Chopsticks are the most common eating tools in China. Chopsticks have an impressive history of over 3000 years! When you place two thin chopsticks between your fingers to grab food, you need to pay attention to your manners. For example, food that has been picked up should not be put back down on the plate. You shouldn’t point at others with chopsticks. Instead you need to be courteous to others, especially to the elders. Table manners are an important part of Chinese food culture, and using chopsticks properly is the first step of Chinese food culture we can introduce to the world.
