Three Legends — Who Invented Chopsticks?
There are three main legends about how chopsticks were invented.
One says that master Jiang Ziya (姜子牙, 11th century BC, a famous master who assisted the emperor of the Shang Dynasty) was told by a bird to use bamboo sticks to pick up meat, and found out that his wife wanted to kill him using poisonous food, when smoke came from the chopsticks.
Another says that Da Ji (妲己, 11th century BC, a beautiful woman who was believed to confuse Emperor Zhou, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty) used to please Emperor Zhou by picking up hot meat with hair sticks.
The third one says that Da Yu (大禹, 21st century BC, father of the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty) invented wooden chopsticks to pick up hot food to save time over the meal while preparing for flood control work.
