Please teach me the etiquette at the dinner table, the etiquette at the dinner table

The issue of dining etiquette has a long history. According to the literature, it can be known that by the latest in the Zhou Dynasty, the food etiquette has formed a set of quite perfect system, especially through the praise and admiration of Confucius, who served as the sacrificial wine of the Lu State, and has become an important aspect of the appearance of a great country, a state of etiquette, and a place of civilization in all dynasties. As a traditional ancient banquet etiquette of the Han nationality, it has its own set of procedures:

The host invited him 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 emphasis on pouring wine and serving food during the banquet: the elder and the guest of honor should be respected first, and the host should be the last.

At the end of the feast, guide the guests into the living room to sit and serve tea until they say goodbye. This traditional banquet etiquette is preserved in most parts of China, such as Shandong, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is reflected in many film and television works. The Qing Dynasty was influenced by the introduction of Western food, and some Western food etiquette was also introduced.

For example, methods such as dividing dishes, serving soup, and eating wine have also been introduced into Chinese food etiquette due to reasonable and hygienic eating methods. The exchange of Chinese and Western catering culture makes the dining etiquette more scientific and reasonable. The more popular Chinese banquet etiquette in modern times was developed on the basis of continuing the tradition and referring to foreign etiquette.

The first guest of honor sits on the right side of the host, the second guest of honor is on the left side of the host or the right side of the first guest of honor, and the wine is served on the right side of the guest, first the guest of honor, then the host, the female guest first, and then the male guest. Pour eight points of wine, and do not overfill. The order of serving remains traditional, with cold and then hot.

Hot dishes should be served from the left side of the seat opposite the guest of honor; Serve single dishes or side dishes and snacks before the guest, and serve plastic dishes such as whole chicken, whole duck, whole fish, etc., and the head and tail should not be facing the main position. These procedures can not only make the whole feasting process harmonious and orderly, but also allow the identity and emotions of the host and guest to be reflected and communicated. Therefore, the etiquette at the table can make the banquet and drinking activities complete and thorough, so that the cultivation of both the host and the guest can be fully displayed.

First, let the dish not be sandwiched, you can let it, taste it, don't clip it, you don't know if he likes to eat it or not, you are not a worm in his stomach, you have to eat it if you clip it, which is suspected of forced service. I just talked about caring to a degree, and sometimes clipping, if you don't clean the chopsticks, it's more troublesome. Some comrades deal with it like this and then clamp it, kill him, unhygienic, you give him eight chopsticks is not the same as punishing him with eight mouthfuls of spit?

Let the dish not be sandwiched.

Second, toasting is not discouraged. You can say that we toast to the friendship between the peoples of the two countries, to the cooperation between the two units, and that he likes to drink or not, and not to force the service.

Third, do not organize your clothes in public. Don't pick yourself up in front of people. Some comrades eat, and the series of actions are completed in one go. First unbuckle the belt, then pull down the tie, then roll up the sleeves, and the bandits descend the mountain.

The last taboo is not to make a sound when eating in front of outsiders during a banquet.

Seating: the front door is up, the right is up, the center is up, the far is up, and the front row is up.

It's so annoying above, as long as everything follows the hostess.

Every small gesture in the process of dining reflects everyone's upbringing. "Eating appearance" is not a personal matter, in social occasions, eating with friends, "eating appearance" has become a social etiquette. The civilized "eating appearance" is not an impromptu "performance", the etiquette at the dinner table needs to be learned by both adults and children, and the following is an introduction to the etiquette at the dinner table.

1. If you are a man and there are women sitting around you, then you should show your gentlemanly demeanor to serve the lady, and pull out the chair and ask the waiter for something. This is especially true if there are elders sitting next to you.

2. When ordering, if you are the east, you should ask the guests to order, starting with the elders, then ask the opinions of the ladies, and finally you can also ask the children what they want to eat. Be careful.

3. When waiting for the main dish, you can't knock on the table and the tableware because you are bored, which is very impolite. You can talk to your friend on the right, and then talk to your friend on the left.

4. When picking up vegetables, you can't use chopsticks to flip around in the dish, or halfway through the pickpocket, and put it back on the plate when you find that you don't like to eat. If the food you want to eat is far away, don't stand up and pick it up, you should wait until you turn it in front of you or ask someone next to you to help you put it in your bowl.

5. When eating, you should hold up the bowl, but don't spread your arms too far and squeeze into the side. Don't put one hand under the table and bury your head in the bowl and eat for yourself. When serving vegetables or soup, you should put the bowl up and catch it, so that the juice or soup does not spill everywhere.

Don't make too much of a move, and beware of splashing people next to you.

6. Don't "dominate" a few favorite dishes, so that others can't eat them. Don't gobble it up, don't make a "click" sound, you should keep your mouth closed and savor it carefully, not only to eat elegantly, but also to help digestion.

7. If you find something stuffed between your teeth, you can't pick your teeth in public unscrupulously. It's best to get up and go to the bathroom to do this, or turn sideways, cover your mouth with a tissue, and start "quietly" picking your teeth. The removed items should be followed with a paper towel, wrapped and then placed in a bone dish.

8. If you eat well first, you should get up and say to everyone, "I have eaten, please use it slowly", and then leave the table.
