Chopsticks

Picture
Chopsticks=Chinese chopsticks are bigger than the ones in Japan and Korea. Chopsticks are called "Kuaizi" in Chinese and were called "Zhu" in ancient. Chinese people have been using kuaizi as one of the main tableware for more than 3,000 years. You must use chopsticks for all food except soup. Chinese people really care how you use your chopsticks. You are definitely not allowed to twirl and lick the chopsticks or use them for stirring your food. It is also bad to point your chopsticks at people. When a person is full they indicate that by placing there chopsticks on their plate. The Chinese are very specific about the use of chopsticks.
