History of Chopsticks
Chopsticks are originated in China during the Shang Dynasty
(1766-1122 BC). The purpose of chopsticks at that time was
to use as a
substitute for knives at the table. According to
Confucius (K’ung Ch’iu),
Chinese philosopher and teacher (lived during 551-478 BC), knives were
treated with acts of aggression or hostile behavior. Therefore, knives
should not be used to dine especially on the Emperor and Royal Family
dining table.
Chopsticks then became the eating utensils of choice as
neighboring Asian countries adopted its use and modified its benefits
according to cultural preference.
