Chapter 83 Brilliant Culture
After the war, the meal was very rich, or it can be said that Ye Shu cooked some very delicious food. Tony was fine, but Peter had basically never eaten this kind of thing.
Of course, the cutlery is still chopsticks.
This resulted in Peter barely being able to pick up the food at first, and kept struggling with the chopsticks in his hands, which made Tony laugh repeatedly.
"You were not the same when you first started. You only used chopsticks as forks." Ye Shu said to Tony casually when he saw that his face was about to break with laughter.
"But I learned it quickly, didn't I?" Of course, Tony strongly refuted his dark history.
"You call this learning?" Ye Shu pointed at the cross-shaped chopsticks in Tony's hand and said scornfully: "The point where the chopsticks intersect can only be at the round end, like this."
Ye Shu said while demonstrating the correct behavior for the two of them.
"The upper chopsticks are controlled with the thumb, index finger and middle finger. The lower chopsticks should be fixed, and only the upper chopsticks should be moved to hold the food. This is very important. Put the heads of the two chopsticks together and align the tips of the chopsticks, which is very easy. You can pick up something to eat." As he said that, Ye Shu easily picked up a peanut from the plate.
"There are actually a lot of things to pay attention to when it comes to chopsticks, and they are also the brand of China." Ye Shu put the chopsticks flat on his hands and said:
"What are the real Chinese chopsticks? First of all, one end of the chopsticks is round and the other is square. The round one symbolizes the sky, and the square one symbolizes the earth, which corresponds to the round sky and the earth. This is the Chinese people's understanding of the basic principles of the world; secondly, when holding chopsticks, The index finger of the thumb is on the top, the little finger of the ring finger is on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle, which is the symbol of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. This is the Chinese understanding of the relationship between man and the world."
Tony and Peter listened to Ye Shu's words. This was the first time they understood that the two "inconspicuous little sticks" in their hands had such profound meanings, and they were naturally fascinated.
"Then, the Chinese people abide by the concepts of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang. Tai Chi is one and Yin and Yang are two. One is divided into two, which means that everything is composed of two opposites. The two become one, the combination of Yin and Yang , also means a perfect result. Chinese people’s ideals and reality, soul and body are also integrated into one. Therefore, we call chopsticks a pair instead of two.”
Regarding yin and yang, the two foreigners Tony and Peter obviously didn't understand much, but they still understood the general meaning. The chopsticks they hold in their hands are not simple, they contain too much wisdom and philosophy.
"I didn't expect that there are so many explanations for this chopstick. I am becoming more and more interested in Chinese civilization." After listening to what Ye Shu said, although he seemed to understand but not understand, this brand-new knowledge theory made Tony feel Very novel.
You must know that when Western countries promote China in China, they basically use "poor, uncivilized, and barbaric" as synonyms. Little do they know that China's etiquette culture, history and culture, humanistic education, etc. are beyond their reach.
China is the only remaining ancient civilization in the world. Its five thousand years of history have accumulated too much cultural heritage that modern people cannot imagine. It is far beyond the imagination of some countries with only a few hundred years of history.
Although Tony was aware of his country's government's false propaganda against China, he was not enthusiastic about Chinese culture before. Or it can be said that he is only interested in science and women, and other things are not considered.
However, now that he heard Ye Shu's explanation, Tony gradually developed a strong interest in the country with a splendid civilization on the other side of the earth.
The same is true for Peter. The history courses in school only focus on their western countries. The distant East is only briefly introduced, or the shortcomings and strengths are introduced.
Now hearing Ye Shu talk about the history and culture of China, Peter felt that a new world he had never known before was unfolding before his eyes.
As a result, Ye Shu began to introduce Chinese culture and other historical traditions to Tony and Peter.
The two listened attentively, occasionally awkwardly picking up a piece of food with chopsticks and putting it into their mouths.
But now they are all very serious about learning how to use chopsticks. Only those who really understand chopsticks know that its convenience is far beyond that of a knife and fork.
A few people were chatting and eating, and in a blink of an eye, there was not much food left on the table.
I looked at the time and it was already
