No matter whether it is Chinese food or western food, it is nothing more than two aspects of etiquette. First, it comes from its own etiquette norms, such as proper dining and elegant manners; The other is the etiquette norms outside of eating, such as menu, music, environment and so on.

Chinese food etiquette is an important part of Chinese food culture. To learn Chinese etiquette, we should mainly pay attention to mastering the rules and skills in six aspects, such as the way of eating, the choice of time and place, the arrangement of menus, the arrangement of seats, the use of tableware and the manners of eating.

several common dining methods: we mainly introduce the etiquette norms in specific forms such as banquets, family banquets, light meals and working meals (including buffets).

1. Banquet usually refers to a social gathering in the form of dining. It can be divided into formal banquet and informal banquet. A formal banquet is a grand and formal banquet. It is often a large-scale dinner event that is carefully arranged for banquets, held in high-end hotels or other specific locations, and pays attention to ostentation and extravagance and atmosphere. For the number of people present, dress, seating arrangement, the number of dishes, music performance, guest and host speeches, etc., there are often very strict requirements and attention. Informal banquets, also known as informal banquets, are also suitable for formal interpersonal communication, but they are more common in daily communication. Its form is simple, focusing on interpersonal communication, but not on scale and grade. Generally speaking, it only arranges relevant personnel to attend, does not invite spouses, and often does not make excessive demands on dress, seat arrangement and the number of dishes, and does not arrange music performances and speeches by the guests and the host.

2. A family dinner is a banquet held at home. Compared with a formal banquet, the most important thing for a family banquet is to create a cordial, friendly and natural atmosphere, so that the host and the guest attending the banquet can be relaxed, natural and casual, enhance mutual communication, deepen understanding and promote trust.

usually, there are no special requirements for family banquets. In order to make the guests feel the attention and friendliness of the host, the hostess basically cooks in person and the host acts as a waiter; Or the host cooks, and the hostess acts as a waiter to entertain the guests, making them feel at home.

If you want to attend a banquet, you need to pay attention. First of all, you must dress yourself neatly and generously, which is a respect for others and yourself.

also go to dinner on time at the time invited by the host. Except for the reception, guests are usually invited to arrive half an hour in advance for the general banquet. It is not impolite to arrive a few minutes before the banquet for some reason. But being late is disrespectful to the host, which is very rude.

when you enter the host's house or banquet hall, you should greet the host first. Meanwhile. For other guests, whether you know them or not, you should smile, nod or shake hands. Take the initiative to stand up and give your seat to the elderly; Be solemn and polite to the female guests.

When you are seated, your seat should be arranged by the host or the waiter, because some banquet hosts have already arranged it. If the seat is not fixed, it should be noted that the seat facing the door is the upper seat, and the seat facing the door is the lower seat. Senior people, senior citizens and ladies should be seated first, and then find appropriate seats for themselves.

After sitting, sit upright, keep your feet under your seat, don't straighten out or keep shaking your legs, don't lean your elbows against the edge of the table, or put your hands on the back of the chair next to you. After taking a seat, don't look like no one is watching, and don't stare at the dishes on the plate and look impatient. You can have a simple conversation with your fellow guests.

when eating, you should dress formally, don't take off your coat, and don't take off your coat halfway. Generally, it will be carried out after the host signals to start. The action of eating should be gentle, and the action of picking vegetables should be light. And put the food in your own small dish first, and then pick it up with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. When delivering food into your mouth, take a sip, lean your elbows outward, and don't open them to the sides to avoid touching your neighbor. Don't make noise when eating, drinking or drinking soup. When eating, if you want to use condiments placed in front of other guests at the same table, say hello to others before taking them; If it's too far, please ask someone to do it for you politely. If you have to pick your teeth when eating, cover it with your left hand or handkerchief, and gently pick your teeth with a toothpick in your right hand.

When drinking, it's impolite to give others advice and drink wine blindly, especially to those who can't drink well.

if the banquet is not over, but you have finished your meal, don't leave the table at will. The other guests can leave the table in turn only after the host and guest have finished their meal.

3. a light meal, that is, a common meal. The place where you eat a light meal is often different, and the etiquette is the least. As long as diners pay attention to public morality and hygiene, environment and order, they don't have to mind too much in other aspects.

4. working lunch is a business gathering held by partners who have business relations in business communication in the form of meals for contact, keeping in touch, exchanging information or negotiating business. It is different from formal working meals, formal banquets and dinners of relatives and friends. It focuses on an atmosphere, which is intended to create a relaxed, pleasant, harmonious and harmonious atmosphere conducive to further contact with friends through dinner. It is a business activity that continues in the form of dining, and the dining table is used as a conference table or negotiating table. Working meals are generally small in scale and usually held at noon. The host does not need to send formal invitations, and the guests do not need to give a formal reply to the host in advance. The time and place can be temporarily selected. For the sake of hygiene, it is best to adopt the method of sharing meals or using public chopsticks. While having a working meal, we will continue our business conversation. But at this time, it should be noted that in this case, you should not record or video, or arrange a special person to record, as in the conference room. When it is not necessary to make records, you should first obtain the consent of the other party. Never go your own way as if you don't trust each other. When you find that the other party is dissatisfied with this, you can't insist on doing so. Working lunch is a "business negotiation meal" between the host and the guest, so it is not suitable for people outside the theme to join. If you happen to meet an acquaintance, you can say hello or make a brief introduction with the people at the same table. But don't be presumptuous and leave your friends behind. In case someone who doesn't know enough "lingers", you can politely order the guests to leave "You are very busy, so I won't take up your precious time any more" or "We'll contact you tomorrow. I will call you on my own initiative. "

5. buffet. It is a modern way of dining that draws lessons from the West in recent years. It does not arrange seats, nor does it arrange a unified menu. It displays all the staple foods, dishes and drinks that can be provided together, and chooses, processes and enjoys them according to the personal hobbies of diners.

In this way, you can save money and pay little attention to etiquette, which is convenient for both host and guest. Everyone can do whatever they want when eating. It is also the wisest choice to arrange meals in this way when holding large-scale activities and entertaining a large number of guests.
