First, the etiquette of seating. First, invite the guests to sit on the table, then invite the elderly to sit next to the guests, take their seats in turn, and finally sit in the seat closest to the door. If you take care of children, arrange them beside you after you sit down. When you sit down, you should enter from the left side of the chair. After you sit down, you should sit up straight and don't bow your head, so that the distance between the dining table and your body is 11 ~ 21 cm. Don't move chopsticks after you sit down, let alone make any noise, and don't get up and walk around. If there is anything, you should say hello to the host. Before moving chopsticks, you should express your appreciation to the host or cook for his superb craftsmanship, thoughtful arrangement and warm invitation.

Second, when eating, please ask guests and elders to move chopsticks first, and add less food each time, and eat less food far away from you. Don't make any noise when eating, and don't make any noise when drinking soup. It's best to sip it with a spoon, instead of holding the bowl to your mouth. Drink the soup when it is too hot and cold, and don't drink it while blowing. Some people like to chew food hard when eating, especially crunchy food, and make a clear sound. This is against the etiquette requirements, especially when eating with others, we should try our best to prevent this phenomenon. When some people drink soup, they also blow hard with their mouths to make a nagging sound, which is also not in line with the etiquette requirements.

Third, don't burp and make other noises when eating. If there are involuntary noises such as sneezing and bowel sounds, you should say something like "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry" and "Please forgive me" to apologize.

fourthly, if you want to serve dishes to guests or elders, you'd better use public chopsticks, or you can send dishes far away from them. According to the custom of our Chinese nation, dishes are served one by one. If there are leaders, old people and guests at the same table, whenever a new dish is served, please ask them to move chopsticks first, or take turns asking them to move chopsticks first to show their respect and attention.

Fifth, when eating fish heads, fishbones, bones, etc., don't spit out or throw them on the ground. Slowly take them to your plate by hand, or put them next to your dining table or on paper prepared in advance.

Sixth, we should take time to chat with people around us in a timely manner to harmonize the atmosphere. Don't eat with your head down, regardless of others, don't gobble up a meal, and don't drink too much.

Seventh, you'd better not pick your teeth at the dining table. If you want to pick your teeth, you should cover your mouth with a napkin.

Eighth, we should make clear the main tasks of this meal. Nowadays, the sea of business is surging, and many businesses are negotiated at the dinner table. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify whether to talk about business, contact feelings or eat. If it is the former, we should pay attention when arranging seats, and put the seats of the main negotiators close to each other to facilitate conversation or dredge emotions; If it is the latter, just pay attention to common sense etiquette. Focus on appreciating the dishes.

Ninth, when you leave the table at last, you must express your thanks to your host, or invite your host to your home later to show your thanks.

In short, when dining with guests, elders and other people, we should make them feel relaxed, happy and harmonious. In ancient China, there were so-called standing and standing, sitting and sitting, eating and sleeping. The dining etiquette mentioned here refers to eating. It is necessary to make eating elegant, which is not only in line with the requirements of etiquette, but also conducive to the inheritance and development of Chinese food culture.
