What are the etiquette and rules at the dinner table?

These old rules at the dinner table should be known to few people. You can't say that you want to eat fish, you can't say you want rice when you add rice when you come to the house, you can't use chopsticks to knock pots and bowls, you can't say that it's unlucky to break the dumpling skin during the New Year, you can't stand up and insert it in the rice, you can't eat it, you can't suck it when you drink soup, and so on.

Table manners common sense has:

1. Seating etiquette.

When dining, we should also pay attention to the corresponding etiquette. For example, when you sit down, first pull the chair back with your hands before sitting down, and remember not to push the chair away with your feet.

If you are a man, as a man, you should understand that what you should do at this time is to pull out the chair and ask the lady to take a seat. Before eating, you should sit upright, put your hands on your knees, and do not put your hands on the table or fiddle with the dishes.

2. Don't hit ** on the dining table.

In formal banquet occasions, it is disrespectful to others to pick up ** at the wrong time. If you're going to pick up **, be sure to leave the table first and politely say to the person at the same table: "I'm sorry, I'll go out and pick up **".

3. Religious dietary taboos for people at the same table.

If you are not a particularly familiar friend, it is best to ask if there are any dietary restrictions. For example, the most common Muslims around us do not eat pork and do not drink alcohol; Buddhists rarely eat meaty foods, including onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, and mustard.

4. Toast.

The toast can only be performed after the first three glasses of group activities have been completed. Free activity is not really free, it has to be in order. The first few cups are all mutual respect between leaders, and you just watch the gods fight.

5. Consider the taboos of the profession.

Different professions also have some special taboos when it comes to eating.

For example, civil servants are not allowed to accept other people's invitations during the performance of their work, and they are not allowed to eat and drink too much at official banquets, nor can they exceed the prescribed meal standards, and they cannot drink alcohol. The driver must not drink alcohol during work, and must not let guests make mistakes.

In business occasions, do not order garlic, leeks and other foods, so as not to affect your tone and delay work. For a little more intimate, you can add some mints after the meal to freshen your breath.

If time permits, you should wait until most of the guests have arrived, circulate the menu to the guests, and ask them to come and order. Of course, as an official banquet, you will worry about the budget, therefore, to control the budget, the most important thing is to do more homework before cooking, and it is more important to choose the right grade of the place to entertain, so that the guests can also greatly understand your budget.

And generally speaking, if you pay the bill, the customer is not too embarrassed to order, and you will be in charge.

If your boss is also at the banquet, don't ask her to order food because he respects him, or thinks that he has a lot of experience and eats a lot of food, unless he asks for it. Otherwise, he will feel that it is not decent enough.

As a traditional ancient banquet etiquette of the Han nationality, it has its own set of procedures, and the host invites each other to temporarily welcome guests outside the door. When the guests arrived, they exchanged greetings and were introduced into the living room to sit and have refreshments. After the guests are gathered, the left is the top, regarded as the chief, relative to the first seat for two, the first seat is three seats, and the second seat is four seats.

The guests sit down, the host toasts the dishes, and the guests thank each other with courtesy.

There is also a certain degree of attention to the pouring of wine and food during the banquet, and the elders and the guest of honor should be respected first, and the host should be the last. This traditional ritual has been preserved in most parts of China, such as Shandong, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has been depicted in many film and television productions.
