Chopsticks are a pair of small even-length tapered sticks, which are invented by ancient Chinese, and are the main eating utensils of Asian countries, such as China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea and Thailand. Chopsticks may be made of any of several materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, pewter, and plastics. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are of wood or bamboo; those for banquets are often ivory, whereas gold ones belonged only to the royalty and aristocracy.

The correct way to use chopsticks is to hold the pair in the hollow between the thumb and forefinger of your hand. The one closest to your body should rest on the first joint of the ring finger and stay with the forefinger and middle finger, which manipulate it like pincers to pick up the food. The strength applied by the fingers should vary with the things to be taken hold of. The skill to pick up, with speed and dexterity, small things like beans and peanuts and slippery things like slices of preserved eggs can only come from practice and coordinated action of the fingers. Chopsticks generally should be held at the thicker end about a third along their length for balance and efficiency. For greater reach to pick up food further away, hold the chopsticks at the upper ends.

Chopsticks Etiquette:

1. Never pointing the chopsticks on someone because it is discourtesy.
2. Never spear or poke food with the tips of the chopsticks because it is rude behavior.
3. If you need to rest your chopsticks, leave them on the chopsticks rest or by the side of your bowl or plate. Do not stick chopsticks into your food, especially not into rice.
4. Do not suck on the tip of the chopsticks.
5. If the table settings include serving spoons or chopsticks, use them instead of your own set to get yourself food.
