Confucius a philosopher from East Asia around 551-478 BC emphasized the art of cooking and enjoyment of life, culinary etiquette, social sharing of food, presentation and combing tastes and textures. He established culinary standards and proper table etiquette, most of which are still standards today. The tradition of cutting food into bite size pieces during preparation and not at the table is unique to the Chinese culture, so one did not need any knives on the table.

South China eat there food with?

Chinese people usually eat most of their food with chopsticks. Spoons are also used, but typically only for soup. During a typical Chinese meal, all the dishes are put on the table and everyone helps themselves to what they want with the chopsticks they use to eat. (Serving utensils are not usually used.) Chinese people encourage guests to eat by using their own chopsticks to place food in the guest's bowl. Most food is eaten from a bowl, not a plate. It is not considered rude to lift the bowl closer to your mouth, nor is it considered rude to drink soup from a bowl. For more: joongkoogjip.com

How do Chinese people eat soup with chopsticks if the chopsticks have soup on the spoon?

Chinese people typically use a spoon for eating soup rather than chopsticks, as spoons are more practical for liquids. However, when eating solid ingredients from the soup, they may use chopsticks to pick them out while sipping the broth with the spoon. In some cases, especially with noodle soups, they can use chopsticks to lift noodles and ingredients while sipping directly from the bowl. This combination allows for efficient enjoyment of both the broth and the solids.
