Where were chopsticks first unearthed?

Chopsticks, called chopsticks in ancient times, are usually made of bamboo, wood, bone, porcelain, ivory, metal, plastic and other materials. Chopsticks are one of the symbols of China's food culture and one of the commonly used tableware in the world. They were invented in China and later spread to Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and other cultural circles in China. Men's chopsticks also originated in China. Both eating together and using public chopsticks have a long history in China.

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. The earliest chopsticks discovered by China were copper chopsticks unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang City, Henan Province. "Everything is done wrong, Yu Lao" said: "The former is an elephant, while Ji Zi is terrible." Zhou Wang was the monarch at the end of Shang Dynasty, which shows that ivory chopsticks appeared in China more than 3000 years ago.

Tableware has been used in China for a long time. The history of using spoons is about 8000 years, and that of using forks is about 4000 years. The upper limit of using chopsticks is uncertain, but it has a history of at least 3000 years. Forks were still used until the Warring States Period. A bundle of 5 1 forks was unearthed from the Warring States tombs in Luoyang, Henan Province. After the Warring States period, the fork may be destroyed, and records and objects rarely appear. The division of labor between spoons and chopsticks in the pre-Qin period was very clear. Spoons are used to eat, and chopsticks are used to eat dishes in soup. ?

Chopsticks were called chopsticks in the pre-Qin period, chopsticks in the Han dynasty and chopsticks in the Ming dynasty. Qu Lishang in the Book of Rites mentioned that "anyone who has vegetables in the soup must use them", and in the urgent article, he said: "Bah, Bah, so it is also a food clip", and Zheng Xuan in the Book of Rites noted that "Bah is still a good thing".
