Fish, his homonym is surplus, which means that everything has surplus. The ancients said that there are fish every year and it means surplus every year.
Therefore, the appearance of a fish dish at a banquet can be regarded as the final finale. It is not easy to make a fish dish well. Putting this dish on the dinner table is also very particular.
For example, the fish head should be placed towards the most precious guests at the dinner table. When eating fish, you should not eat the fish head and tail first, but start with the fish body. Besides, you should put the fish on the plate and pick out all the thorns instead of picking them from your mouth, which will be unsightly.
Therefore, from the arrangement of a fish dish, we can see some cultures on the dining table. In addition to this, there are:
First, at the dining table, we should wait until all the dishes are served and everyone is full before we can start to move chopsticks, and we should start with the oldest person or the person with the highest status.
Second, don't stir with chopsticks. Don't knock on chopsticks, bowls, pots and other dishes in front of you. When eating vegetables, try to clamp them close to your position, and don't throw the half-eaten food back.
Third, when making a seat, guests or elders usually sit first, and then the younger generation. When seated, guests should be placed in the most precious position, and guests should be invited to order first and choose dishes according to their tastes.
Fourth, catering means having both food and drinks, usually tea and wine. When toasting, you must hold the cup with both hands. When touching the wine, your glass should be lower than the other person's glass mouth.
Fifth, if you have something to leave here, remember to tell the host, and don't leave without permission, so as not to cause bad influence.
Of course, there are other table manners, which can reflect a person's upbringing.
