A long time ago, Chinese ancestors liked to steam or boil food. It was difficult for them to use spoons to dip vegetables in the soup. Which is why chopsticks were invented to dip food. It has become the most convenient tableware for Chinese food. Since I was young, my grandma would cook and the food was often steamed or boiled which led to mainly using chopsticks as an eating utensil. When I was young, I learned to use chopsticks by adding a rubber band at the top which would bind the two chopsticks together. This made using the chopstick itself easier.  It is part of my culture to use chopsticks since it makes the process of eating certain foods (i.e. noodles) a lot easier.
