Who invented chopsticks, and who invented chopsticks?

Chopsticks were invented by Daji in ancient legends, which stems from a story about how she fed the king of Shang.

Chopsticks weren't invented by someone. In ancient times, primitive people used branches to stick fish and meat on the fire, and later the food became more and more refined, and people shrunk the branches and became the prototype of chopsticks. The earliest history of chopsticks is that the king of Shang used ivory chopsticks to eat bear paws.

Chopsticks is a modern name, in ancient times there were no chopsticks, only chopsticks

However, the chopsticks are used for the master's family or waiters to divide dishes and debon, not one person and one pair as it is now. The ancient chopsticks are somewhat equivalent to the current chopsticks

The man who invented chopsticks:

1. Jiang Ziya invented bamboo chopsticks.

Legend has it that Jiang Ziya can only fish with a straight hook, and he can't do anything else, and he is poor. His wife wanted to poison him to death and marry someone else. A mythical bird repeatedly reminded Jiang Ziya and asked him to use bamboo silk to make chopsticks to test whether the food was poisonous, saving Jiang Ziya's life.

The story spread, and since then, the common people have also learned to make chopsticks from bamboo branches.

2. Daji invented hosta chopsticks.

Legend has it that once when the king of Shang was eating, one dish was too hot. Daji was afraid that he would get angry, so he was in a hurry, took the hosta on his head, blew a few mouthfuls, and fed it to the king when it was cold. The king was very happy to eat, so he let Daji do this every day.

Daji ordered the craftsman to make two long hostas for holding vegetables, which is the prototype of jade chopsticks. Later, this way of picking vegetables spread to the people, and there were chopsticks.

3. Dayu invented the branch chopsticks.

According to legend, when Dayu was managing the floods, he had three times without entering the house. Usually eat can only eat in the wild, sometimes do roast animal meat, just when I want to catch up and eat in a hurry, but it is too hot, so Dayu is in a hurry, and he folds the branches to clamp meat and rice. This is the prototype of the earliest chopsticks, and although the legend comes from the wild history, it seems to be more reasonable.

Precautions for using chopsticks:

When ordinary chopsticks are used for 3-6 months, the color of the chopsticks will become darker or lighter with time and frequency of use. In addition, the edible lacquer on the surface of the chopsticks suffers from wear due to the frequency of use.

As long as the chopsticks change compared to when they were purchased, especially the color, they need to be replaced immediately. When the color of the chopsticks changes, the nature of the material itself must change. The factors that cause the color change are usually caused by the adhesion of food, detergent and air during use, and residues in the food cabinet.
