The seats at the banquet are not to be taken casually: there is a strict hierarchy between the main and the secondary, the noble and the lowly. First of all, you can't enter the table alone, but have to step in together with other guests. The other side of the entrance is the upper seat. There are three most important seats; the middle seat of the upper seat is for the host - the inviter or bill payer of the banquet. On the right hand side was the guest of honor, the most distinguished person at the table. The left side was the next most important. Both sides and each other are accompanied by guests and secondary guests. In fact, the wine table in the hotel has long been marked: a bird folded in a glass with a cloth and silk, with the bird's head facing is the upper seat. The host is the soul of the table, send to welcome guests, add food, pay the bill, give orders.
The first cup of wine is filled and the host rises to toast everyone. This is a dry mouth, do not drink, the first cup can not escape the dry. Show respect. Later, they will attack each other, self-defense, depending on the skills of each person.
People toast you, it is best to stand up. And then give you more wine, with the index and middle finger on the table knocked two times, to show appreciation. Stand up and walk around, don't pass in front of people's chairs, you should go around the back.
Soup pots are not to be stirred with chopsticks; use a soup ladle. Some tables use public chopsticks, some do not. Can not just use their own chopsticks to others, the best way to turn the round table, can not be turned, then the dishpan, or dish with each other. If you can't turn the table, pass the dishpan or plate to the other party. Don't hold the food yourself, but follow the host's instructions. Do not speak into the bowl or plate. If you do, cover your mouth lightly with your hand. If you are served shrimp, steak, etc., a glass container of hand sanitizer will inevitably be brought to you. Many people have made a fool of themselves by drinking hand-washing water as soup, and complained that the hotel was petty, saying that "clear soup" in which not a pinch of salt can not be put. Do not dance and talk loudly at the table. Spittle will make the guests unhappy. Some dishes are divided according to the head, one person a piece (lump, only), do not think that the flavor is good, robbing others of the target. If you look like a slanderer, people will look down on you. Fish is eaten wherever it is, do not turn over the edge.
The climax of the wine table is when a few drunkards meet, what "shallow feelings, lick a lick; deep feelings, a mouthful of boredom." Foul language, giddy paragraph out of the mouth. People with status don't do that. Do not cough at the table, spit; toothpicks picking teeth, should cover the mouth with your hand; do not pour their own glass of wine to other people's glasses.
