Matters needing attention in Chinese meal etiquette

With the constant communication between Chinese and western food cultures, Chinese food is not only a traditional eating habit of China people, but also more and more favored by foreigners. However, this seemingly ordinary Chinese restaurant has some exquisite manners when dining. The following is the Chinese dining etiquette I have compiled, hoping to provide you with reference and reference.

Chinese dining etiquette 1

At the beginning of a banquet, the host usually makes a toast first. At this time, stop talking, don't eat, and pay attention to listening. After the speech, the host greets you and you can start eating.

Pay attention to be polite when eating, and don't make any noise when chewing food; When the food is overheated, you can eat it later, and do not blow it with your mouth; Fishbone, bone, vegetable residue, etc. should not be spit out directly. Cover your mouth with a napkin and take it out with chopsticks, or spit it lightly on a fork spoon and put it on a plate.

Before eating, spread the napkin on your leg, fold it on the right side of the plate after eating, and don't put it on the chair, and don't fold it square and be mistaken for unused. Napkins can only wipe your mouth, not your face, sweat, etc. The fragrant towel sent by the waiter is used to wipe the surface, and put it back in the original container after wiping.

If you encounter a dish that you can't eat or don't like, when the waiter or host picks up the dish, you can't gesture or refuse. You can put a small amount on the plate and the well says "thank you, that's enough". Don't look embarrassed about Lai who doesn't agree with your taste. When entertaining as a host, there is no need to say anything too modest at the table. For foreign guests who have been in China for a long time, it goes without saying that this is a famous wine and dish in China. When giving food to guests, take the initiative to give food with public tableware, and never give food with your own tableware.

Pay attention to the use of toothpicks. In a formal banquet, toothpicks should not be used in public, and you can't pick food between your teeth with your fingernails. If you feel it is necessary, you can go directly to the bathroom to get rid of it. When toothpicks must be used at the dining table, it is best to gently pick your teeth with your hand over your mouth, but it is unsightly to pick your teeth while talking or eating.

10, across chopsticks

In China, you can put chopsticks straight on a plate or spoon when you stop eating at a banquet. If chopsticks are placed horizontally on the plate, it means that people are drunk and full and no longer eat, but they don't clean up the dishes, which means that "people don't accompany you with chopsticks." The etiquette of this kind of horizontal chopsticks has existed in ancient China. The horizontal chopsticks ceremony is generally used between peers or familiar friends. In order to show respect to the elders, the younger generation must wait for the elders to cross chopsticks before they can follow suit.

The use of chopsticks for dining in China has been handed down from ancient times. In ancient times, it was also called "chopsticks", and the use of chopsticks in daily life was very particular. Generally, when we use chopsticks, the correct way to use chopsticks is to hold them with the right hand, hold the upper end of chopsticks with the thumb and forefinger, and the other three fingers naturally bend to hold chopsticks, and the two ends of chopsticks must be aligned. In the process of use, chopsticks must be placed neatly on the right side of the rice bowl before eating, and must be placed neatly in the middle of the rice bowl after eating.
