Do they have spoons in China?

Published in Chinese Culture 1 min read

Yes, spoons are definitely used in China.

Spoons have a long history in China, dating back to the Shang Dynasty (2nd millennium B.C.). They were initially used both for cooking and eating. In fact, spoons were more common than chopsticks until around the 10th century A.D. Chinese spoons typically feature higher sides, allowing them to hold more liquid than Western soup spoons. These types of spoons remain a staple throughout Asia.

So, to reiterate, spoons are a common and historical utensil in China.
