Chapter 6 Chopsticks Culture

"I don't have that magical ability, I'm afraid I'll hit the wall."

As soon as she went out, the young man smelled a burst of vegetables, and the food of the ancient earth didn't know how, anyway, her stomach was almost hungry now, and the whole person who couldn't control it floated to the dining table, and then stretched out her sinful right hand......

"Smack!" The young man who was clapped with chopsticks turned his head to look at the little old lady who didn't know when she appeared beside her with a tiger face.

"I haven't washed my hands yet! Dirty! The little old lady gave the boy a disgusted look, then pouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Go wash your hands." ”

Pouting, Young Master Yu rubbed his red hand and shook it to the kitchen.

"Xiao Jiu, what's the matter with the little old lady? No doubts? ”

"Master, I don't know."

"Tsk, waste."

Xiao Jiu: "...... has the ability, you can get the energy source back and let me upgrade!!

After wiping his hands, the young master Yu returned to the table in a leisurely manner.

Seated.

One glance at the little old lady with a tiger face, another glance, another glance......

"What do you see? Eat right away and go to homework when you're done! The little old lady glared at the young man, and the young man immediately coaxed and lowered his head to eat.

After eating a bite of food, the young master of the Yu family army realized that how could the young master of his dignified Yu family army be afraid of a little old lady?

Well, it must be the reason of the original owner, after all, their compatibility has not reached 100%, and it is normal to have the original owner's distress, the young man thought.

Xiao Jiu (whispering): I said that your compatibility has reached 100%.

Looking at the way the little old lady held the chopsticks, the young man also followed the example of the little old lady and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

"Master, this ancient Chinese chopsticks have a university question!"

"Huh? How so? The young man looked at the chopsticks in his hand, when he was in the interstellar time, the chopsticks were gone, but there were records in the history of the royal family, if she remembered correctly, this eating tool, there is a proverb that expresses unity, called "A pair of chopsticks is easy to break, a pair of chopsticks is difficult to break." "There are also people from the ancient martial arts family who use it to practice ancient martial arts.

"I'll give you science after the master finishes eating, the knowledge here is not something that can be said clearly in a word, and the table manners of ancient Huaxia are also very knowledgeable."

The young man was silent, not only is chopsticks very knowledgeable, but also how to eat with chopsticks.

For example, now, she is trembling with a green vegetable, for fear that it will fall, Xiao Jiu in her mind has been cheering him on, and the young man who can't bear it finally scolds back: "Shut up!" You stupid system! ”

After the sound disappeared in his head, the boy continued to fight with the chopsticks, carefully holding the dish, trembling and sandwiching the dish into the bowl......

And so on and so forth.

The little old lady on the side didn't feel anything wrong, just glanced at the young man and continued to eat herself.

The boy who finally finished eating breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to eat, and he really served the person who invented chopsticks.

Seeing that the little old lady had also finished eating, the young man thought about it and got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Smack!" The young man covered the back of his hand that was reddened and looked at the little old lady with a confused expression.

"What kind of dishes and chopsticks? Go back to your room and do your homework! Glaring at the young man, the little old lady finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.

Boy: "???? ”

"Master, the old people in ancient Huaxia always attach great importance to their academic performance, and think that the better the school they are admitted to, the better their future career will be."

The young man pursed his lips when he heard this, doesn't the way out of the individual depend on the individual's ability?

This ability is still comprehensive, not only grades, but also communication skills, hands-on ability and so on.

A little puzzled, he frowned and turned to walk in the direction of the room.

"Xiao Jiu, what's the matter with those chopsticks?"

"Master, the chopsticks culture of ancient China is a culture with local cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation. With its immortal character and unique charm, chopsticks culture has become a wonderful thing in the garden of Chinese culture. It can be said that the emergence of chopsticks is the unique result of the long-term development of a specific civilization in ancient China, and people call it a major invention in addition to the four major inventions of the Chinese people. At the same time, chopsticks as a product of civilization, carrying human diet and social culture, these two seven or eight inches long, as thin as the little finger of the simple stick, wonderful application of the principle of leverage in physics, flexible on the dining table to show their skills, vividly interpret the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, is a symbol of oriental civilization, known as the essence of Chinese civilization.

Chopsticks culture has a long history, the earliest name is "įŽ¸", and the traditional Chinese writing of the word "įŽ¸" is "į­¯".

From the pronunciation and glyphs, it can be seen that the most primitive function of chopsticks is to help eat.

In addition, according to historical records, the earliest chopsticks appeared in the Neolithic Age, more than 3,000 years ago.

The emergence of chopsticks is not only a revolution in Chinese food culture, but also a symbol of human civilization.

Anyone who has used chopsticks, whether Chinese or foreigners, admires the inventor of chopsticks.

But who invented it? And when was it created? No one can answer this question now.

However, the legend about the origin of chopsticks can play a role in finding the origin of chopsticks.

There are three more representative ones in the folk, first of all, the story of the divine bird saving Jiang Ziya: Jiang Ziya used two filaments to detect the poison in the food under the guidance of the sacred bird, and since then he has eaten with two silk bamboos at every meal, and the neighbors have also learned to eat with bamboo branches, and later more and more people followed suit, and the custom of eating with chopsticks has been passed down from generation to generation.

The legend about the origin of chopsticks also has the story of Daji, the favorite concubine of the king of Shang who spread in Jiangsu, fed the king with a jade hairpin and vegetables: in order to win the favor of the king, in order to prevent the king from getting angry because of the hot food, he took off the long hosta on his head and picked up the vegetables and blew them and then sent them to the mouth of the king. The king thought that it was a pleasure to be fed with vegetables by Daji, so he asked Daji to do this every day. Later, Daji asked the craftsman to make two jade chopsticks for her, which was the prototype of the original jade chopsticks, and later this way of carrying vegetables was passed to the people, so Huaxia produced chopsticks.

