Chopsticks were first used in China and then introduced to other areas in the world. 25. D Here are 3 things to know about them.
26. A
Long long ago，Chinese ancestors actually also used hands to eat. About 3000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty，Chinese people started to use chopsticks. During the Pre-Qin period，chopsticks were called "Jia"，and in the Han Dynasties，they were called "Zhu(箸)". Because "Zhu" shares the same pronunciation with "stop" in Chinese，which is an unlucky word. By the Ming Dynasty，people began to call them "Kuai"，meaning "fast" in Chinese. 27. C
