What is the origin of chopsticks?

You need tools to eat. Westerners are used to using knives and forks. Many Arabs and Asians like to grasp food with the most convenient fingers. In China, Japan and other countries, the most common eating tool is chopsticks. Chopsticks are also utensils for holding food. According to research, chopsticks were invented by us in China. However, people in the Zhou and Qin dynasties still liked to grasp with their hands when eating. In the Book of Rites Quli, it is recorded that "* * * rice does not rub hands, does not fight for rice, and does not put rice", which means that when grabbing rice, do not fight (pick up) or put the rice stuck to your hands on the rice plate. Of course, this refers to the rules that should be paid attention to when eating with people. When you eat alone, you don't need so many rules. Around the Han Dynasty, the use of chopsticks became more common, and chopsticks were found in a Han tomb in Yunnan. There are many kinds of chopsticks in China, such as bamboo, bone, plastic and silver ... It is said that there was a pair of ivory chopsticks in Zhou Wang of Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago. The benefits of using chopsticks are not only sanitary, elegant and safe, but also beneficial to health. Using chopsticks contributes to dexterity and brain development.
