Chopsticks Dance Carrying the Traditional Culture of China

It can be said that since we started to walk and eat by ourselves, chopsticks can not be separated from our lives. Originated in China, it is an indispensable tableware in the daily diet of China families. Westerners eat with knives and forks, but people in China eat with chopsticks. So do you know the history of chopsticks? Next, Bian Xiao will give you a detailed introduction.

First of all, chopsticks originated from primitive society, because at that time, human life had not reached our present level. They can only collect some wild fruits in the mountains and hunt for a living, so the way of eating is very simple and rude, and they are directly eaten by their experts. However, with the progress of production tools and the development of society, our ancestors learned to cook food with some pottery utensils before eating, which led us to eat by hand.

Secondly, with the continuous progress and development of the times, we can see from some documents and historical relics that early chopsticks were made of bamboo or other wood. At present, the earliest chopsticks unearthed in China are copper chopsticks unearthed in Yin Ruins of Shang Dynasty. This tool is very simple to make, so even the poor can use chopsticks made of bamboo or wood, so the popularity of chopsticks is very high, and with the hard-working hands of China people, chopsticks have become more and more exquisite.

Finally, chopsticks, as one of the excellent traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, are no longer suitable in the process of getting along with people in China. For example, the code of conduct, in China, you can't put chopsticks of different lengths on the dining table. For example, beggars jingle bowls with chopsticks and then put them in good rice, which is considered as offering incense to the dead, which is extremely inappropriate.
