Basic knowledge of Chinese food etiquette is as follows:

1, eating Chinese food, first of all, pay attention to the use of chopsticks. The main eating tool of Chinese dining is chopsticks, the standard posture of holding chopsticks. Holding the chopsticks too high or too low, or changing fingers to hold the chopsticks is not standardized.

When using chopsticks to hold food, do not wave them over the dish, do not pierce the dish with the chopsticks, do not hold the chopsticks in your mouth, do not let the soup drip down, do not stir the dish with the chopsticks, do not use the chopsticks as a toothpick, and do not use the chopsticks to point at others. When you need to use a spoon, you should put down your chopsticks first.

2. Next, pay attention to how you eat. The first thing you need to do is to eat in an elegant manner, don't gobble, and don't eat too much food each time you import it, you should eat it in small bites. When savoring the food and drinks that have been imported, chew slowly and preferably keep your mouth closed to avoid making noise.

When drinking soup, don't sip vigorously. If the soup is too hot, wait or use a spoon, but don't blow it with your mouth. Once the food or drink has been imported, it is generally not advisable to spit it out again unless it is a bone, fishbone or vegetable residue. When you need to deal with bone spurs, don't spit them out, cover your mouth with a napkin and use chopsticks to take them out and put them on your own plate or a spare plate, don't put them on the table.

Don't open your mouth to talk when you have food in your mouth. If you are asked by others and have food in your mouth, wait until the food is swallowed and then talk back. Throughout the eating process, be enthusiastic to talk with the table, eyes do not always stare at the table, showing a gluttonous look.

3. Finally, pay attention to the use of toothpicks. Formal banquets, should not use toothpicks in public, not to mention nails picking food in the teeth, if you feel the need to go directly to the restroom to get rid of. At the table must use a toothpick, it is best to use your hand to cover your mouth and gently pick, while talking while picking teeth or walking and running while picking teeth are not elegant.
