There are two kinds of eating tools in other countries: European, American and Latin American countries that use knives, forks and spoons; Countries that use hand-grabbed rice include Africa, West Asia, India and Southeast Asia, except Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia.
In China, chopsticks are not only used for eating, but also widely used in folk customs such as weddings, funerals and celebrations. The shape of China chopsticks is almost cuboid or cylinder, or the head is round and the tail is square (coincident with the "circle"). Only the head and tail are slightly thinner, and pointed chopsticks are also very popular.
Because bamboo grows rapidly and widely, the utilization rate of bamboo chopsticks is high, and chopsticks made of traditional precious materials such as mahogany and ivory are also very useful. Soon after its popularity in China, chopsticks began to spread to other ethnic groups, such as Miao, Tibetan, Mongolian, Hui, Manchu, Zhuang and Miao, although they all had their own eating habits.
But chopsticks are also commonly used, and they are often inseparable from customs and religious ceremonies. However, there are also many ethnic minorities in China who are famous for their traditional eating habits, such as Uygur, Kazak and Li.
