Origin Of Vietnamese Bamboo Chopsticks
In Vietnamese culture, a folk story proves the early birth of chopstick, which is the legend of the betel nut. The story was born before the Qin Dynasty and 1,000 years of Northern domination.
Legend has it that, during the reign of the King, there were two brothers named Tan and Lang who loved, cared for, and helped each other in daily life.
After getting married, the younger brother felt that he did not care about her, became sad, and left a stream where he cried and turned to stone.
The brother who went looking for you died on the stream back and turned into an areca tree next to the rock. The wife went to look for her husband and then became sad and turned the betel nut on the areca tree. Perhaps, from this story, it can be that chopsticks have appeared for a long time in Vietnam.
Some people believe that using chopsticks to pick up food in Vietnam is mimicking a bird using its beak to pick up seeds.
Symbols such as the pink bird and the crane in Vietnam are long-beaked species that use their beaks to peck food.
Many other stories explain the origin. In particular, many theories suggest that food became scarce in the previous era when the population was increasing.
People used the way of dividing food into small pieces to cook more meals, more economically. And chopsticks were born to divide and pick up food into many small pieces.
In Vietnam, each region has a different culture, but the common point is that they all use chopsticks.
There are bamboo ramparts covered in the North, so people use old bamboo sticks to peel products; the South is mainly coconut trees, so they should use coconut chopsticks. However, bamboo and wooden ones are still products that many people prefer and use.
