Chopsticks Culture
CHOPSTICKS CULTURE
China was the birthplace of chopsticks around 3000 years ago. Yun Hong are renowned as the owners of the first chopstick store in China. Based in Beijing, Yun Hong are approved to ISO9000 and ISO14001 and were the official chopstick supplier for the 2008 Olympics. Yun Hong have taken chopsticks, once a purely functional item for food intake , and transformed them into works of Chinese cultural art.
Giving chopsticks as a gift is seen as giving happiness. Happiness comes in the form of health, wealth tranquility and longevity. Two chopsticks working together are representative of partnership. Chopsticks can be gifts to:
Close friends – representing friendship and companionship
Newlyweds – bringing conjugal fertility
Leaders – bringing steady and growing development
The Elderly – bringing eternal happiness
A Spouse – representing side-by-side and never to be separated
A Partner – representing sincere cooperation
Each set of chopsticks is based deeply on Chinese culture and is made according to traditional methods for molding, carving, inlaying and painting. Each set of chopsticks will lead you to appreciate the artistic conception of traditional life; the use of such fine natural materials realises a truly exquisite and elegant experience.
Yun Hong have developed into being the largest chopstick retailing chain in China, and their products are now available directly to the UK from Bamboo Basket Ltd.
