1. Set the dishes in a proper position. Dishes should be placed in front of small tableware at appropriate intervals. If there are several groups of customers sitting at a table, the dishes in front of each guest should be relatively concentrated, and there should be a certain interval between them to prevent mistakes. Chinese banquet dishes are generally placed from the middle of the table to the surrounding. The big platter of a Chinese banquet and the first dish in a big dish are usually placed in the middle of the table. If you use a turntable, you should first put it in front of the guest of honor. Soup dishes, such as tasting pots, casseroles, warm pots and candle cups, are usually placed in the middle of the table.

2. In the banquet, the face of the first dish should face the main theme, and the faces of other dishes should be turned around. The so-called noodles of dishes are the most suitable side for viewing. The noodles of all kinds of dishes are: plastic dishes with heads, such as roast suckling pig and cold dish proud as a peacock, whose heads are noodles; The plastic dishes with hidden heads, such as roast duck, eight-treasure duck, eight-treasure duck, etc., have a plump body to look at; In general dishes, the part with fine knives and beautiful colors is the face.

3. All kinds of dishes should be placed symmetrically and pay attention to plastic arts. Pay attention to the collocation and spacing of meat, color and obscenity when placing, and the distance between plates is equal.

4. In addition, according to the traditional etiquette and folk banquet custom, the whole chicken, duck and fish at the banquet must follow the custom of "chicken does not offer the head, duck does not offer the tail and fish does not offer the spine", that is, don't point the chicken head, duck tail and fish spine towards the guest of honor when serving. Especially when serving whole fish, the belly of the fish, not the ridge of the fish, should be oriented towards the guest of honor. Because the fish has few spines, it is tender and delicious, and it shows respect to the guest of honor. Moreover, more high-end dishes, dishes with special flavor, or every time a new dish is served, it must be placed in the position of guest of honor first.
