And this seems to be the most common but the Chinese food, dining etiquette is a lot to pay attention to.

Chinese dining etiquette 1

At the beginning of the party, the host is generally the first toast. At this time should stop talking, not eat, pay attention to listen. After the speech, the host greeted, you can start eating.

When eating, we should pay attention to the elegant behavior, chewing food, do not make a sound; food is too hot, you can wait to eat, do not use your mouth to blow; fish spikes, bones, vegetable scraps, etc. can not be directly outside the spit, to use a napkin to cover the mouth, use chopsticks to take out, or spit on a fork and spoon in the dish.

The napkin should be opened and laid on the lap before dining, and then folded and placed on the right side of the plate at the end of the meal, not placed on the chair, or folded squarely and mistakenly thought not to have been used. The napkin can only be used to wipe your mouth, not your face or sweat. If the waiter sends you a napkin to wipe your face, put it back in the original container after wiping.

If I can not eat or do not like to eat the dishes, when the waiter or the host of the dish, do not gesture, do not refuse, you can take a small amount to put in the plate, the well that "thank you, enough". Not to the taste of the Lei, do not show a look of embarrassment. As the host of the banquet, there is no need to say overly modest words. For foreign guests who have been in China for a long time, it is not necessary to say that this is a famous Chinese wine or dish. When giving food to the guests, you should use the communal tableware to give up the food, and never use your own tableware to give up the food.

Note the use of toothpicks. Formal banquets, should not be used in public toothpicks, not to mention fingernails picking food in the teeth, if you feel the need, you can go directly to the restroom to get rid of. At the table must use a toothpick, it is best to cover your mouth with your hand and gently pick your teeth, while talking while picking your teeth or eating while picking your teeth are not elegant.

10. Across the chopsticks

In China, if you stop eating for a while, you can put your chopsticks on a plate or spoon. If you put your chopsticks across the plate, it means that you are drunk and full and no longer eat, but you don't clean up the dishes, which means that "people don't accompany the chopsticks to accompany the king". This kind of chopsticks etiquette has existed in China since ancient times. Cross-chopsticks etiquette is generally used between peers or friends who are more familiar with each other. In order to show respect to the elders, the younger generation must wait for the elders to cross the chopsticks first before they can follow to do so.

The use of chopsticks by Chinese people has been passed down from ancient times, and the use of chopsticks in daily life is very delicate. The correct way to use chopsticks is to hold them in the right hand, with the thumb and forefinger pinching the upper end of the chopsticks, and the other three fingers naturally bending to hold the chopsticks, and the ends of the chopsticks must be aligned. During the process, the chopsticks should be placed neatly on the right side of the bowl before the meal, and vertically in the center of the bowl after the meal.
