What do you mean by chopsticks?

Official chopsticks are chopsticks that are used exclusively for chopsticks, usually white in color, and are provided to each person for use only when chopsticks are used for chopsticks. Chopsticks originated in China and are one of the symbols of the Chinese food culture, and official chopsticks also originated in China.

The use of chopsticks is often associated with sharing and sharing meals. Both the sharing of meals and the use of chopsticks have a long history in China. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the *** meal system had completely replaced the split meal system. Whether it's for epidemiological reasons or to promote Chinese civilization and traditional culture, the "separate meal system + communal chopsticks and spoons" should be encouraged.

Origin:

Chopsticks originated in China and are one of the hallmarks of Chinese food culture. Both sharing meals and using chopsticks have a long history in China. As early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, China already had a history of "sharing meals".

In famous ancient paintings such as "Banquet and Dance", "Han Dynasty Mural Painting at the Tiger Pavilion in Mixian County, Henan Province", and "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", you can see the "sharing of meals": sitting on the ground and eating in separate dishes.
