And there was only one stick, which was very convenient to mix food in oblong clay pots. At first there were just a long (much longer than the current) branches. It is impossible to establish the exact date when they became cutlery. But it happened in about 400-500 years BC.   

One of the factors that contributed to the spread of sticks was a sharp increase in the population. Had to increase the rate of food production, and to accelerate the pace of life in general. To cook faster, the Chinese began to cut it into strips, so do not waste time cutting and cook faster. Thus, the food became just the ideal shape and size to have it just wooden sticks.
