Chinese people have been using chopsticks as their tableware for 3,000 years. The use of chopsticks is very particular in daily life. However, When using chopsticks, people need to pay attention to certain taboos: 

1. Before or during the meal, chopsticks of uneven length cannot be placed on the table. If they are left at uneven lenghts, it is considered unlucky. We usually call it “three long and two short”, which means “death.”
