Chinese started to eat with chopsticks since roughly over 2000 years ago. At first chopsticks were used as cooking, stirring the fire, serving or seizing bits of food, and not as eating utensils. Then, during the Han dynasty period, the Chinese began to use chopsticks for eating. During the Ming dynasty, chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating.
中国人大约在2000多年前就开始使用筷子吃了。起初，筷子被用来做饭、搅火、上菜或夹菜，而不是用作餐具。然后，在汉代时期，中国人开始使用筷子吃饭。在明代，筷子开始日常使用，用于上菜和吃饭。
促成这一转变的一个因素是全国的人口激增。因此，资源，尤其是烹饪资源，变得极其稀缺。结果，人们开始把食物切成小块，以便更快煮熟。

中国人用筷子吃的另一个原因是因为儒家思想，儒家思想说用刀叉吃东西是不可接受的，因为刀叉是用来打仗的，不是为了吃东西，打仗的工具不应该用来吃东西。
用叉子吃面没问题，但如果你在餐馆吃面，你可以要叉子。
Of course it is ok to use a fork. Chinese use chopsticks mainly out of habit. Also, once you mastered this skill, you will find chopsticks are more convenient than forks.
当然可以用叉子。中国人使用筷子主要是出于习惯。而且，一旦你掌握了这个技能，你会发现筷子比叉子更方便。

不像意大利面，中国人吃面条是这样的:
They do not pick some noodles and put in mouth. Instead, they hold the bowl and push in noodles with chopsticks. Forks cannot do that.
他们不会摘一些面条放进嘴里。相反，他们拿着碗，用筷子把面条推进去。叉子做不到这一点。
日本人也这样做:

Yes, forks can shovel noodles into the mouth just as efficiently. It’s just seen as bad table manners in the West.
回复Honghao Bi
是的，叉子可以同样有效地把面条铲进嘴里。只不过在西方这是一种糟糕的餐桌礼仪。
I don’t believe you. Show me.
回复Samuel Baumgartner
我不相信。除非你给我看。
Samuel Baumgartner
a few examples in the video, 1:19 for one.
视频中的几个例子，1分19秒。
You win!
回复Samuel Baumgartner
你赢了！
It's like Chinese asking why westerners don't use chopsticks to eat noodles, or Indian asking why not eat rice with hands.
这就像中国人问西方人为什么不用筷子吃面条，或者印度人问为什么不用手吃米饭。
除了你自己的吃面条的方法，还有很多其他的吃法。
They started using chopsticks, and have continued to do so. Of course it’s okay to eat noodles with a fork, especially if you aren’t capable of using chopsticks yourself.
他们开始使用筷子，并继续这样做。当然，用叉子吃面条是可以的，尤其是如果你自己不会用筷子的话。
Because it's not in their culture. You can eat noodles using whatever you like. But then why should they allow you to dictate how they eat their noodles?
因为这不符合他们的文化。你想怎么吃就怎么吃。但他们为什么要让你来决定他们怎么吃面条呢?
