Toast, the incarnation of Chinese pinyin Ji Jingji. Toast is also a toast, which means that at a formal banquet, the host proposes to the guests and puts forward certain reasons for drinking. In general, toasting should be carried out in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Be sure to give full consideration to the order of toasting and prioritize.

Three cups of connecting Beijing originated from the wisdom of the ancients. When drinking, the ancients often took "three sections of wine" as a gift. At the beginning of drinking, the host toasted everyone to show his welcome. This cup is called a sacrifice. There is another explanation in this regard. The host respects first and drinks first, also to show the guests that "wine is non-toxic", and everyone can rest assured to drink.

After the host finished drinking, the guests returned the host out of courtesy. This cup is called Qiang. The last cup was drunk by the host in order to make the guests drink more, which was called "reward". After the host finishes drinking, the guests also raise their glasses together, which is called "entertainment". This etiquette of toasting three cups evolved from this.
