and made it into chopsticks in order to gain favor from King Zhou of Shang Dynasty; According to three theories, Dayu was eating in the wild during the Xia Dynasty. Because the food was too hot, he broke off two nearby branches to pick up vegetables. We just need to listen to these statements and don't take them too seriously. After all, these are rumors among the people and there is basically no evidence to prove them.

In addition to chopsticks, our ancestors also invented many tools for use. It must be said that they were all wise people. The use of chopsticks not only satisfies the various dietary structures in our country, but also promotes the development of Chinese cooking technology to a certain extent. There is no doubt that China is the country with the largest variety of cuisine in the world, especially our hotpot in Chongqing is very delicious. Without chopsticks, many delicacies in the world would be impossible to taste.
