2. Chopsticks and Dayu

According to legend, Dayu stayed at home and ate in the wild for three times, sometimes for a short time. As soon as the animal meat is cooked, he can't wait to eat it and then move on. However, when the soup is boiled, there is no way to start, so I break the branches and eat them with meat or rice. This is the original prototype of chopsticks. Legend is not official, but cooked food is hot and chopsticks are born by luck, which is in line with the law of human life development.
