Modern chopsticks are made of bamboo, wood, glass and plastic, and different parts of mainland China are celebrated for their chopsticks, such as lacquer chopsticks from Fukien, Hangchow T'ien-chu chopsticks, and ivory chopsticks from Peking.

近代筷子則有竹、木、玻璃、塑膠製品等，大陸各省也有幾種名筷，如福建的漆筷、杭州的天竺筷、北平的牙筷等。至於台灣現在則是免洗竹筷當道！