This chopsticks legend is not as mythical as the first legend, but closer to life and has some practical significance, but even if it is legendary, it still does not match the facts. Because archaeologists excavated the copper chopsticks in the tomb of Houjiazhuang in Anyang, it has been verified that its age is earlier than the era of King Zhou at the end of the Yin Dynasty, so it is obvious that chopsticks are neither invented by King Zhou, nor created by Daji, but should be a product of an earlier period.

There is also a saying that Dayu invented chopsticks: Dayu during the water control, in order to save time, Dayu always uses branches and thin bamboo to fish food from the boiling pot to free up time to deal with urgent matters.

Over time, Dayu has developed the ability to skillfully make thin sticks to grab food, and his subordinates see him eating like this, neither hot hands, nor make their hands greasy, and they have followed suit, so they gradually formed the prototype of chopsticks.

Dayu accidentally produced the initial process of using chopsticks in the water control, which is more simple and authentic than the legend of Jiang Ziya and Daji chopsticks, so that today's people are more willing to believe that this is the real situation.

It should be said that, in fact, the birth of chopsticks should be the collective wisdom of the ancestors, not the credit of a single person. The main opportunity for the birth of chopsticks should be the hot cooked food.

In ancient times, because there were no metal utensils, and because the animal bones were too short, extremely brittle, and it was not easy to process, so the ancestors picked fine bamboo and branches to get cooked food, when they were in a wilderness environment, human beings lived in dense forests, grasses, and caves, and the most convenient materials were trees, bamboo poles.

Because of this, the small stick and fine bamboo through the ancestors of the roasting of the teasing, the urgency of the hot food, the steaming of millet when stirring, etc., the prototype of chopsticks gradually appeared, this is the inevitable development law in the special environment of human beings, from the shape of the chopsticks now, it also has the characteristics of the original bamboo stick, even after more than three years of development, its primitiveness has not changed.

Today, when it comes to chopsticks, everyone must disagree, isn't this a tool for us to eat every day? But don't underestimate this pair of chopsticks, not only its production process has to go through more than 30 complex processes such as bleaching, air drying, polishing, printing, etc., it also contains extremely rich history and culture.

Mr. Fok Ying-tung, the national *****, once said: "Now that this festival and that festival are held in various places, I think the most popular one among the masses is the 'Chopsticks Culture Festival'." "Maybe we can't fully understand Mr. Huo's intentions for a while, chopsticks are also worthy of holding a festival? After reading the classics about "chopsticks", I gradually understood the original intention of Mr. Fok to propose the chopsticks festival. Culture is a kind of power, and so is chopstick culture, and he said this in the hope of promoting China's chopsticks culture.

Huaxia is the hometown of chopsticks, and chopsticks are the eating utensils that Chinese people must use every day. The small two chopsticks are used freely by Chinese people, and they follow the instructions of their parents to learn to use chopsticks from childhood, while foreigners can only "look at chopsticks and sigh", and it is extremely difficult to master the essentials of using chopsticks.

In order to let their children retain the roots of the Chinese nation, many old overseas Chinese who have settled in foreign lands require their families to know how to use chopsticks in addition to eating the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, wrapping rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, and eating reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve. This is undoubtedly also a manifestation of adhering to the culture of chopsticks and loving Chinese culture.

Modern scientific research on chopsticks is also very interesting.

A pair of simple and small chopsticks, you don't underestimate it, as a tableware, not only has a variety of functions such as clipping, dialing, picking, picking, pinching, sprinkling, etc., when eating with chopsticks, it will also affect more than 30 joints and more than 50 muscles of the human body, thereby stimulating the internal activity of the nervous system, helping people to move sensitively and think quickly.

I really didn't expect that chopsticks also have the function of health care, which has to make us sigh at the wisdom of the ancients and the greatness of invention!

Therefore, human beings choose chopsticks to eat is the best way, and the invention and use of chopsticks in China is a scientific invention worthy of pride and respect in the history of human civilization.

Chopsticks are a unique existence in China and have profound historical and cultural connotations. The development of chopsticks culture so far, after years of tempering and the baptism of time, chopsticks have not only not been eliminated by history, but more and more exude the smell of long-lasting fragrance, and slowly evolved into a form of combining practicality and culture. Nowadays, chopsticks and chopsticks, which have been integrated into the history of 3,000 years of civilization, are gradually becoming a good tourist product for people to give to their relatives and friends, and their cultural connotation is also highlighted.

But now many people are almost forgetting this, and even if they learn how to use chopsticks from a young age, few people know about it. And in the interstellar period, the use of chopsticks was a habit that only those ancient families retained, and few people knew about the history of ancient times. ”

"The history of the existence of China in the interstellar period has been more than 10,000 years......"

"Yes, master, we are now in ancient Huaxia more than 5,000 years ago. Huaxia is the country that has existed on the planet for the longest time. Its history is as wide as it is long. The people of ancient China have not yet finished exploring, and an unknown catastrophe is being added. This makes it possible for a period of time between the ancient earth and the stars. This period lasted for thousands of years, and no one knew what happened during this time, and some of the materials of the ancient earth were also destroyed in this catastrophe. By the time of the interstellar period, there were very few records of ancient Earth. The data is the best-preserved, but there is no way to verify it, and the information is kept in some ancient family. ”

The young man pursed his lips, he knew some about the history of ancient China.

But only if there is a detailed document. There are many wild histories, and the information is incomplete, so he has a limited understanding of them.
