Standard size of chopsticks

The standard size of chopsticks: seven inches and six minutes, behind the front circle.

The reason for this is also profound: seven inches and six minutes long, representing "secular desire", is an emotional animal different from ordinary animals. Therefore, when eating, people are always reminded to control improper desires.

People in China are used to using chopsticks, while people in Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia and the Indian subcontinent grasp them with their fingers. At present, the earliest chopsticks found in China are copper chopsticks unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang City, Henan Province. "Everything is Ready" says: "The former is like a hairpin, while Ji Zi is miserable." Zhou Wang was the monarch at the end of Shang Dynasty, which shows that ivory chopsticks appeared in China more than 3000 years ago.

Use and maintenance:

First of all, the family should try not to mix chopsticks. Because if mixed, it is easy to cause cross-infection of some diseases. Studies have shown that nearly half of people have Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach diseases, and most of these bacteria are spread through families, and chopsticks are one of the important media. Therefore, it is best to have someone to use chopsticks at home.

Secondly, wash chopsticks thoroughly. Many families in China are generous in washing chopsticks. The whole chopsticks are rubbed under the faucet and then inserted into the chopsticks tube for washing. As we all know, chopsticks are easy to breed bacteria and enter the human body with food, which is harmful to people's health.

The correct washing method should be: wash chopsticks carefully with detergent, drain the water, and then put them into the chopsticks tube. Moreover, the chopsticks tube should be hollowed out, and there is no water at the bottom, so it should be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
