What do you think of the so-called wine table culture? On the surface, this question is about things related to wine, but in fact, it contains the content of Chinese humanities and etiquette.

First of all, wine culture is a special form of culture, and has its unique position in traditional Chinese culture. In thousands of years of civilization, wine has permeated almost every area of social life. As a special commodity, wine has added rich colors to people's lives. There is a Chinese saying that a banquet is difficult without wine, and a gift is not a gift without wine. It means that if the banquet is not served with wine, it cannot be a banquet; and the communication between people without wine is not good to treat each other with courtesy. It can be seen that the culture of the wine table to pay attention to a lot.

The culture of the wine table, pay attention to the composition of the personnel, when relatives sit together, the etiquette of the toast is very clear respect for the elders, the size of the generation, the last to drink with the younger generation ****. When friends get together, like-minded, the exchange of topics are also said to be drinking. Classmates reunion, the table culture of the deeper learning, in addition to narrative friendship, interspersed with social conditions, life experience, career family, etc., are included in it, the table absolutely can not have each other's words, pay attention to mutual respect, mutual respect, mutual tolerance, avoid striving to win, lost the peace, lost the friendship of classmates. That is, grandchildren and grandchildren sit together to eat a banquet, the culture of the table must also pay attention to the great-grandfather, grandparents, fathers, sons, grandchildren, absolutely not messed up, respect for elders, love and care for elders, mutual respect and mutual love, according to the ability to drink in moderation. Love your body and cherish your life.

China's drinking culture has a long history, a long history, and has been passed down to the present day, and has flourished. Walking down the street everywhere you can see restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, concert halls, gathering House, etc., the time to the meal, the hotel door in front of a sea of people, the court like a market, full of guests.

According to legend, wine is the essence of the grains, often drink people easy. Every day two, three two, walk like the wind. The first time I saw a friend, I was invited to a restaurant. The food is served, the cups increase the friendship. Friends and family reunion, business development, meet the boss, New Year's festivals, and so on. Can not be separated from the wine table culture. On various occasions, entertaining which type of characters, have to be wise to deal with. If the response is not good, counterproductive. Is to drink a lot of wine, the final effect is not good. It also loses the significance of organizing a banquet. Therefore, the Chinese culture of drinking table is profound and has a long history. We should seriously study and learn.

Comprehensively, we should pay special attention to the research and study of Chinese wine table culture and development. With the wisdom of the mind to deal with various occasions of wine table hospitality. So that guests, customers, friends, relatives are happy, everyone is satisfied, friendship deepens, unbreakable, parting often think, deep love like the sea.

The culture of the table and the culture of wine a word difference, but the significance of the fallacy of a thousand miles.

In China, almost every place has its own table culture - the rules of drinking. These so-called table cultures all have the **** same purpose, which is to make you drink more, drink more, get drunk, drink down. So I think this kind of drinking table culture is not worth promoting.

I have a good buddy, the first year to go to the old father-in-law's home to go new relatives, almost because of this table culture sent a small life. The first year I went to my husband's house, I was almost killed because of this culture. This brother married a year ago, can be said to have a daughter-in-law and New Year's Eve, good thing to catch up with, the newlyweds busy plus New Year's Eve preparations, New Year's Eve on the tired and cold, the next day early in the morning and daughter-in-law and drove to the old man's home to pay tribute to the New Year, his father-in-law's brothers 6, the buddy is the youngest son-in-law, can be described as a delicate guest ah.

Mother-in-law and a few aunts busy all morning, ready for three tables full of food, father-in-law brothers are not counted, worried about accompanying the new guests, and called the neighbors can drink the students over to accompany. The first time, the brother wanted to drink a little less on the grounds that he could not drink because of the cold, but the result was a persuasion, into the seat on the drink.

The rules on his father-in-law's side is that the new guests to the door to toast to the elders, the younger generation to toast to the new guests, and for the sake of the show of mind, to toast to the elders with a wine cup (elders can not drink more than the older), the younger generation to toast to the new guests to use a teacup, a teacup can be half a kilogram of wine, of course, will not be poured full of a cup of wine, but a cup of two, his wife's family has more than one cousin, and more children so that the elders more than one, a circle is not yet down, this buddy! He called out that he could not drink any more, and five or six of his juniors served wine, which added up to one catty. But this is the first time the juniors to their own toast, how also have to follow ah, so his wife said less pour a little side to him to take a big teacup, to take the first drink of wine to drink the rest of a small mouth pouring cup slowly drink.

