The first chopsticks were probably used for cooking, stirring the fire, serving or picking up bits of food, and not as eating utensils. Chopsticks began to be used as eating utensils during the Han Dynasty in China. During this session, everyone will learn the proper way to hold and use chopsticks. The history and origin of chopsticks in our culture will also be discussed.
