有网友碰到这样的问题“中国人为什么用筷子吃饭?”。小编为您整理了以下解决方案，希望对您有帮助：

解决方案1：

1、筷子的标准长度是七寸六分，代表人有七情六欲，以示与动物有本质的不同。筷子一头圆、一头方。圆的象征天。方的象征地，对应天圆地方；这是中国人对世界基本原则的理解；
其次，手持筷子时，拇指食指在上，无名指小指在下，中指在中间，是为天地人三才之象，这是中国人对人和世界的关系理解。
2、筷子，是指中国常用的饮食工具，通常由竹、木、骨、瓷、象牙、金属、塑料等材料制作。是世界上常用餐具之一，中华饮食文化的标志之一，发明于中国，后传至朝鲜、日本、越南等汉字文化圈。
中国人习惯用筷子，而非洲、中东、印度尼西亚及印度次大陆等地区的人则用手指去抓取。中国目前发现的最早筷子是河南省安阳市殷墟出土的铜筷子。《韩非子·喻老》言：“昔者纣为象箸，而箕子怖。”纣王为商朝末期的国君，可见3000多年前的中国就已经出现象牙筷子。

筷子的来历：
Sometime in the past, people began cooking their food in large pots. The food was chopped up into bits so that it would cook faster. Rather than reaching their fingers into the pots (and thus burning them), folks began to fish for their food with sticks or twigs. It became easier to get the food using a pair of sticks, hence the chopstick was born! Another influence in chopstick history was Confucius (551 to 479 B.C.). He was a vegetarian that held that knives did not belong at the dinner table, as they were for use at a slaughterhouse. Confucius taught that if a moral person heard the screaming of animals at the slaughterhouse, that person would prefer to keep the animal alive and unharmed. Confucius promoted peace and non violence, including the humane treatment of animals. So he was not big on knives but did like chopsticks :-)
In the middle ages (around the 5th century) chopstick use migrated from China to Vietnam, Korea and Japan. The Japanese started out using chopsticks in religious occasions and ceremonies, then progressed to using them for common eating.
