Why Chinese use chopsticks?

Chopsticks

The Japanese one's thinner, rounder and shorter and Chinese ones are thicker and squarish, if you're beginner you should start with the Chinese kind.

More input from Wiki contributors:

  • The Japanese are rounded near the bottom while the Chinese ones are more flat.
  • Japanese chopsticks are smaller, lighter and easier to use!
  • Chinese chopsticks tend to be broader and more uniform in width throughout their length, whereas Japanese chopsticks tend to be thinner and taper to rounded tips
  • The difference in shape may have been influenced by different eating customs; thinner, pointed chopsticks make it easier to pick up smaller, more delicate, pieces of food where wider and flatter chopsticks make it easier to move food from a bigger serving dish to a smaller eating dish

What food that would be hard to eat by a chopsticks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chopsticks only make 2 thin lines of contact with the objects they pick up, so they are only good on chunky, solid objects. It's very hard to use chopsticks to pick up any appreciable amount of food that's made up of small loose solids, like couscous, trail mix, cracked wheat, or even rice that does not stick into chunks. People with less experience might also have trouble picking up round objects (peanuts), long slippery objects (spaghetti), and heavy objects (an entire slice of pizza). Also, liquids like soup are obviously impossible to handle by chopstick.

Do they use chopsticks in Korea?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, I'm Vietnamese from Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), and all the time during dinner and eating I always have to use chop sticks. You get the hang of it soon.

_____________________________________________________________________

The Vietnamese of recently immigrated Chinese ancestry usually still use chopsticks, as do others with strong Eastern heritage and influences. Vietnam also had a lot of French influence in the history of their culture and, where that influence was more strong, there is more use of Western flatware along with the use of chopsticks. Both are used now-a-days.
