I believe everyone is familiar with napkins, but when it comes to the use of napkins, some people may really not know. Today, let etiquette experts give us a detailed introduction to the use of napkins. Napkins are also called "oral cloths". Before sitting in the table, every guest will have a napkin in front of him. The purpose is to avoid soiling clothes when eating. In addition, you can use it to wipe oil stains on your hands and mouth after eating. Napkins are also very popular nowadays. Napkins are a simple substitute for napkins. When the banquet begins, the host picks up the napkin, which is a signal that he is ready to eat. The guests can only pick it up after seeing that the host has picked up the napkin first, so as to avoid rudeness. The napkin should be placed on the leg. When a family has a daily meal, it is usually stuffed in the neckline, which is not allowed at a formal banquet. You must spread your napkin on your lap when you attend the party. Larger napkins are generally only half opened, folded in half and spread out for use. Pick up the napkin from the dining table, fold it in half first, and then lay the crease on your leg. Never shake off your napkin, wrap it around your neck like a bib, or stuff it at the neckline. It is also wrong to put a corner of a napkin into an eye or belt. If the texture of the clothes is slippery and the napkin is easy to slip off, you should put a corner of the napkin into your belt or put the left and right ends under your thighs in a less eye-catching way. Napkins are used to wipe your mouth. Napkins are of course used to prevent sauce from dripping and soiling clothes. However, the most important thing is to wipe your mouth. After eating greasy food, it is really indecent to talk to people with this respect. Besides, when drinking, you will leave oil stains on the glass, which is even more ugly. As for lipstick, it is also necessary to wipe it with a napkin to avoid lip prints on the glass. You can also wipe your hands or mouth with a napkin. When you wipe your mouth with a napkin, wipe it lightly with your fingers, rather than huddle up or wipe it hard, let alone wipe your face and table with it. You don't need to fold the napkin neatly after eating. To stand up, first pick up the napkin on your leg, fold it at will, then put it on the left side of the dining table, and then get up and leave your seat. It is not polite to shake or fold the napkin after standing up. Napkins don't have to be folded too neatly after use, but they can't be rubbed into a ball casually. If there are guests or elders present, be sure to wait until they pick up napkins and fold them before they can follow suit. When you leave the table temporarily, you must let the napkin hang from the table. It is best to avoid leaving the table halfway during the banquet. Many people will fold napkins and put them on chairs when they leave the table temporarily. There is nothing wrong with this treatment, because napkins placed on the table are easily misunderstood and have left the table, so the host and waiter can no longer serve you. Remember, you shouldn't knead napkins into a ball at will and then put them into your wallet or clothes pocket. That's also rude. In fact, the most ideal way is to press the corner of the napkin with a plate or knife and let it hang down from the edge of the table. Of course, the dirty side is elegant when it faces inward. Don't wipe your tableware with napkins. We usually wipe our tableware with napkins or napkins before eating out for the sake of hygiene. But remember, don't take out this set of so-called hygiene habits on the western food table. As long as you wipe your plate, cup, knife and fork with a napkin or use it as a rag to wipe the table, it means that you don't trust the health service of the host and the service staff. This kind of behavior is a great insult to the host and is extremely rude.
