China's food culture is extensive and profound. If you ask this question, I'll take a table in Sichuan cuisine as an example. Generally, there are 4-6 cold dishes, the first dish, the Chinese dish (generally there can be colored plates or carved dishes), two soups (the main soup usually uses high-grade ingredients), eight hot dishes (which can include a beet and a steamed dish), 1-2 vegetarian dishes, two snacks, a tail soup and a fruit. If it is a traditional Manchu-Han banquet, there will be many dishes, cold dishes, first dishes, two soups, four reds and four whites, and so on.
