There are many different tales of the origin of chopsticks, one of which is related to Dayu, a legendary figure who tamed floods. It is said that there were ravaging floods which caused serious damage during the reign of Yao and Shun, who therefore sent Dayu on a mission to control the floods. Dayu swore to complete his task successfully and relieve his people from the threat of floods. During his mission, he passed by his own house three times, but each time he did not go back in. He begrudged every minute he had to spend on rest and sleep. One day, he came to an island by boat feeling very hungry. He began to cook meat in an earthenware crock. When the meat was done, it was too hot to eat it with his hands, but it would take too much time to wait for the meat to cool off. <\/div><\/p>\n
