1, "main escort" position: the main escort is the first rank of the host, that is, the highest-ranking guest or the most distinguished hostess. It's in front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.
2. "Co-pilot" position: Co-pilot is the second rank of the guest and the second most distinguished person among the guests. The position is opposite to the main guard, that is, the back is to the gate. Traditionally, this position should be held by the person who pays the bill.
However, with the prevalence of hospitality corruption in recent years, under normal circumstances, guests are rushed out, so there is no need to let the second-ranked guests pay for such a trivial matter in person. So this position is more about driving guests to drink.

Chinese etiquette
China was called "the state of etiquette" in ancient times. It has been a tradition of China people for thousands of years to stress etiquette, observe etiquette and respect etiquette. If you don't learn manners, you can't stand it. The core of etiquette is people's social behavior norms, which are the social behavior norms, moral standards and various etiquette that China people have become accustomed to.
The so-called "courtesy wins the hearts of the people, so it is indisputable"; "There is more than enough food and clothing, and courtesy is reciprocal." Courtesy is the control of personal interests and the dispatch of people's interests. Politeness means humility and concession, and "courtesy" and "concession" are often linked together, which is the origin and explanation of the word "comity".
