Is it allowed to use chopsticks and spoons at the same time in ancient dining etiquette in China?

In China's ancient dining etiquette, chopsticks and spoons can also be used together. The main function of a spoon is to scoop dishes and food. Sometimes eating with chopsticks can also be assisted by spoons. Try not to take food with a spoon.

When taking food with a spoon, don't fill it too full, so as not to spill it and dirty the table or clothes. After scooping up the food, you can "pause" in the same place for a while, and then move back to enjoy it when the soup won't flow down again. When you don't use the spoon for a while, you should put it on your own plate. Don't put it directly on the dining table.
