Eating with chopsticks has a history of at least 3000 years, and it is the home country of eating with chopsticks in the world. Chopsticks seem to be just two very simple thin sticks, but they have the functions of picking, poking, clamping, mixing and scraping, and they are convenient to use and cheap. Chopsticks are also a unique tableware in the world today. Anyone who has used chopsticks, whether China or foreigners, admires the inventor of chopsticks. But who invented it? When was creation born? No one can answer this question now. In ancient China, we can't find any written materials to record this great contribution to human civilization. Maybe our ancestors lacked words at that time, or the books that recorded chopsticks were lost? In short, the only answer to this unsolved case is "no record in history". Of course, the study of chopsticks culture is not without any circumstantial evidence.

2. Race occurrence

The most important opportunity to promote the birth of chopsticks should be that cooked food is hot. In ancient times, because there were no metal utensils, and because the bones of animals were very short, extremely brittle and difficult to process, ancestors picked bamboo and branches to catch cooked food. In the wilderness environment, human beings live in dense forests and grass holes, and the most convenient materials are trees and bamboo branches. Because of this, sticks and thin bamboo were fiddled with by ancestors when baking, and they longed for clips when scalding food. When cooking millet, the rudiment of chopsticks gradually appeared. This is the inevitable development law of human beings in special environment. Judging from the shape of chopsticks now, they also have the characteristics of primitive bamboo sticks. Even after more than 4000 years of development, its originality cannot be changed.
