Talk:Chopstick
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Hand to Mouth: Or, How We Invented Knives, Forks, Spoons, & Chopsticks & The Table Manners to Go With Them by James Giblin (Crowell, 1987) is a good resource to find information about chopsticks. In the book, it states the chopsticks' name means "the quick little fellows". Also, it is either greedy people who cannot wait for their supper invented the chopstick to get their food or it is Confucius who said people should not take knives onto the table. The book is a children's book, so it is very easy to read. The pictures are black and white. It is still at the library.Coffsneeze 13:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC) http://www.factmonster.com/spot/chopsticks1.html also states some history on chopsticks.
