Chopsticks originated in China during the Shang Dynasty ( 1766 - 1122 BCE) as a substitue for knives at the table. Contrary to popular belief, the Chinese haven’t always used chopsticks. According to Confucius, knives were equated with acts of aggression and therefore should not be used to dine. Chopsticks quickly became the eating utensils of choice as neighboring Asian countries adopted their use and modified them according to cultural preference.
