The use of chopsticks has been a part of Chinese food culture. There are some taboos (禁忌) that you must pay great attention to, or you may make mistakes and be laughed at.
First, don’t use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make a lot of noise, because Chinese people think only beggars would do this to beg for meals. Second, when you use chopsticks, don’t use them to point at others, which would be regarded as a bad manner to others. Third, it is thought to be an impolite behavior when you suck (吮吸) the end of a chopstick. People will think you lack family education. Fourth, don’t use chopsticks to pock at (拨弄;捅) every dish without knowing what you want. And last, don’t insert (插入) chopsticks straightly into the bowls or dishes. Chinese people do this only when they burn incense (焚香) for the dead.
Nowadays, chopsticks are used more wisely. For example, you can buy a pair as a gift for your friends or relatives. In Chinese, it reads “Kuaizi”, which means to have sons soon, so a newly-married couple will be happy to accept it as their wedding gift.
An interesting experiment shows that many joints (关节) and muscles are being exercised when you use chopsticks. They certainly make you cleverer, don’t they