Thanks to this big teacup, so that he can temporarily drink a lot less, so the elders toasted him to drink half a catty, his father-in-law here is another rule, that is, the first time a new guest to come to the elders to the new guest to add wine, that is, each elder to pour some wine at will, meaning that couples long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, this wine must be drank. Several elders this added wine almost half a catty , so down, the two sets of people pouring wine is almost a catty, in front of the buddies.

Originally this time he drank almost, usually half a catty. This day also added with excitement, happy, while joking and laughing while the elders add half a catty of wine and drink down, up to this point, then, basically will be drunk but not to the problem. The key is that the gang called him aunt of the younger generation, a look at buddies to the elders to add all the wine drink, immediately began to coaxing, to aunt to their toast to the wine also to drink. His wife in her mother's home is too embarrassed to protect her husband, did not stop the elders pestered, just said that buddies have drunk too much and so on, really no way, buddies only then drank, and saw that has been holding the table to sit unsteadily, end of the glass of wine hand are shaking, this time the mother-in-law came out. Or mother-in-law love son-in-law, of course, first of all is the love of the daughter, a look at the daughter embarrassed to block, son-in-law is not good to shirk, from the kitchen came over to a pass to solve the problem, took over the son-in-law's glass of wine for him to drink.

The wife drove him home, and has been sleeping to the night or not wake up, the family rushed him to the hospital, the doctor said that alcohol poisoning, luckily sent to the hospital, if you sleep at home for a night, not sure how it will be, serious, if the vomit blocked the airway, in the state of drunkenness and drowsiness is easy to asphyxiate and die. In this way, this buddy in the hospital infusion for three days before slowly recovered, which also have to thank his mother-in-law blocked half a teacup of wine, or not so fast recovery.

This is the answer of @plowreadingwritings, I hope the questioner likes it, and welcome friends to point out the comments.

Grassroots such as me, was invited to the dinner party of the opportunity is very little, once there is also can not not go, otherwise it is not harmonious. Once you go, the wine must not drink, or pain. But the world is drunk and I wake up alone seems unreasonable, more good people to get to the bottom of the matter ......

There are three famous people on the table can not be spared, that is, the so-called "take tablets, wear glasses, tie pigtails." These people do not seem to be able to drink, he practically proved that they are "people can not look like, sea water can not be bucket amount", generally have the amount of alcohol. At the table there are like to drink but never let themselves drunk, there are also drunk but do not make a fuss, which are still relatively good. As for the people who make a big deal out of drinking, I don't like them, to be honest. But also do not know whether these people are really often have if you can not say, worthy of sympathy, or the truth is that they want to make trouble, it is not good. Anyway, the culture of the table is very rich, no matter whether it is language or socialize with the appropriate only good!

The culture of the table actually began before drinking and eating

Who and who drinks

It is the decision of the wine can not drink out of the culture

Laughing and having a great scholar

To and from the no white ding

In fact, the ancients have long been determined

Eating, drinking, and laughing at the mast is the same

And who drinks

And who drinks

And who drinks

The culture of the table is very rich, no matter what the language or socialization with decent.

With whom to talk and laugh

In fact, when writing invitations

has been eight or nine

On the wine table, there is indeed a very rich cultural phenomenon.

There is a whole set of rules at the table, from seating, to a variety of etiquette, to the order of the toast, the toast method, are full of seemingly no rules, in fact, is hidden in the very important rules.

For example, the officialdom, sometimes the highest position to sit in the main seat, the other according to the position order; some of the oldest seniority, the highest position to sit in the main seat, the other according to the order of arrangement. Toast also has rules, such as some of the first toast to the main seat, but sometimes the main seat with a wife, it should be the first to the main seat of the wife of the toast - this is called Ms. first; sometimes the first to sit in the seniority of the oldest first toast, and then only on the position of the seniority; sometimes the main seat will be modest, so that the first to the guests of the faraway toast, and so on.

For example, in the shopping mall, basically the same as the officialdom, are according to the identity of the heavy or not, the importance of the degree of ranking, the first toast.

The folk are different, generally according to age, generation, master, guest to rank. Meaning: sometimes by age, that is, the older sitting in the main seat; sometimes by seniority, that is, senior sitting in the main seat; sometimes according to the main guest, usually the guest sitting in the main seat. But there is also the saying that the guest does not overwhelm the master, so there is this custom is the master sitting in the main seat.

When asked to do something, the guest should let the invitee sit in the main seat, their own under the accompaniment.

At the table, customs vary from place to place. For example, in some places, the second seat to the main seat to toast, but in some places it is the main seat first stood up for everyone to toast, and then everyone in turn one by one to the main seat to toast.

