1, seating etiquette: in the Chinese banquet, Round tables are often used. It's not just the round tables placed in different positions that are different in rank. The different seats on each round table also have the distinction of honor and inferiority. Long tables are generally used in western food. At formal banquets, the ranking of tables depends on the distance from the main table. The more right the table is, the more distinguished it is, and the closer it is to the host at the same table, the more distinguished it is.

2. In western food, tea (or coffee) is usually arranged as the last course, which marks the end of the meal. Chinese tea and wine sit at the same table, and tea instead of wine will not appear in formal western food. For guests who are inconvenient to drink, water, fruit juice or alcohol-free drinks will be prepared instead of tea.

3. Attendance time: China people are people with diversified time concepts, while westerners are people with single time concepts. It is required to strictly abide by the schedule and do whatever you should, so this difference is more prominent when attending banquets.

4. Tableware differences: Chopsticks are the most important tableware in Chinese food. In use, chopsticks must be placed neatly on the right side of the rice bowl before eating, and placed neatly in the middle of the rice bowl after eating. No matter whether there is food left on the chopsticks, don't lick them. When talking with people, put them down temporarily, don't put them vertically on the food, and don't use chopsticks to pick teeth, scratch or pick things other than food. Western food is a knife and fork.
