As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people", so things related to eating are very important in our life. Do you know what etiquette taboos are on the table of our daily banquet? The following is for everyone, I hope to help everyone!

Set tables and seats

China's banquet is very particular about the number of tables and seats. Generally, the front or middle table is the main table, and the height of the table depends on the distance from the main table. The table on the right of the main table is higher than the one on the left. When you enter the banquet hall, you should wait for the host to greet you or look at the sign on the table before taking your seat.

Chinese banquets generally use round tables, and each table is attended by special personnel.

The seats for small parties are generally in the middle, facing the door to see the scenery first, and the other is high on the right and low on the left. Chinese food is served clockwise to take care of the people on the right.

tableware

Chinese tableware includes cups, plates, bowls, plates, chopsticks and spoons.

In particular, don't beat the tableware with chopsticks, don't wave chopsticks in the air when you are not sure which dish to take, don't rummage through the dishes with your own chopsticks, and don't insert chopsticks vertically into the rice or horizontally into the plate.

In addition, it is the use of public spoons, especially after scooping vegetables such as "pine nuts and corn" with public spoons, the spoons should be put back in time for others to use. When using the plate, make sure it is clean. Don't take too much food in at a time, let alone put too many kinds. It smells easy and looks unsightly. Take as much as you want. Under normal circumstances, you don't eat soup directly with a bowl, but with a spoon.

Empty bowls and dishes cannot be used as containers for sundries. Don't put napkins, cigarette butts and the like in the bowl after eating the soup. Some bones and fishbones should be spit on chopsticks and then put in front of the plate. Don't throw up directly on the table.

Service order

The order of serving at a formal banquet is as follows:

Hand-grabbed candied melon seeds-cold dishes-drinks and wine-mainly fried, fried and fried-large dishes are usually roasted, roasted, braised, steamed, fried and roasted, with more soup and a slightly larger plate-soup is sometimes served after cold dishes-desserts and staple foods.

have a meal

The waiter will provide a towel before the meal. You can use it to wipe your hands, but don't use it to wipe your whole face, neck and hands. If you need a special wipe, you can go to the bathroom to wipe it. Sometimes when eating, the waiter will bring a beautiful small cup with petals or lemon slices floating in it. You shouldn't drink it. It is used to wash hands before serving seafood. Soak two or three fingers, gently rub them and dry them with a towel. Don't put your whole hand in for cleaning, just clean a few fingers needed to pinch food.

roast

When the host speaks and toasts, he should stop eating and listen carefully. Pay attention to your manners when eating, and don't bend over to get food. If the food is far away, you can pass the food plate and ask someone to hold it for you. You can't drink while drinking, and you can't draw a wine list. You should help the wine, not persuade it. When eating, you need to pick your teeth and cover them with your palm or paper towel.

taboo

First, don't put the dining table under the beam.

Because if there is a beam above the dining table, it will be like a sharp knife on people's heads, causing an invisible pressure on the people below. In the long run, it will not only seriously damage the mental and physical health of family members, but also lead to no peace at home. It is suggested that the ceiling be used to cover the housing beam and the mascot be placed in the dining room, which can effectively solve the problem of bad feng shui on the dining table.

Second, don't put the dining table in an unfavorable position at home.

The dining table is a place for a family to eat, which is related to the health and fortune of a family. Therefore, the position of the dining table at home should be good, not bad. Of course, when choosing the orientation of the dining table, you can refer to the life of the owner of the house. For example, "lighting a fire in the shade", the five elements are happy: wood and fire, and the orientation is happy: due east, southeast and south.

Third, the dining table should not be washed away by the road.

The dining table is a place for a family to eat. It needs to be warm, comfortable and natural in order to enjoy the food happily. However, if the road rushes or bends sharply to the dining table, it may lead to family quarrels during meals, which is not conducive to family harmony. If multiple roads are hedged, it is like being in a whirlpool, which will cause extremely unfavorable consequences and need to be adjusted in time.
