A beautiful representation of both contemporary and traditional Chinese culture, Shanghai Tang's unique take on the classic, traditional Chinese chopsticks results in a contemporary luxury utensil that will fit the palate of those looking to buy quality chopsticks that are stylishly elevated.

Having been used for over three millennia with its history dating back to 1,200 BC, Chinese chopsticks' significance go beyond a mere culinary utensil, but have become one of the most important Chinese cultural symbols. Historically more generally used in the kitchen, Chinese chopsticks were a favourite due to their ability to dip and be dipped into hot pots of water and oil. Their functionality allowed for an evolution over time, and chopsticks began to be used for more than just cooking, becoming a staple at the dinner table as well.

The design of traditional Chinese chopsticks also carries a deeper philosophical meaning -- the round end which is used for holding food symbolises heaven, while the other end is square and represents earth. What is the greatest concern between heaven and earth? A sufficient supply of sustenance -- aptly represented by chopsticks.
