Why do Chinese use chopsticks and why do Chinese love to use chopsticks?

I'm going to hit elementary school

Skill comes from practice.

The mythical bird saves Jiang Ziya, the legend of chopsticks spread in Sichuan and other places.

Jiang Ziya can only fish with a straight hook, and he can't do anything else, so he is very poor. And his wife really couldn't live a hard life with him, so she wanted to kill him and marry someone else.

On this day, Jiang Ziya returned home empty-handed from fishing, and his wife said: You are hungry, I will cook meat for you, you can eat it! Jiang Ziya was really hungry, so he reached out to grab the meat, and a bird suddenly flew outside the window, pecked him, he was in pain, ahhh

When he went to get the meat for the second time, the bird pecked the back of his hand again. Jiang Ziya was suspicious, why did the bird peck me twice, can't I eat this meat? In order to try the bird, he went to grab the meat for the third time, and then the bird came to peck him again.

He knew that this was a sacred bird, so he pretended to chase the bird, chased it out all the time, and chased it until he reached a deserted hillside, and saw the divine bird perched on a silk bamboo, and murmured: Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya, you can't grab meat with your hands, and the meat is ...... under my feet. Jiang Ziya listened to the guidance of the divine bird, and hurriedly picked two filament bamboos and returned home.

At this time, his wife urged him to eat meat again, so Jiang Ziya stretched two thin silk bamboos into the bowl, and just wanted to take the meat, only to see puffs of green smoke rising from the silk bamboo. Jiang Ziya pretended not to know about poisoning, and said to his wife: How can meat smoke?

Is it toxic? It's not poisonous, you know that silk bamboo can't touch meat. It's really not poisonous, then you eat a piece. , Saying that, Jiang Ziya picked up the meat and sent it to his wife's mouth, and his wife's face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly ran out of the door.

Jiang Ziya understood that this silk bamboo was a sacred bamboo given by the divine bird, and any poison could be detected, so he used two silk bamboos for every meal from then on. After the news of this incident, his wife not only did not dare to poison again, but also the neighbors also learned to eat with bamboo branches, and more and more people followed suit, and the custom of eating with chopsticks was passed down from generation to generation.

This legend is obviously the product of worshipping Jiang Ziya, and it is not consistent with the historical records, because the ivory chopsticks have appeared in the era of Yin Ziya, Jiang Ziya and King Yin are people of the same age, since the king is already using ivory chopsticks, the silk bamboo chopsticks of Jiang Ziya, there is no invention and creation.

Because the Chinese are smart. So use the tool.

Additional note: Western knives and forks, also invented by the Chinese, were transmitted from China to Spain during the Ming Dynasty, and it took another 200 years before they became popular in Europe. In Europe, it was all about eating rice with hands: the nobles used 3 fingers, and the commoners used 5 fingers.

You don't need to spend money, just break two sprigs. Over time, modernization began, with two flat bamboos or smooth small wooden sticks.

Because the Chinese advocate civilization...

Chinese are the main body of the chopstick-using group and the creators of chopsticks. The chopsticks used by the Chinese are a scientific invention worthy of pride and respect in the history of human civilization.

The people also began to emulate this "upper-class" living habit, and everyone made the ingredients more elaborate and switched to eating with chopsticks. By the time of the Warring States period, chopsticks gradually replaced knives and forks as the mainstream on the dining table. As Chinese food becomes more and more sophisticated, our people have begun to use chopsticks on a large scale.

Since then, knives and forks have entered the kitchen, and it is difficult to be elegant again. Part of the reason why the Chinese worship chopsticks can continue to this day and become the inheritance of Chinese culture, which is also indispensable for the worship of chopsticks.

Chopsticks can be described as the quintessence of China. It is both light and flexible, and is unique among the tableware wheels of the world, and is praised as "the civilization of the East" by Westerners. The history of using chopsticks in China can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.
