At that time, Li Hongzhang visited Britain again, and Britain entertained Li Hongzhang with western food. There was a plate of roast chicken. It's really difficult to eat with a knife and fork. Li Hongzhang tried to eat roast chicken with a knife and fork and ended in failure. So Li Hongzhang gave up and started directly. When Li See Hongzhang, an Englishman, eats roast chicken like this, in order to respect him, they may actually see that he eats well, and cutting roast chicken with a knife and fork is also very troublesome. Everyone started work, but it was too convenient to catch roast chicken directly with their hands. Later, the king of England also chartered to eat roast chicken without a knife and fork.

Li Hongzhang was an outstanding diplomat in Qing Dynasty and often visited foreign countries on behalf of the country. At that time, I went to a foreign country, if I happened to be eating Chinese food with chopsticks. Those foreigners are in a hurry and our officials will laugh at them. When it's China officials' turn to eat western food, they will be laughed at by foreigners if they don't use knives and forks correctly. As a matter of fact, knives, forks and chopsticks are only manifestations of the differences between Chinese and western food cultures. Everyone laughed and laughed, but pot calling the kettle black.

Mr Cai Yuanpei also went to France for a meeting. The host asked Cai Yuanpei that he was used to using chopsticks and it was inconvenient to use a knife and fork. Cai Yuanpei's words are very meaningful.

"As early as more than 3,000 years ago, our ancestors also used knives and forks. However, our Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation. We think knives and forks are weapons to kill people. It's rude to eat food with them. Therefore, from the Shang Dynasty, we switched to' Bi' and' Zhuan', cutting meat with Bi and filling food with Zhuan. Later, the cooking technique was improved, and chopsticks could hold meat, and they were no longer used for seating. Now people in China eat with chopsticks. "

These words explain the chopsticks culture of our country and enhance the connotation cultivation of our country. Let foreigners look at China's chopsticks culture with new eyes. Also dare not laugh at China people can't use a knife and fork.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of society, there are many western restaurants in China. China people can also cut steak with elegant knives and forks, fork with left hand and knife with right hand, and then slowly taste red wine. There are also many Chinese restaurants abroad. Chinese Restaurant was filmed in a foreign country. Eating with a knife and fork feels like paying attention to yourself. Everyone only eats the food in front of them. Eating with chopsticks is a kind of sharing. Ten dishes can be shared by ten people. Respect each other's culture, experience each other's culture, and occasionally live in a different way.
