The tool of chopsticks itself is the product of human culture and the beginning of civilization. Chopstick culture also implies Eastern ideas and East Asian lifestyles.
Among the three East Asian countries that use chopsticks, Korea is the only country that uses metal and uses spoons in pairs, unlike China and Japan, which use wooden chopsticks, which leads to a spirit of harmony and embrace.
