I happened to go to a new online shopping website—— UEQ and found these deadly special wooden chopsticks, craved with various types of facial makeup in Peking opera. Equipped with a fine chopsticks rest in duck shape and packed in an exquisite wooden gift-box, it is full of Chinese style and classic charm. It’s a special gift for the senior and higher-up.
Chopsticks (singular: chopstick) are frequently tapered sticks used in pairs of equal length, which are used as the traditional eating utensils of China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam. Originated in ancient China, they can also be found in some areas of Tibet and Nepal that are close to Han Chinese populations. Chopsticks are most commonly made of bamboo, stainless steel, porcelain, sterling silver, or plastic. Chopsticks are held in the dominant hand, between the thumb and fingers, and used to pick up pieces of food.
By the way, I've found something related to chopsticks to share them ~
The way to hold the chopsticks:
1.Steadily hold it.The important thing with chopsticks is that you find a method of holding them that allows you to eat easily and comfortably. Traditionally chopsticks are always held in the right hand, but this is not set in stone so you can adapt this method to suit your own requirements.
2.If you're using wooden chopsticks, start by rubbing them together to rub off any loose splinters.
3.Lay the first chopstick between the base of your thumb and the tip of your ring finger, with the narrow end pointing away from you.
4.Practice a pinching movement with the chopsticks by moving the top chopstick down toward the bottom one.
5. When first learning to use chopsticks it may be easier to hold them towards the front, the narrow end, but as you become more confident you should hold them closer to the back at the broad ends.
Talbe Etiquette:
1. There are a number of ways of using chopsticks which are considered bad table manners in Chinese dining. For instance, never stick your chopsticks standing upright in a bowl of food. This mimics a Chinese funeral ritual, so it is seen as a symbol of death.
2. Also, never stab food with the point of a chopstick - the chopsticks are designed for pinching not stabbing. Also, when dishing up from a shared serving bowl, it is considered rude to dig around for the choicest pieces, so always take the food nearest to you. It's also seen as an insult to your host if you don't finish all the food that you are given.
3. If you are struggling to pick up the last pieces of rice in your bowl with your chopsticks, you can lift the bowl to your mouth and shovel the rice in with your chopsticks. It is considered polite to eat every last grain of rice. Enjoy!
