Dining habits:

Chinese food is mostly cooked. Before the Tang Dynasty, our country adopted the system of small case kneeling and eating, which belonged to the system of sharing food. After the Tang Dynasty, the hinge system gradually prevailed in China. Dinner system can show the overall image of dishes with color, fragrance and taste, and set off the atmosphere, which is in line with the principle of "food must be respected". Sitting at a table at a dinner party is a harmonious atmosphere of reunion, and it is also convenient for the host to distribute dishes to the guests to show his hospitality. The habit of western food is to eat separately. Everyone has a piece of food, and each of them eats his own food. The host doesn't have to serve food to the guests. This way is sanitary, but in China people's view, it lacks a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

drinking style:

"No wine is enough", China people have the habit of toasting, persuading and filling wine, and the custom of * * * using a glass. For example, in the Yi area of China, one person drinks a glass of wine in turn, which is called "turning to wine". In the Uighur inhabited areas of Xinjiang, people drink alternately with a cup to show sincerity and friendship. If the guests don't enjoy drinking, the host will feel that he is not well served. China's drinking style is the same as his harmonious mentality. Westerners, on the other hand, drink a glass for their own use and drink freely. From the differences of Chinese and western food styles and habits, we can see that the harmony culture in China food culture embodies the harmony of taste, the harmony of atmosphere and the fusion of feelings.
