We mainly introduce banquets, family banquets, casual meals, working meals (including buffets) and other specific forms of etiquette norms.

1. Banquet, usually refers to a social gathering in the form of a meal. Can be divided into two types of formal banquets and informal banquets. Formal banquet, is a grand and formal feast. It is often for the banquet and carefully arranged, in the more upscale restaurants, or other specific locations, pay attention to the rehearsal, the atmosphere of the large-scale dinner activities. For the number of people present, dress, seat arrangement, the number of dishes, music, guests and hosts of speeches, etc., often have very strict requirements and pay attention to. Informal banquets, also known as banquets, also applies to formal interpersonal communication, but more often seen in daily interactions. Its form from the simple, favoring interpersonal communication, but do not pay attention to the scale, grade. Generally speaking, it only arranges the relevant personnel to participate in, do not invite the spouse, dress, seat arrangement, the number of dishes often do not make excessive requirements, and also do not arrange music performances and guests and hosts of the speech.

2. Family feast, that is, the banquet held at home. Relative to the formal banquet, the most important thing is to create a cordial, friendly, natural atmosphere, so that the guests and hosts of the banquet relaxed, natural, casual, and each other to enhance communication, deepen understanding, and promote trust.

Usually, family banquets often do not make special requirements on etiquette. In order to make the guests feel the importance of the host and friendly, basically by the hostess personally cooking, the host act as a waiter; or hostess cook, hostess act as a waiter, to *** with the hospitality guests, so that guests feel at home.

If you want to participate in the banquet, then you need to pay attention to, first of all, you must dress up neatly and generously, which is to others is also to their own respect.

You also have to be on time for the banquet according to the host's invitation. In addition to the reception, the general banquet guests are asked to arrive half an hour in advance. If you arrive a few minutes before the start of the party for any reason, it is not rude. But to be late is to show a lack of respect for the host, which is very rude.

When walking into the host's home or banquet hall, you should first greet the host. At the same time. For other guests, whether they recognize or not, should smile and nod or shake hands and say hello; the elders should take the initiative to stand up, give way and ask for peace; the female guests behave solemnly and courteously.

When entering the table, their seats should listen to the host or hospitality staff arrangements, because some banquets have long been arranged by the host. If the seat is not fixed, it should be noted that the seat facing the door is the upper seat, back to the door seat is the lower seat. You should let the high status, the old man and the lady to be seated first, and then you find the appropriate seat to sit down.

After taking your seat, sit upright, with your feet under your seat, don't stretch out or shake your legs, and don't lean your elbows on the edge of the table or put your hands on the backs of your neighbor's chairs. After being seated, do not look as if no one is there, and do not stare directly at the dishes on the plate, showing that you can't wait. You can talk briefly with your seatmates.

Dining should be formal, do not take off your coat, and do not take off your coat in the middle of the meal. The host usually signals the beginning of the meal. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the food, and you should be able to put it on your own. You should put the food on your own plate first, and then pick it up with your chopsticks and put it in your mouth. When putting food into your mouth, take small bites and lean your elbows outward, not to the sides, so as not to touch your neighbor. Don't make noise while eating, drinking, or drinking soup. When dining, if you want to use the condiments placed in front of other guests at the same table, first greet others before taking; if it is too far away, politely ask someone to do it for you. If you have to pick your teeth during the meal, use your left hand or handkerchief to cover it, and gently pick your teeth with a toothpick with your right hand.

Drinking is a sign of rudeness when you are trying to persuade others to drink, and when you are yelling and shouting, especially to those who are not able to drink, it is a sign of rudeness.

If the banquet is not over, but you have a good meal, do not feel free to leave the table, we must wait for the host and the guest of honor to get up and leave the table first, the other guests can leave the table in turn.

3. The location of the meal is often different, etiquette is also the least. As long as the diner is public-spirited and pays attention to hygiene, environment and order, there is no need to mind too much in other aspects.

4. Working meal, is a business relationship in business interactions with business partners, in order to make contact, maintain contact, exchange of information or negotiate business with a meal in the form of business gatherings. It is different from formal work meals, formal banquets and friends and family meals. It focuses on a kind of atmosphere, the intention is to meet friends over a meal, creating a relaxed, pleasant, harmonious and cordial atmosphere conducive to further contact. Is to continue the business activities in the form of meals, the table as a conference table or negotiation table. Working meal is generally smaller, usually held at noon, the host does not have to send formal invitations, guests do not have to formally reply to the host in advance, time, location can be temporarily selected. For hygiene reasons, it is best to adopt a separate meal system or communal chopsticks system.

During the working meal, the business conversation will continue. However, it is important to note that in this case, you should not make audio or video recordings or arrange for someone to take notes, as you would in a meeting room. If it is not necessary to take notes, you should get permission from the other party first. Do not act arbitrarily as if you do not trust the other party. If you find out that the other party is not happy about it, don't insist on it.

Chinese food, especially Chinese banquets specific time arrangements, according to people's dining habits, according to the different meal times, is divided into breakfast, lunch, dinner three. Determine the specific time of the formal banquet, mainly to comply with folk customs and practices. And the host should not only from their own objective ability to start, but also to pay attention to the main guest, to give priority to the invitees, especially the actual situation of the guest of honor, do not ignore this point. If possible, you should first consult with the guest of honor and try to make it convenient for both parties. At the very least, it is also important to provide several time options as much as possible to show their sincerity, and to have the necessary control over the exact length.

In addition, when it comes to social gatherings, the choice of dining location is also very important.

First of all, the environment should be elegant, the feast is not only to "eat", but also to "eat culture". If the dining place is too low grade, the environment is not good, even if the dishes are unique, will make the feast greatly reduced. Where possible, we must strive to choose a quiet, elegant place to eat.

Secondly, good hygiene conditions, in determining the location of the social gathering, must look at how the health situation. If the dining place is too dirty and messy, not only is hygiene a concern, but it will also spoil the appetite of the diners.

We also need to take into account the fact that it is not easy to get to and from the place, that there are no public transportation routes, that there is no parking lot, that there is no need to prepare the transportation for the diners, and that the place is equipped with all the necessary facilities.

According to our eating habits, rather than "please eat", it is better to say "please eat food". So the arrangement of the menu should not be sloppy. It mainly involves two aspects of ordering and preparing the menu.

When ordering, not only to eat, eat well, and must live within their means. If in order to talk about ostentation, show face, and in order to order food when the big points, features, and even point a flurry, not only on their own no good, but also will attract jokes. At this point, we must have in mind, and strive to do not overspend, do not spend, not wasteful. You can order a set meal or table. This cost is fixed, the grade and number of dishes is relatively fixed, save trouble. Can also be based on "personal budget", in the dining site temporary food. This is not only a greater degree of freedom, but also can take into account personal financial resources and taste.

The person invited to order, one is to tell the host, they have no special requirements, please feel free to point, which is actually the other side of the welcome. Or seriously point on a not too expensive, and not everyone taboo dishes, and then ask others to point. The other people point to the food, in any case, do not pick and choose.

A standard Chinese meal, no matter what the flavor, is served in the same order. Usually, the first cold dishes, followed by hot stir-fry, followed by the main course, then snacks and soups, and finally a fruit plate. If you serve savory snacks, you should serve savory soup; if you serve sweet snacks, you should serve sweet soup. Whether or not to eat a big dish, understand the standard order of Chinese food, not only help in the order of food cleverly with, but also can avoid because they do not understand and make a fool of themselves, make a joke.

Before the banquet, the hosts need to be in advance of the menu again and again to consider. In the preparation of the menu, the host should focus on which dishes can be used, which dishes can not be used.
