D(2025·扬州市高邮市模拟)
Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China, dating back to roughly 1,200 BC. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia.
The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It's said that ancient royalty used silver chopsticks to see if the food was poisonous(有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones.
Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip(握法) can greatly improve the dining experience. First, place the top parts of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks.
▲ The first rule is to grab and not stab(刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don't set chopsticks vertically(垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, it is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It's rude to point them directly at others.
Following the rules above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience.
