China is the home of chopsticks. The Chinese began to use them in the Shang dynasty. In the third centry
A.D., chopsticks were introduced to Japan and ended its practice of taking food directly by hand. It was not
until the 15th century A.D. that the knife and fork appeared on the dinner tables in Europe.
Nowadays the Japanese seem to love chopsticks more deeply than the Chinese. They gave a Chopsticks
Festival that falls on 4th August each year. In their opinion, using chopsticks is good for people's health. They
believe that using chopsticks leads to a clever mind and deft (灵巧的) hands.
Chopsticks are used now all over the world. They are made not only of bamboo but also of wood, and even
ivory (象牙).
