It is also a science to treat people to dinner and arrange seats. We are a country of etiquette, and there are naturally various etiquette rules on the wine table. Different banquet rows have different seats. Seating arrangement for family gatherings
Seating on the wine table for family gatherings is generally arranged according to seniority and age. That is, no matter who treats you, the oldest or oldest person should sit in the most prominent position facing the door; Next, they can be arranged one by one according to seniority or age. Sometimes we have to arrange a child that the old man likes next to the elder, usually from another generation.
If it is an elder's treat, one person may be assigned to sit near the door and be responsible for all kinds of hospitality. If it is a younger generation's treat, the treat will naturally sit near the door. Seating arrangement for friends' parties
Generally speaking, the seating arrangement for friends, classmates, comrades-in-arms and other parties on the wine table is the one who treats the guests and sits facing the door, which is also called "sitting east" or "owner of the manor". Sometimes the owner of the manor may give up this position to someone with a higher position or a high reputation, and the rest should be arranged in order of age. Because they are all friends, sometimes they don't care about these things. It doesn't matter who sits where, but others won't sit down in the position of the owner. Seating arrangement for receiving guests
Reception of guests belongs to the diplomatic category, and there may be more seats on the wine table. Generally speaking, the reception of guests is divided into host and guest. If it is a private room in a room, the seat facing the door is the host, that is, the host's home, that is, the host who treats guests.
All the guests are seated. On the right hand side of the host is the guest of honor, which is the protagonist of tonight's banquet, and on the left hand side is the deputy guest. If the host is not very familiar with the banquet party, there must be someone who is familiar with the host, and he will ask this person to arrange the position of the guest of honor and the deputy guest. Generally, when the guest is seated, other guests who come with him will be arranged.
The assistant is sitting opposite to the main escort. The one sitting on the right of the assistant is called "Sanbin" and the one on the left is called "Sibin". When the waiter pours the wine, it is clockwise, starting from the guest of honor, the host and the deputy guests arrive at once. When serving, it is also put on the tray, and then turned clockwise in front of the guest of honor.
If it is a formal occasion where you want to treat guests, such as entrusting someone to handle affairs, even if you don't need to talk with the host and the deputy, you should try to find a role that is familiar with the other party, or has a glib tongue and can drink like a deputy. This will get twice the result with half the effort, and everyone will have a good drink and talk about many things.
