In many people's eyes, chopsticks maybe just a daily eating tool. China began to use chopsticks more than 3,000 years ago. The earliest record was that chopsticks were used in the Shang Dynasty, and it was praised by the Westerners as "the civilization of the East." In fact, it seems that the thin and long, simple two bamboo strips can also measure the infinite philosophy of life.
The chopsticks themselves are presented in pairs, one chopstick or a single chopstick, which is not a chopstick. This is an inevitable requirement of a veritable good thing.
Chopsticks, if they don't unite into a pair, can't be called chopsticks. Individuals can only be called wooden sticks, and uniting one pair becomes a chopstick. The philosophy of life that unites one heart is self-evident.
The function of the chopsticks depends on the coordination of a pair of chopsticks and one hand of the person. The chopsticks show the subjectivity of the person. Zhuangzi’s thought is to think of the subject, control himself, and control everything. Once a person holds a chopstick, the chopsticks and the hand are integrated. The chopsticks are the extension of the hand, and the chopsticks play the function of the hand. At this time, neither the chopsticks without hands nor the hands without chopsticks, the chopsticks in the hands will In the bowl, the food is easy to use as if it is "the combination of heaven and man"!
Unity and upward, people-oriented, cooperation and win-win, cooperation and cooperation, small chopsticks, full of thinking about life, analysis of philosophy, chopsticks when using, pay attention to coordination and coordination. One move, one does not move, can be clamped steady. If both of them move, or if they don't move, they won't be able to hold them. This is the yin and yang principle of China, and it also has the leverage principle of Western mechanics. Chopsticks also have the effect of acupoints, massage, and scraping. When people used to walk in the rivers and lakes, they only had a pair of chopsticks. Even if you forget to bring it, you can break the roots or the reeds, break it, grind it on the stone, wash it in the water, and use it.
A pair of chopsticks is not only tableware but also carries a lot of traditional Chinese culture and condenses the wisdom of many predecessors.
