Due to our Chinese eating habits, our usual tableware is chopsticks in normal times, and we will find chopsticks in some of China’s neighboring countries, such as Korea and Japan, through movies or TV series. But they are different from the chopsticks we use in China. For example, Japanese people use pointed chopsticks to better eat sushi and fish fillets, while Koreans use flat chopsticks. And the material is different from ours in China. We usually use wooden chopsticks in China, while Koreans prefer to use metal chopsticks.
We all know that chopsticks have bamboo chopsticks. Of course, there are some wood and chopsticks. Because they consume a lot of wooden chopsticks every year, it means that it takes a lot of trees, so we will prohibit the use of disposable ones. Chopsticks, but at this time some people may ask a question, why do Chinese people do not use metal chopsticks like Koreans? Doesn't this save a lot of wood?
First of all, let's first understand why Koreans use metal chopsticks. This is mainly because South Korea's land area is extremely small, so their resources will be very calm, and metal chopsticks can be used for a long time without using wood. So, it will not pose a certain threat to the triple, and Koreans like to eat kimchi. Everyone knows that kimchi is a kind of pickled food, and it belongs to a kind of cold food, so it is better to use metal chopsticks.
But it is different for us Chinese. We, Chinese people, have a lot of cooking methods, and we have enjoyed eating hot foods since ancient times, and old people often say that eating cold food will make trouble. of. If we use metal chopsticks, then the thermal conductivity of the metal is very strong, so it is easy to cause us to have a burnt mouth, especially if it is hotter than a hot pot if it is more suitable for metal chopsticks.
In fact, now China's chopsticks have basically not used wood but chose to use bamboo chopsticks. Everyone should have a good understanding of bamboo for bamboo, although the growth rate in the past few years is particularly slow, it will grow rapidly after a certain period of time. Moreover, in recent years, China has also paid attention to environmental protection. It not only uses bamboo as chopsticks but also uses bamboo to make planks, bamboo to make beds, even water cups and so on.
Therefore, if we think that the chopsticks used in China are wasting wood, it is a lack of knowledge. And now our country has been vigorously planting trees and changing the environment. I believe that our country will do better in the near future.
