The meaning of chopsticks

Chopsticks are too familiar to China people. I have learned to eat by myself since I was a child. Who knows that our commonly used chopsticks still contain many philosophies of 5,000 years.

Chopsticks are seven inches and six minutes long, representing secular desires. Seven emotions are emotions, sadness and fear, which represent people's physiological needs.

Pairs of chopsticks represent the opposition of yin and yang. Chopsticks use five fingers to represent fire, water and soil in Jin Mu.

One end of chopsticks is round and the other end is square, representing a round place. The hand in the middle of chopsticks represents the trinity of heaven, earth and man.

When you use chopsticks, you are also very particular. Too strong to open it, too weak to hold the food. This means that people who grow up in heaven and earth should know how to be measured and know that they are endowed with few resources.

China's 5,000-year-old traditional culture is inclusive and enterprising. We should be proud of the wisdom of our ancestors. As China people, we should be proud wherever we go.
