筷子(chopstick)起源于中国古代,一直是中国饮食文化重要的一部分。我们的祖先喜欢吃蒸煮食物,但用勺子很难舀(spoon out)到汤里的蔬菜,所以发明了筷子。从此,筷子成为他们生活中最为方便的餐具(tableware),标志着饮食文明的到来。如今,筷子除了具有餐具功能外,增添了很多新功能。熟练手艺人在筷子 上描绘美丽的风景,使之变成精美的艺术品。许多人热衷于收集筷子作为藏品。

Nowadays,chopsticks are added many new functions besides being used as one kind of tableware. Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful sceneries on them to make them look like fine artworks.
