Origin
of the chopsticks
The
Chinese invented chopsticks as a set of instruments to be used
when eating but the reason behind that is not commonly known.
Chopsticks were popularized by the great Chinese philosopher Confucius
(551-479 BC). Chinese civilization, like all civilizations, is
defined by what it terms to be "civilized". Knives at
the dinner table are considered unacceptable (barbaric) since
knives are viewed as weapons... and civilized people don't eat
with weapons at the table. Which is why most Chinese food is chopped
into small pieces before being served.
Traditionally,
chopsticks have been made from a variety of materials. Bamboo
has been the most popular material because it is inexpensive,
readily available, easy to split, resistant to heat, and has no
perceptible odor or taste. Cedar, sandalwood, teak, pine, and
bone have also been used to make chopsticks for the greater population.
The wealthy, however, often had chopsticks made from jade, gold,
bronze, brass, agate, coral, ivory, and silver. In fact, during
dynastic times it was thought that silver chopsticks would turn
black if they came into contact with poisoned food. It is now
known that silver had no reaction to arsenic or cyanide, but if
rotten eggs, onions, or garlic were used, the hydrogen sulfide
they released might cause the chopsticks to change color
