When talking about the folk customs of Shandong, we have to mention the custom of "drinking" among Shandong people.

In ancient times, in the Shuibo Liangshan area, the custom of drinking wine in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat is still as smooth as it was back then.

When coming to Shandong, no matter men, women, old or young, they must have a sip. "If you don't know, drink less." This is a reflection of the warm hospitality of the proud Shandong people.

The heroic spirit of Shandong people when drinking is obvious to all, so Shandong is rich in two things, fine wine and heroes.

When Shandong people "drink", they have strict regulations on where the guests sit, when serving food, and when drinking. When Shandong people "drink", each guest has a certain place to sit, and they are divided into host companions, deputy host companions, and host companions.

The guest, the deputy guest, the third guest, the fourth guest, and so on. The "host companion" is the first person to treat guests. The position is in front of the door. The main function is basically the host, to grasp the time of the banquet.

The degree of drinking, etc. The "secondary guest" is the second person who serves the guests, and is located opposite the main guest, that is, with his back to the door. This position is more about driving the guests to drink.

The position is to the right of the "host companion". The "deputy guest of honor" is the second person on the guest side, and the "third guest" is the third person on the guest side to the left of the "host companion".

To the right of the "auxiliary companion" is the fourth person on the guest's side, and so on. "Drinking" in Shandong includes not only serving food, but also serving tea.

, pouring wine, etc., all starting positions start from the position of the guest of honor. When serving the first dish, the host will use public chopsticks to give the guest of honor a chopstick, which shows respect for the guests and also indicates that everyone can eat.

The dish is ready. Regardless of whether the guest likes the dish or not, he should take a bite first after thanking him (if it is a national custom, such as the Hui people, it should be mentioned before this, and the host will prepare it in advance. If the guest has special taboos

You can explain the reason and refuse the dish. The host will put the chopsticks on his plate, and others can still receive the signal to start eating.) So drinking must be the host's.

Let’s start with suggestions. Liquor containers are usually made in twos and threes or two and a half, that is, one bottle of liquor is poured into three or four glasses. The more formal way of drinking liquor in Shandong Province is to drink the first glass in six sips, and then drink it as you like.

The order of the six sips is that the host will take three sips and the assistant will take three sips. Before that, the guests cannot take the initiative to toast. After six sips, the guests are asked to drink them all.

After the assistants have finished, the host will announce the start of the free time. Generally, each member of the host party, including the host and the assistant, will drink once with each guest, and the enthusiastic host will drink with each guest twice.

, as the saying goes, "In a country of etiquette, people drink in pairs." In a general sense, the guests return the favor once to each host. Finally, the host will invite everyone to have a last drink, which is a signal that the banquet is over, commonly known as "menqing". The requirement for the last drink is.

Drink it all. Generally speaking, drinking rules are different in different parts of Shandong Province, and the intensity of drinking is also different. The worst is in Jiaodong, such as Qingdao, Weihai, and Yantai, because these places are close to the sea and it is not suitable to drink beer when eating seafood.

, you will get a disease called "gout", so drinking is the most popular in the Jiaodong area near the sea. However, drinking in Shandong is very practical. The host drinks the wine at the same time, so if you meet someone who cannot drink in Shandong.

Lord, everyone can relax a lot. Since ancient times, Shandong has been popular in drinking alcohol and the folk customs are simple. In today's fierce competition for liquor, young people in Shandong now drink pure grain liquor, high-quality liquor, and sorghum liquor.

Puree wine is the mainstream drinking style. Nowadays, it is advocated to drink delicious drinks and drink healthily.

Shandong is the "hometown of Confucius and Mencius" and a land of etiquette. Its extensive and profound cultural heritage has endowed Shandong people with a simple, honest, generous and hospitable character. "Shandong Han" has become synonymous with the character and physique of Shandong people.

Shandong has rich folk customs, and people pay attention to nostalgia, friendship, and family ties. During traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Spring Festival, colorful folk festivals such as lantern festivals, mountain fairs, temple fairs, moon appreciation parties, and get-togethers are held everywhere.

Entertainment activities include performances of dragon lanterns, land boat racing, Yangko dancing, stilt walking and other folk customs.

Reasons for formation: 1. From ancient times to the present, Shandong folk culture has continued to have exchanges between regions due to regional differences, immigration, transportation, seeking jobs abroad, etc., which is reflected in the evolution of folk customs, forming a trend of both absorption and openness.

In the eastern coastal areas, fishing customs and the custom of going out for business are the most prominent.

Among the fishing villages, Rizhao, Rongcheng, Penglai, Changdao and other places are the most typical.

In the Yimeng Mountain area in southeastern Shandong, ancient culture originated earlier. It not only has mountainous characteristics, but also retains many traditional folklore phenomena.

Southwestern Shandong and northwestern Shandong are alluvial plains of the Yellow River. Folklore events are closely connected with the ancient Yellow River and have unique characteristics.

2. The folk culture brought by immigration has had a profound impact on Shandong folk customs.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the policy of "immigration to widen the countryside" was implemented. From the second year of Hongwu to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of immigrants moved from Dahuaishu, Hongdong County, Shanxi to Shandong, Dezhou, Binzhou, Liaocheng, Tai'an, Heze, and Jining. Some of them

They also moved eastward from Binzhou area.

In this way, Shanxi folk customs have influenced Shandong, such as not lighting a fire for cooking during the Cold Food Festival.
