At the beginning of a Chinese banquet, the first wet towel sent by the waiter is to wipe your hands. Don't use it to wipe your face. When lobster, chicken and fruit are served, a small water lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating in it is not a drink, but for washing hands. When washing your hands, you can take turns to wet your fingers, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel.

Pay attention to manners when eating. Don't persuade foreign guests repeatedly, but introduce the characteristics of Chinese food to each other, and it's up to him to eat or not. Some people like to persuade others, and even help them. Foreign guests don't have this habit. If you are polite again and again, people may resent it: "I said I wouldn't eat it. What do you have to force me to do?" By analogy, attend a banquet hosted by foreign guests, and don't expect the host to give you food repeatedly. If you wait for someone to serve you food, you'll have to be hungry.

After the guests are seated, don't start eating immediately. Instead, guests should wait for the host to say hello and raise their glasses to signal the start. Guests can't get ahead of their hosts. To be civilized, you should wait for the dishes to turn to yourself before moving chopsticks. Don't grab in front of your neighbor, and it is not advisable to take too many dishes at a time. Chew slowly, which is not only conducive to digestion, but also a etiquette requirement at the table. Never put a large piece in your mouth and wolf it down, which will give people the impression of greed. Don't be picky about food, don't just stare at your favorite food, or hurriedly pile your favorite dishes on your plate. The action of eating should be elegant. Don't touch your neighbor when eating. Don't put the dishes on the table. Don't spill the soup. Don't make unnecessary noises, such as "purring" when eating soup and "popping" when eating vegetables, which are all vulgar expressions. Don't talk to people while eating. Don't spit the bones and fishbones in your mouth on the table. Cover your mouth with a napkin and take them out with chopsticks and put them on a plate. Don't eat the food that has fallen on the table. Don't play with bowls and chopsticks during eating, or use chopsticks to go straight to others. Don't dig in your mouth with your hands. When picking your teeth with a toothpick, cover your mouth with your hand or napkin. Don't let the tableware make any noise.

After eating, you can wipe your mouth with napkins, napkins or small towels sent by waiters, but it is not advisable to wipe your head, neck or chest; Don't burp or belch uncontrollably after meals; The guests can't leave the table before the host signals the end.
