In the long history of thousands of years, China people have formed a unique custom of using chopsticks, especially some taboos, such as three long and two short, the fairy leading the way, the sound of chopsticks, clapping, patrolling the city, scraping the grave, weeping, the reversal of dry and Kun, the anchoring of sea needles and so on.

The shape of chopsticks:

Chopsticks usually have round ends and square ends. The circle symbolizes the sky, and the square symbolizes the ground, which corresponds to the place where the sky is round, so the square is above and the circle is below. This is the basic principle for China people to understand the world.

Usage: A pair of chopsticks is divided into two pieces, representing that China people abide by the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. When using chopsticks, one is active and the other is passive; The initiative is yang and the passive is yin, which is the image of two instruments. When holding chopsticks, the thumb and forefinger are above, the ring finger and little finger are below, and the middle finger is in the middle, which is the image of three talents in heaven and earth. This is China people's understanding of the relationship between man and the world.
