How did the ancients make chopsticks?

Chopsticks are eating tools invented by Han people. Archaeological data show that in ancient times, Han ancestors knew how to pick up food with branches and bamboo branches.

Chopsticks were called chopsticks in ancient times, and the ancient book Han Feizi Yu Lao said, "The past is like chopsticks, but Ji Zi is terrible." Zhou Wang was the monarch at the end of Shang Dynasty. It can be seen that chopsticks made of ivory appeared in China as early as 1 1 century BC, that is to say, the history of using chopsticks in China has been recorded for more than 3,000 years. In addition, there are many folk legends about chopsticks, such as Jiang Ziya's invention of bamboo and silk chopsticks inspired by the divine bird, da ji's invention of chopsticks with a hairpin to win the favor of Zhou Wang, and the legend of Dayu's invention of chopsticks to save time in taking hot food from branches during water control. The length of ordinary chopsticks is about 22-24 cm. Chopsticks have many handicrafts, and more traditional crafts are integrated into the design, which has become the choice of people's collection and is also very popular with foreigners.
