The correct way to hold chopsticks is to use the middle finger, thumb and forefinger to hold them gently, with the thumb going to the fingernail side of the forefinger; the wrong way: back-pinching. Five fingers together, the back of the hand upward when clamping vegetables, the focus point in the middle finger.

To use chopsticks correctly, you must use the tip of the front chopsticks to align the chopsticks and only move the top side of the chopsticks when using them; hold them gently with the middle finger, thumb, and forefinger; place the thumb next to the nail of the forefinger; put the nail of the ring finger underneath the chopsticks; hold the chopsticks in the middle between the thumb and the forefinger to hold them in place; and leave the chopsticks behind for about 1 centimeter.
