In much
of Asia, especially
the so-called "rice bowl" cultures of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam,
food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two
long, thin
pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic,
animal bone or metal.
Sometimes chopsticks are quite
artistic. Truly
elegant chopsticks might (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters.
Skilled workers also combine
various hardwoods and metal (create)special designs.
The Chinese have used
chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots,
(use)twigs(树枝)to remove it.
Over time,
the
population grew, people began
cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.
Food in small pieces could be
eaten easily with twigs which(gradual)
turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the
great Chinese scholar Confucius, lived
from roughly 551 to 479 B. C., influenced the (develop) of chopsticks.
Confucius believed knives would
remind people of killings and (be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used
everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat their hands.
