● Who invented chopsticks?
It's commonly known that the Chinese invented chopsticks as a set of instruments(工具) to be used when eating but the reason behind that is not commonly known. Actually, the Chinese were taught to use chopsticks long before spoons and forks were invented in Europe. There are many stories about the inventor of chopsticks. One says that Jiang Ziya, a wise man, created chopsticks. But no one knows for sure, and we can only say that the inventor was a clever ancient Chinese.
● What shape are chopsticks?
Chopsticks have the shape of being square above and circle below. In ancient times, Chinese believed that the earth was square and the sky was circle. So the shape of chopsticks shows the respect (尊敬) to nature. Chopsticks are smooth and usually made of bamboo, plastic, wood, or stainless steel(不锈钢).

In fact, it's not difficult to use chopsticks. You can hold the chopsticks between the thumb and the fingers. The key is to keep one chopstick in position and move the other to pick up food. Remember to practice patiently.
