Guangzhou is a densely populated city, attracting a large number of foreigners. The following is the taboo of table manners in Guangzhou that I collected for you. I hope I can help you!

1. Fish belly and chicken head should face the host and guest.

Generally speaking, the fish belly is pointed at the host and guest, mainly because the fish belly has fewer thorns and is tender, smooth and delicious. However, there is actually another allusion. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Gongzi Guang * * * that is, Prince He Lv * * * wanted to kill him and set up his own business. Wu Zixu recommended the assassin Zhuan Xu to Gong Gongguang, but Zhuan Xu didn't get close to Wu Wangliao at ordinary times. Knowing that Liao loves grilled fish, Zhuan Xu went to worship Taihe Gong as his teacher. After learning the craft of grilled fish, Zhuan Xu took the opportunity of inviting Wu Wangliao home for dinner to prepare a whole fish, hid a dagger in the belly of the fish, took out the dagger when serving, stabbed Wu Wangliao, and Zhuan Xu was also killed by Wu Wangliao's guards. From then on, all banquet guests should point the fish belly at the host and guest to show goodwill. It is also different from the dining etiquette of "chickens don't offer their heads and ducks don't offer their tails" in other provinces. In a hotel in Guangzhou, if it is a white-cut chicken in the shape of a chicken, the waiter must point the head of the chicken at the host and guests to show respect. When the host and guests move chopsticks, they usually tilt the chicken's head slightly to show humility.

Don't say "full" after eating.

In Guangzhou, many elderly people usually think, "Are you hungry? * * * complain about hunger, but don't complain about being full * * * ". When chopsticks fall on the ground, they should say "chopsticks fall in Cantonese with the same sound as" happy ",and when bowls are broken, they should say" flowers bloom on the ground and shine brilliantly "... Now many young people don't pay attention to these customs and taboos, but they still have to wake up the memory of this pile of things on formal occasions, which not only reflects the elegant etiquette at the dinner table, but also inherits and inherits the local national culture.

Don't knock the bowl and basin with chopsticks.

Guangzhou people are very taboo to beat bowls and pots with chopsticks when eating. When having dinner at home, especially don't knock chopsticks on the bowls and basins casually. It is often said that only beggars beat bowls and basins with chopsticks when begging. There is also a saying related to the ancient legend of "antivirus". According to legend, this method is a poisonous insect cultivated artificially. People put all kinds of insects into the altar. Many years later, when they opened it, a bug must have eaten all the other insects. This winner is called "Method". When people are killed by food poisoning, you should say a spell and beat the bowl and basin at the same time, so that the method can work. Therefore, it is taboo to beat bowls and basins with chopsticks.

4. Don't "cross chopsticks" when you stop eating.

When you stop eating at a party, you can put chopsticks directly on the plate or spoon. If chopsticks are placed horizontally on the plate, it means that you are drunk and full, and you don't eat any more. This kind of horizontal chopsticks etiquette has existed in ancient China. The horizontal chopsticks ceremony is generally used between peers or close friends. In order to show respect for the elderly, the younger generation must wait for the elderly to cross chopsticks before they can follow suit. According to historical records, there was a Tang Su in the Song Dynasty who was sent to the border because he passed chopsticks first. Nowadays, even if people eat first, they don't immediately clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then clean up together after the whole table is finished. This can be said to be a continuation of the ancient horizontal chopsticks etiquette, which means "people don't accompany you with chopsticks." In addition, it is also considered unlucky to put chopsticks on the table irregularly before or during meals. This is called "three long and two short", which stands for "death". Because the coffin used to play dead is two short boards in front and back, and three long boards at the bottom of both sides, which are just three long and two short.

Table manners of Guangzhou people

1. Pick up chopsticks: Before the younger generation picks up chopsticks, be sure to invite the older generation to dinner. They must start from the youngest, the oldest will say "pick up chopsticks", and then everyone will say "pick up chopsticks!" Move chopsticks.

2. People shake fortunes: sitting down to eat, one leg and two legs can't be built. In the past, you built a leg, that is, unscrupulous people engaged in prostitution. Two legs, representing the poor * * * people on the water. Don't shake your legs. As the saying goes, "people shake wealth."

3. Eat Seven: Guangzhou people, rich or poor, can live alone and eat nine dishes, but they will never cook seven dishes unless they want to do something "white" and "eat seven" is not good.

4. Eat fish: you can eat the nest, tail or back first, but you are not allowed to eat the head first, or be picky about food first, and you can't turn the fish over. Guangzhou people like to talk about meaning, and the fish head is of course eaten to the end. It's even more unlucky when the fish turns over. Fish can represent boats, cars, houses and so on.

5. Respect the ground before respecting others: Guangzhou people like to drink old fire soup before meals, regardless of their elders, but before drinking, they must dip a few drops with chopsticks and then gently bounce it to the ground outside the bowl. * * * Drinking tea is also a habit, and you can drink it after the ceremony. It's called "Respect the ground first, then respect others". There are rules for pouring tea and wine. "Tea is half respectful, and wine is half deceitful." The etiquette of drinking is the same as above.

6. Fly like an elephant across the river: Don't carry chopsticks to the other side. If they are carried to the opposite side, mother will separate them with her own chopsticks, and then say: fly like a river! In fact, the elephant flying over the river is an elephant playing chess. Of course elephants can't cross the river. There are also many manners to grasp and put chopsticks, such as grasping chopsticks without pointing, putting chopsticks horizontally and so on.

7. Breaking dishes: It is common for children to accidentally break dishes and cups, which is not good for their heads. So, with the sound of landing, they said loudly, "Flowers that fall to the ground are rich and glorious", and then picked up a piece and hid it in a high place.

8. Leave three feet gentle: When I was a child, because there were many sisters, I always sat around the table to eat, and it was very easy for my elbow to touch my elbow. My mother would say: leaving three feet is gentle! So for the word "sven", everyone obediently stepped back.

9. Dropping chopsticks: Once, I accidentally dropped a chopstick on the table and wanted to bend down to pick it up. My mother was quick-sighted and quick-sighted. Before I could pick it up, my mother dropped the other one. I wonder why my mother did it. Mom said: "Happy, happy, good things of course in pairs!" " "After the meal with other dishes.
