Characteristics of China's Table Etiquette Culture
China's table manners culture reflects the etiquette, ceremony and personal politeness requirements formed by the family's moral concepts and customs. Family banquets and informal banquets should be based on "long" (parents and elders), while guest banquets should be based on "guests". Therefore, many rules have been formed to bind family members, especially children.
Although each banquet depends on the identity of the guests and the characteristics of etiquette and customs, there are differences in the choice of food types, quality grades and restaurants, but guests must never be allowed to pick out "no". Etiquette should be paid attention to in the whole process of greeting, toasting, talking, dining and resignation.
