The Chinese food culture includes some typical table customs. We have selected a remarkable features of Chinese table customs: the usage of chopsticks. Chopsticks, in Chinese called kuai-zi (quick little fellows), were developed about 5,000 years ago in China. People cooked their food in large pots which retained heat well. Food was chopped into small pieces so it could be cooked more rapidly. Inventive eaters then broke twigs off trees to retrieve the food.Because food was chopped in small pieces, this led to the replacement of knives by chopsticks and chopsticks became the sole staple utensils. The famous Chinese philosopher Confucius (a vegetarian) has further stimulated the usage of chopsticks by advising people not to use knives at the table because knives would remind them of the slaughterhouse!
