Regarding 3:41, the round tips on the Chinese chopsticks 筷子 represent Heaven whereas the square ends at the handle of the Chinese chopsticks represent the Earth. The round and the square shapes are also represented on the Cong 琮 which is a ritual object symbolizing Heaven & Earth.

Great info

There are probably more squat toilets than seated toilets in China

So basically because they are poor

And did you wash that chopsticks the one you stuck in your hair😂😂

Interesting. Sending to my teen daughter. She loves everything Kpot. Food and music.

the reverse grip chopsticks gave me physical pain... Interesting video though.

whos watching this while eating chinese food with chopsticks?

Why do Chinese eat with chopsticks? Because they're too lazy to use a fork!

Hehe this was a good one😊

Thanks for doing this. It's upsetting to learn that a modern show is still not representing different cultures accurately and respectfully. I mean come on, she's not even speaking Mandarin properly, give me a break.

someone else still on point pigs eating people's shit?? 🤢😬

I'm learning Mandarin and this is actually insightful. Because I am learning both at a local school and then independently with Pimsleur, I was starting to notice the difference and got myself confused (na li vs na'r haha). But this explains it so well - and you are too cute and funny. Thanks for posting this xo

It's not only in China, there are many asian countries that have these kinds of toilets

Wow that is very intristing Thank you so much for sharing I'm very interested in knowing the Aisian culture I'm looking forward to see more of your video's

The fact it would even occur to someone to use a seated toilet in the same way as the squatting. First off- why- just why. Second- you have added 18 inches between the toilet and the floor with NO safety net... People will defend these things all day- but it is not really up for discussion. You SIT on the toilet and then randomly get into an argument where you are defending bidets.

I couldn't agree more, I don't care if she isn't "a real chinese" but at least she should speak the language properly. it almost sound like she speak a random words ....

I just made these into the best gelatinous broth on the planet, now I'm really curious. only a few dollars for a lb of them at the grocery here in Texas.

do most chinese eat chicken feet everyday?

at least someone explained why

Great presentation! We love Century Eggs!

You *never* *stick* *your* *chopsticks* *in* *your* *rice.* This is seen as a curse in Chinese culture, and it's bad luck to do so

It would be hard to eat rice with chopsticks

I tried eating with chopsticks but I couldn't do it

I am married to a Vietnamese and in my travelling in a number of countries in Asia I have been in situations (not Chinese) where the chopsticks are reversed to pick something from a shared dish and convey it to your personal bowl. The reason given for this was to avoid poking the end of the sticks which have been in your mouth into a shared dish, similar to not using the spoon you have been eating with to ladle desert or soup from the serving bowl. I'm not saying that one is right and one is wrong, just making an observation.

The Indians are more forward thinking people because they eat with their hands. The food are wrapped in banana leaves and after finishing the meal, they simply dump whatever on the table and wash their hands. See, that save all the troubles washing dishes, forks and spoons. Clever, isn't it?

thank you .....going to try chopstick pretty soon ...Love from BD

so cute accent, but thats a good thing

You’re gonna go far! Beautifully made

Southerners are soft and gentle, and northerners are tough and hardcore! 😅 That's the impression, I don't know if it's real...

Cause they'll eat anything?

北方人什么时候吃肉汤圆了？？？

All I know is tanghulu is famous in Northern china

When I went to China, my eyes popped out when I saw chicken s feet in a shop. Then I came to know that Chinese people eat them 😅 totally weird as an Indian 🥺 thanks for explaining the reasons

It's a really good explanation bettuen the north and the south. I'm not shore but If heart as well that the people from the north look's difrent fromt the that live in the south is that true?

Many Chinese people in China can't speak Mandarin, but this was ridiculous. I thought she was speaking Klingon!

love the vid but the audio quality is so bad

Please add more meanings.. will be coo l筷子长七寸六分，代表人的七情六欲，七情指的是喜怒哀思悲恐忧。六欲指的是眼耳鼻舌身意，代表人的生理需求。 筷子成双成对，代表着阴阳相对，而且筷子一头圆一头方，代表着天圆地方，手在筷子中间表示天地三合一。 另外在使用筷子的时候，力气太大，打不开；力气太小，夹不住菜，这表示在天地间要懂分寸知礼节，知道天高地厚。 中国有5000年的传统文化，既有包容心又有进取心，老祖宗的这份传统智慧值得我们骄傲，作为中国人无论走到哪里都要记住这一份骄傲。

vinegar + soy sauce is the key.

People should realise that its pride in your ethnicity that is the root of tribalism and ultimately racism. For example, this is exactly what ethnocentrism is. You want people to think : " No, i'm just taking pride and I'me proud of my culture and heritage" Even tho you contributed nothing to it. But what is actually happening is that you're a race supremacist. This video seems simple and innocent and isn't really hurting anyone. but that's where it starts. things escalate very easily from asian pride => AZN PRYDE MUTHERFUKKAZ! Be honest, Ge 100% honest, as a chinese person. you think chinese people are better, smarter, chinese food is the best, Chinese language and art is better. You see where i'm getting at? The same goes for everyone else. How easily we forget that Pride is a sin.

I am not chinese but i love this.

squats geng here!

你好! 谢谢你介绍筷子有关!.... 其实到现在对这个话题我很好奇!.... I was just recently wondering, what's may be the reason for Chinese people preferring (们们就其实多久发明筷子筷子! 🤔) chop sticks to fork? As I supposed, it was also determined by the mainly agricolture oriented lifestyle and row-materials provided!... 但是你将的故事很丰富有趣的！ 拜！😊 请问: but also of knife and spoon CHINESE people always along their History have been making use, haven't they?

We northeast,India belong to northern china....we are Mongoliad race

This antil-egg bias is all nonsense. The taste just like boiled eggs! But more so. I love them.

Learning one sentence and repeating it like a parrot, doesn't mean you can speak a language.

It's not only in public restrooms that most people use squat toilets. When you say most homes use seated toilets, that is completely untrue! Most people, by far, still have squat toilets at home. Many public restrooms are much better than they used to be. After SARS in 2003, many toilets were made cleaner. Also, hemorrhoids have nothing to do with how long you sit on a toilet!

Hey, I like your videos. I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers. I think you should make them more specific to a niche. Currently your videos are quite broad. Maybe focus on obscure Chinese food. I’d love to see more on that. Don’t give up! :) Also your pronunciation of “bidding” is slightly off.

This has to be the most obscure thing I’ve learnt in a long time 😄 But it’s always nice to get insight into other cultures.
