1, sit down

The seating order is "respecting the east from the left" and "respecting the gate". If it's a round table, it's the host and guest facing the gate. In terms of the distance from the host and guest, the closer to the host and guest, the more respected it is. At the same distance, the left side is more respected than the right side. If it is a square table, if there is a seat facing the gate, the right seat on the side of the gate is the host and guest. If it is not facing the gate, the right seat on the east side is the chief.

2. Order food

A standard Chinese meal usually starts with cold dishes, followed by stir-frying, followed by the main course, followed by snacks and soup. Of course, if you feel a little tired, you can have some dessert and finally serve fruit. When ordering food, you should also consider the taste of the guests.

3. When eating

Invite guests first, and the elders move chopsticks. Keep your voice down when eating and drinking soup, and don't disturb the people at the same table. In particular, some people like to slurp their mouths and make a clear voice when eating, which is impolite.

4. When eating

When there are dishes with bones, don't spit directly on the table or on the ground, which will affect the appetite of your deskmate. It is best to put the bones in your own plate by hand.

5, clip vegetables

When picking up food for guests, you must use public chopsticks, which is hygienic and polite.

6. Toast

The host respects the guest of honor, the guest of honor respects the guest of honor, the guest of honor reciprocates, and the guest of honor respects each other. When pouring tea and wine for others, remember the principle of "pour tea lightly, pour wine full".

7. Avoid being picky when taking food.

When eating, don't pick and choose in the plate and toss the food over and over. This is disrespectful to others, and others will think that you have no cultivation.

8. It is forbidden to pick teeth, burp, sneeze and smoke in public places.

Pay special attention to picking your teeth when you are in public. Please cover your mouth with a napkin and spit on a paper towel when you pick your teeth. Put the toothpicks in the plate after use. During meals, if you want to sneeze, you can cover your mouth with a napkin to minimize pollution. If you sneeze constantly, you'd better leave immediately and go out to deal with it. No one will mind. It is very impolite and indecent to burp during a meal. If you really can't control it, you can drink water and hold your breath to relieve the symptoms. Friends who like smoking can smoke in the smoking area divided by the restaurant after dinner, which is neither rude nor harmful to others' health.

9, the rational use of tableware

When eating, you should pick up the bowl, buckle the mouth of the bowl with your thumb, buckle the bottom of the bowl with your forefinger, middle finger and ring finger, and leave your palms empty. It is forbidden to bend over the dining table during the meal, which is very indecent.

10, when leaving the table

You must express your gratitude to the host, or invite the host to your home in the future to show your gratitude.
