1, polite words

Chinese people pay attention to modesty, and in socializing with others, they emphasize "humility and respect for others", which is regarded as a kind of virtue, and this is a phenomenon of politeness that is rich in Chinese culture. When other people praise us, we will often be self-deprecating to show that we are modest and courteous. Western countries do not have such cultural habits, when they are praised, they will always be very happy to say "Thank you" to show acceptance.

Even when the table is full of delicious food, the hosts of Chinese banquets are always accustomed to say a few words of politeness, such as "more tolerance". Sometimes the host will use chopsticks to clip food into the guest's bowl, and use various methods to persuade the guest to eat more food and drink more wine.

In Western countries, people emphasize respect for personal rights and privacy, so they don't make things difficult for others. When you eat, they will never force you to eat whatever you want, and they will not persuade their guests to drink by any means, not until you are drunk.
