阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
You may have already forgotten the days when you had to learn how to use chopsticks. Every Chinese kid struggles with them for some time. But chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.
Generally, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as bad manners, just like playing with forks and knives in a Western country.
There are also some superstitions(迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. They look like the incense(祭祀时用的香) that the Chinese use to honor the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.
You should not tap chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, either, because beggars(乞丐) do this to ask for food. Parents might get angry if children do this as they don’t want their children to be as poor as beggars in the future.
Besides being tableware(餐具), chopsticks can also be a great gift. In Chinese, “chopsticks” are known as “kuaizi”, which means to have babies soon. The new couples sometimes receive chopsticks as a wedding gift. Skilled craftsmen(手艺人) paint beautiful images on chopsticks to make them look like fine artworks.
