In a recent popular variety show, a question from the well-known celebrity Shi Boxiong inadvertently set off a tsunami of public topics. In the program, Shi Boxiong noticed that chopsticks were missing from the dining table during the meal, and asked questions about it. This attention to detail not only sparked a small-scale discussion at the scene, but also sparked widespread heated discussions on the Internet after the program was broadcast.
Chopsticks refer to the special chopsticks used when many people eat together, which are used to pick up food from the shared plate to avoid direct contact between personal tableware and shared food, so as to ensure table hygiene. Shi Boxiong's question was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Netizens have entered the discussion, and a debate on table hygiene Xi has been launched over the use of chopsticks.
In this discussion, some netizens expressed their support for Shi Boxiong's point of view, believing that the use of chopsticks is the embodiment of civilized dining. They believe that in the context of the widespread existence of infectious diseases such as influenza and new crown, the use of chopsticks can effectively prevent cross-infection of saliva and protect the health of individuals and others. And, for communal table manners, it also shows respect for others and an attitude that values food hygiene. This part of the netizens usually regard the use of chopsticks as a sign of progress, reflecting the improvement of social civilization.
On the other hand, some netizens put forward different opinions on Shi Boxiong's dining Xi in the show. They believe that in traditional Chinese food culture, there is no such Xi as chopsticks. Serving food between elders and younger generations or relatives and friends is not only an expression of intimacy and warmth, but also a cultural inheritance. For proponents of this view, too much emphasis on chopsticks may alienate the natural affection and friendship between people.
In addition, some netizens mentioned that in real life, not all dining occasions can provide or must use chopsticks. For example, at a family dinner or a gathering of familiar friends, this is more based on trust and Xi than on deliberate emphasis. They believe that Shi Boxiong's raising of this issue in a variety show may be too bookish and may not have fully taken into account the differences in different social situations.
In the face of opinions from all sides, it is not difficult to see that while today's society is developing rapidly and changing, there is a certain degree of friction and integration between traditional Xi customs and modern health concepts. It then leads us to think about how to find a balance between adhering to traditional culture and adapting to modern lifestyles
In fact, whether it is a netizen who supports the use of chopsticks or agrees with the traditional way of dining, they essentially want to pursue a better and more harmonious social environment. From another point of view, the discussion sparked by Shi Boxiong is not limited to the chopsticks themselves – it actually reflects the reflection and exploration of multiple values such as hygiene, health and cultural inheritance in the current society.
Fundamentally, in the context of a constantly changing and increasingly open society, everyone is an important participant and witness in the process of cultural transmission and innovative development. We should embrace an open and inclusive mindset and work together to move forward in a more civilized and healthy society on the basis of respecting individual choices and differences.
Shi Boxiong's seemingly simple question in the variety show actually stirred the pendulum of the progress of the times. Admittedly,There is no such thing as a right or wrong choice – whether it is chopsticks or traditional ways of dining, it should be a sign of respect for quality of life, relationships, and a focus on health and hygiene. Let's enjoy the food at the same time, but also do not forget to chew slowly and savor the details that are worth playing in the changes of the times.
