The fork is a kind of tableware, which is used by auxiliary users to bring food into their mouths. In ancient times, most Europeans still liked to cut food into pieces with a knife and put it into their mouth with their hands.

In the 18th century, it was the "patent" of the French nobles to eat with a fork with four forks. This was because people who used forks were regarded as "different". It symbolized status and luxury. Later, more and more people used forks. With the continuous expansion of European colonists, the fork spread to other continents, and finally became a symbol of Western civilization.
