Tableware selection

The differences between Chinese and western food cultures are also reflected in dining utensils. China people's tableware is mainly chopsticks supplemented by spoons, as well as cups, plates, bowls and saucers of various shapes.

China pays attention to the coordination between the shape, size and color of tableware and dishes, and pays attention to "beauty". Exquisite food should be matched with exquisite utensils, and attention should be paid to harmony. Dishes and utensils should be harmonious in color decoration, form and space. Diet should be treated as an artistic activity, not only to have a good meal, but also to get a beautiful artistic enjoyment from it.

Westerners mostly use metal knives and forks, as well as various cups, plates, cups and saucers. However, western food does not emphasize the artistic beauty as China people do in the loading and dispensing of dishes, and the types of tableware and the shapes of dishes are rather monotonous. In short, Westerners focus on the content of food, while China people emphasize the form of dishes and the feelings gained from them.

With the improvement of the quality of life, China's dining utensils are appearing with a new face of "specialization, diversification and combination", adding new ideas and interest to daily family dining. The West has also begun to pay attention to the design of tableware, and various styles of tableware have appeared in the market. These tableware usually have colors and patterns, and appear in various styles, which are ornamental and interesting, and they are sold as gifts.
