Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese,
Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more
than one fifth of the world's population using them daily to eat.
In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of
chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple
eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more
complex, cultural symbol today. Opening in the Neolithic Age, at
the first recorded use of chopsticks, the book surveys their
practice through Chinese history, before exploring their
transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia, including
Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Mongolia. Calling upon a striking
selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has
influenced Asian cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to
influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe.