On the table, generally who organizes the drinking game who pay the bill. But there are special cases, the organizer does not necessarily pay the bill, or secretly trust people to do things, or the organizer's juniors, or the organizer's subordinates.

There is also the existence of two factions at the same table, it will be arranged side by side with the two main seats; toast, generally the first to the other side of the main seat toast.

Subordinates, juniors, the next seat for the leadership or elders drink, to drink dry, the other superiors or elders can not drink dry; similarly, subordinates, juniors, the next seat for the leadership or elders toast, they have to drink dry, the other side can not drink dry.

General touch of wine, both sides to drink dry. The other side is the leader or elders, you can not drink dry.

Ha ha! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that!

The culture of wine table is also profound, learning is never-ending ah!

The culture of drinking is also very profound.

The most important thing to remember is that it's not just about the way you look at it.

Wine table culture is unique to China. Speaking of table culture, we must talk about China's dining culture and etiquette, because the table culture is developed from the dining culture, is a part of the dining culture, there is no dining culture, wine culture is difficult to reach the hall of elegance.

China's dining etiquette has a long history. According to the literature, at least in the Zhou Dynasty, food culture has formed a set of quite a perfect system, especially by the praise and esteem of Confucius and become an important aspect of the performance of the successive dynasties of the great country style, etiquette of the state, the civilization of the important aspects.

Ancient banquet etiquette, more complicated and complex, there is a set of very elaborate procedures: the host folded invitations to invite, temporary welcome guests with the door. When the guests arrived, mutual greetings, introduced into the living room to sit, honoring the refreshments. Guests to all lead guests into the seat, to the left as the top, as the chief, relative to the first seat for the second seat, the first seat under the third seat, the second seat under the fourth seat. Guests are seated, by the host of the toast to let the food, the guests to thank the courtesy. During the banquet, wine and food should be poured to honor the elders and the guest of honor first, and the host last. At the end of the banquet, the guests are guided to sit in the living room and served tea until they say goodbye. This set of traditional banquet etiquette is still intact in some places, such as Shandong, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Talking about the culture of the table, we all have a personal experience, "wine culture" is also an old and fresh topic. Modern people's socializing, most of them are completed on the table, no wine is difficult to talk about things, see the efficacy and role of wine.

Wine as a medium of communication, welcoming guests, gathering friends, communicating with each other, passing on friendship and so on have played a unique role, that is, since the family reunion is also inseparable from the wine. The culture of the table has become a deep-rooted dining culture of the Chinese people.

But what to grasp a "degree", things will be contrary, this simple truth, everyone understands, especially at the table, more should remain sober, excessive drinking not only with things do not help, but also against the wishes. Personally, I think, no matter what drinking occasions, more or less people, how the mood, should be moderate, do not over-drinking, and can not be alcoholism as drinking, and do not persuade each other endlessly. Ushered in, friends get together, reunions, social intercourse, family reunions, etc. inevitably do not drink, "no wine is not a seat", which is an old saying, but in real life, but also really need to do so. However, at the table to grasp the "degree", is very important, often because of this "degree" did not grasp the good, resulting in a lot of trouble, and even pay the price of life.

The culture of the table in the end is still the culture of food and drink in the wine culture. Toast is an important ritual in the dining culture, an important program of etiquette, is a gentle and elegant mutual etiquette. Originally, in the interaction of the lower to the upper, the toast is not mandatory, but in the upper to the lower back to the toast, often with a great deal of mandatory, derived from a culture of persuasion. When the culture of persuading people to drink is in full bloom, the culture of wine is a bit out of shape.

In general, it seems that the culture of the table has a positive side, but there are also see unfavorable side, such as excessive toast, persuade is a bad habit on the table, the social culture to get into a mess; to the amount of big drink for the honor of both injuries to the body, but also injuries to the feelings, but also a waste of resources; brought a bad atmosphere, the table on the leadership of the Ai flattery, flatter, and contribute to the rise of evil, so that people will not be able to drink, but will not be able to drink. Corrupt the social culture, so that people are more snobbish and hypocritical, sometimes mixed with a large number of false and ugly things on the table and so on.

So, the Chinese culture of the table, neither honorable nor bad, the key in the people, you can not grasp the degree. Everything has a degree, things will be contrary, the moon is full is loss, over that degree, is a mistake!

(Pictures from the network〗

The hotbed of corruption, the place of socializing, the gray zone, the sanctuary of gathering friends, the territory of trading, the stage of diplomacy.

I divided the table into three categories: the official system, the pro system, the love system. The official system is high-grade, the pro system is affordable, the love system is hypocritical!
