Chopstick Etiquette 2
In Chinese, chopsticks are called “Kuaizi“. Chinese chopsticks are relatively long.
The DOs and DONTs of Chopstick use in CHINA:
- Do NOT beat your bowls while eating. This behavior is associated with beggars.
- Like in Japan, do NOT stick your chopstick into your rice. This practice is used solely for sacrifice.
- When picking up food, the back of your hand should be on top at all times. It would be of bad taste and would mean that you are unrefined if you twist the wrist that is holding the chopstick and people would be able to see your palm.
It all sounds strange to me, considering that I have Chinese blood. But, that is how it works.
