Do you know about National Chopsticks Day? For about one quarter of the world’s population, chopsticks are the eating utensils (餐具) for every meal. Just as Western children learn to use knife and fork, Asian children learn to use chopsticks, and they quickly become good at using them. To Asian people, forks are odd utensils.
Chopsticks can be made of wood, bamboo, plastic, bone, fine china or metal. In China, they are called *kuaizi*, which means “quick little bamboo fellows”.
Chopsticks have been used for over 5 000 years. However, forks were not used in England until 1611. Chopsticks came from China and are used in all Asian cultures. But how their use was introduced to other countries is not known.
Take part in National Chopsticks Day, and use chopsticks for all of your meals. You can eat any Chinese or other Asian food with chopsticks on that day. To make the day really special, you can use chopsticks on a homemade Chinese dish. Have fun with chopsticks on the day. You can also make a game out of picking up peanuts (花生) or beans (豆) with them.
Chopsticks etiquette:
Improper use of chopsticks is in poor taste, and can even be impolite or insulting (侮辱的).
● Don’t stick chopsticks into your food. It’s an insult.
● Don’t point at people with them.
● Don’t use your chopsticks to hit a bowl.
