There are a lot of rules about eating Chinese food etiquette. Pay more attention to the rules at the table. It is easy to show your own temperament and cultivation. Posture, eating, speech, and the use of tableware, etc., in Chinese etiquette have a lot of strict norms, the following through the civilized etiquette point of view, to talk about Chinese dining dining etiquette. As a diner, whether a guest or host, at the table should show good cultivation, which is known to everyone. In order not to be laughed at by the people around, or not to make everyone embarrassed by you, we should have an understanding of some of the rules of the table, so that we can prepare and enjoy the Western-style food can be coped with calmly, decently and generously. Posture First of all, at the table, standardized posture is very important. For example, you should sit in a stable position and not sway back and forth. Imagine you have a mouse behind you and a kitten lying on your knee - keep your back straight and your knees flat. For both men and women, it's unattractive and rude to have your legs up during a meal. Furthermore, if you stilt your legs, your napkin won't lie flat on your lap and your clothes will be easily wrinkled. In addition, if you move your legs, you may bump into the table and cause the tableware to shake, which can lead to unexpected problems. There are many embarrassing and unpleasant situations that are caused by such inappropriate behavior. Should be avoided similar action: the legs open into a figure of eight, stretching, loosening the belt, shaking his head, stretching his arms to do gymnastics, and so on, these postures are very rude, ungainly. In the U.S. or the U.K., when dining with one hand, the other hand can be placed on the knee. In continental Europe it is different, both hands are to be retained on the table. But be careful: you should not support your body with your arms and lean on the table, nor should you cross your arms over your chest and just rest your wrists lightly on the table. Fingers should rest naturally and smoothly on the table, and you should not flick or play with cutlery on the table. It is also important to note that you should not remove your shoes, even if you are sitting in a chair for too long and your legs and feet feel uncomfortable, and that you should keep your chest at an appropriate distance from the table, not too close and not too far away. Eating When eating, usually hold a knife or spoon in your right hand, a fork in your left hand, and the cup should be held in your right hand. Don't get your body too close to the plate. Use cutlery to bring the food to your mouth instead of lifting the plate or bowl, and no one will come to grab the food on your plate. Chinese people emphasize chewing and swallowing slowly, while Westerners take a bite and then send a bite. When food is brought into the mouth, it should be chewed with the mouth closed, and when there is food in the mouth, it should not be stuffed with food or alcohol or other beverages. In general, food should be swallowed as it comes into the mouth. Even if the food is not to your liking, such as too spicy or salty, you should remain calm and try to let the food sink in quickly, and then immediately drink some wine or other beverages to help alleviate the pain, and never spit it out, which is not only unsightly, but also embarrassing to others in the room. However, in special circumstances, such as confirming that the food has a rotten odor, of course, we can not swallow, we must spit out, but to deal with it calmly and steadily, there is no need to panic, with cutlery or napkins and other things to cover from the mouth can be removed. If necessary, you can also signal, and then leave the table to the bathroom and other places to solve. Meals, taboo mouth or body sounds, in addition to the normal knife and fork, clinking glasses and the sound of conversation, other eccentricities, obnoxious sounds should be avoided. Meal or after the meal should not burp, barfing. Hiccups, Westerners are absolutely taboo, think the same as farting on the table as disgusting, is a kind of rude behavior. However, if you are used to it or can't control yourself and burp accidentally, you should immediately say "sorry" or "excuse me" to the people around you in order to seek everyone's understanding. Do not leave stains on your cup. Wipe your mouth with a napkin before and after drinking. It is not necessary to rub it vigorously on the mouth, and here is a special reminder for women: to avoid lipstick on the napkin, it is best to put a small piece of napkin in the napkin. If you do not want to drink wine, you can politely say, "I don't drink wine, thank you." Don't cover your glass with your hand. If the waiter or host toasts to you and you want to continue drinking, you can politely thank him for the service of the toast without having to move the glass, or hand the glass to the other party or hold it high, generally speaking the glass is left where it is, but convenient for the service of others. In addition, the following points also need to pay attention to: 1: not at the table in public make-up, make-up or finishing clothes. This should be done in the restroom, not at the table. 2:When eating soup food, avoid the sound of sucking into the mouth; if the soup is warm, wait a moment before enjoying it; do not lift the plate and pour it directly into the mouth. 3:When talking, put your knife and fork on your plate. Do not gesticulate and talk with your knife and fork in your hand, and do not put your knife and fork up; this can be intimidating and there is a real danger of injury to yourself or others. 4: Do not laugh or shout uncontrollably at the table. 5:Do not floss your teeth in public without covering up. Put one hand in front of your mouth to cover the food you are picking out of your mouth, and always use a toothpick, not your fingers or a knife or fork. 6: Eat bread and remember: do not use the bread to dip the plate of soup (especially the status or sophisticated ladies should avoid such behavior); bread should be placed in a special small plate or tablecloth, not on the edge of your dinner plate; butter the bread, a small piece of bread on a little butter, with the hands of the food, do not use a knife to cut or teeth to bite; bread is only eaten into the soup or a first plate of food. 7: Don't use your own utensils to pick up food for others, scoop soup or choose other food. The above is a summary of the civilized etiquette of eating Chinese food.
