EverythingChopsticks.com, a leading seller of chopsticks in the United States, has added several new styles of luxury Chinese chopsticks. These chopsticks embody the elegance of Chinese style.
The
luxury Chinese chopsticks all share nice sticks made of sandalwood with
a polished finish. Each is decorated with an elegant gold or silver
colored metal cap on the handles with text and graphics over printed in
black.
The
Double Happiness model
comes with either a gold or silver colored metal cap. The chopsticks
are 9-7/8 inches long with a 1-1/8 inch cap. The metal cap has the
double happiness characters printed in black. Double happiness is the
most popular good wish for birthdays, weddings and other happy
occasions.
The
Good Luck model
is considered the nicest of the three styles. It is 10-5/8 inches long
with a long 2-1/2 inch silver colored metal cap. The metal cap has eight
characters that mean invincible rich life with good luck and happiness.
Chinese
style chopsticks differ from Japanese style chopsticks which are more
common in America. While Japanese chopsticks are commonly about 9 inches
long and taper from handle to tip, Chinese chopsticks are long,
typically 10 inches or more, with square handles and round tips. They
usually have little to no taper.
Common chopsticks in China are
made of simple wood with no decoration. Dark woods are most popular or
common. Sandalwood is considered a nice, rich dark wood.
Chopsticks
were invented in China about 5,000 years ago. Chopsticks use spread to
other countries and cultures in Asia during the early centuries of the
first millennium.
Styles of Chinese chopsticks changed
dramatically over time from short, around 7 inches to long. The current
style of Chinese chopsticks was derived during Ming dynasty and exists
as the common style to this day.
