Pay attention to throwing away chopsticks.

There is nothing special about throwing away chopsticks.

Chopsticks originated in China and are widely used in East and Southeast Asia, such as China, Korean Peninsula, Viet Nam, Japanese and Singaporean. Han Feizi Yu Lao said: "The past is like an elephant, and Ji Zi is awesome." Zhou Wang was the monarch at the end of Shang Dynasty, and China recorded the history of using chopsticks for more than 3000 years.

Chopsticks are tableware with national characteristics invented by China people. There are many folk legends about chopsticks, such as Jiang Ziya's invention of silk and bamboo chopsticks inspired by the divine bird, da ji's invention of chopsticks with hosta to win the favor of Zhou Wang, and Dayu's legend that he invented chopsticks to save time in taking hot food from branches when he was in charge of water control.

Chopsticks seem to be just two very simple thin sticks, but they have the functions of picking, poking, clamping, mixing and picking, and they are convenient to use and cheap. Chopsticks are also a unique tableware in the world today. Chopsticks are the product of the slow evolution of human beings in Asia, not invented by someone.
