though chopsticks are used in many asian countries, they have their beginning in china. chinese history says that the chinese had chopsticks as far as the xia dynasty(朝代)(about 4, 00 years ago). in the spring and autumn period(時期) copper and iron chopsticks appeared. with the han dynasty lacquered(上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. today we have chopsticks made of plastics. the most expensive are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone.
chopsticks tell chinese tradition in their way. in ancient (古代的) times the rich used hard green stone or gold chop-sticks to show their wealth(富有). in history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous(有毒的). it was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn colour. chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “chopsticks” in chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”!
tianzhu chopsticks from hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from shanyang of shanxi province, and beijing’s chopsticks are well-known.
many westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside(一邊) their knives and forks in favour(愛好) of chopsticks in china. chopsticks appeared in the old chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them. in china, chopsticks are connected with good luck. so on the country’s new year’s eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at dinners as a way of making requests for luck.
