What are the rules when eating Chinese food table manners?

The general procedure of the Han people's seat is that the host folds the invitation to Cambodia, welcomes the guests outside the door, arrives at the guest, greets them, extends into the living room to sit, respects the refreshments, guides the guests into the seat, and takes the left as the top, which is the chief. The seats in the middle of the seat, with the left being the first seat, the opposite seat being two, the first seat being three, and the second seat being four. The guests sit down, the host toasts the dishes, and the guests thank each other with courtesy.

After the banquet, the guide enters the living room to sit and serve tea until farewell. There are also certain rules for pouring wine and serving food during the banquet. The modern standard protocol is:

The pouring of wine is carried out by the guests on the right side, first the guest of honor, then the host; First the women, then the men. The wine should be poured for eight points, and it should not be too full. The dish should be served cold and then hot, and the hot dish should be served from the left side of the seat opposite the guest of honor; Serve single dishes or side dishes, table orders and snacks before the guest; Whole chicken, golden duck, whole fish and other plastic dishes, do not put the head and tail towards the main position.

After taking the seat, do not start to eat immediately, but wait for the host to greet the host and the resident will raise a glass to indicate the beginning. The dishes should be civilized, and the chopsticks should be moved when the dishes are transferred to their own faces, and do not rush in front of the neighbors; It should not be too much at one time; Don't use your own chopsticks to pick up food for others.

For Chinese food, you must pay attention to the number of seats. Generally, the table in front of the center is a VIP seat, and each table faces the door, and the seat facing east or left is the guest of honor.

The tableware of Chinese food mainly includes cups, plates, bowls, saucers, chopsticks, spoons, etc. At formal banquets, the water glass is placed to the left of the plate, and the wine glass is placed to the right of the plate. Chopsticks and spoons can be placed on a dedicated plate, and common chopsticks and spoons are best placed on a dedicated plate.

At the beginning of the meal, the waiter brings a wet towel to wipe your hands, so don't use it to wipe your face. When lobster, chicken, and fruit are served, a small basin with lemon slices and rose petals floats in it, and it is not a drink, but a hand wash. When washing your hands with it, take turns wetting your fingers with both hands and gently scrubbing them, then dry them with a small towel.

First of all, you can't chirp. And don't pull around in the dish. I think it's more annoying than a chirp.

Except for your own family, don't serve food to others. How to solve the problem of persuading vegetables? You can use words to say a few more words about how good this dish is, if you put in the effort to make it, usually sensible people will stretch their chopsticks by themselves.

If people repeatedly refuse, don't persuade them, it's particularly boring.

Don't spit on anything, just look at it, you can spit in your own bowl. Don't sneeze either. I can't help it, I have to turn my back, cover my mouth and nose with my hands, and even leave my seat.

And don't pick your teeth. Even if you cover it with your hands, it's very **. Disposal of dirt is a private matter, and should be done in a hidden place.

In ancient times, food rituals were divided into classes: court, government, gang, people, etc. The "Hero Ranking" is the most important item in the entire Chinese food ceremony.

Today, however, due to the evolution of tables, the arrangement of seats has changed accordingly. But it still follows, the seat is "still left to respect the east", "facing the gate is respected". The chief of the family banquet is the elder with the highest seniority, and the last person is the lowest; For family dinners, the chief guest is the most honored guest, and the guest host is the last to be seated.

Don't be a picky eater, don't just stare at your favorite dishes, or rush to pile your favorite dishes on your plate. And don't put the dishes on the plate on the table; Don't make ** sounds, such as the sound when drinking soup or eating vegetables; Don't talk to people with food in your mouth.

How much do you know about China's "table manners"?

1. The order in which Chinese food is served.

Standard Chinese food, regardless of the flavor, is served in much the same order. It is usually served first with cold cuts, followed by hot sautés, followed by main dishes, followed by dim sum and soup, and finally a fruit platter. When a third of the cold dishes are left, the first dish is served, and ten hot dishes are usually arranged at each table, and no matter how many tables are served at the banquet, each table should also be served at the same time.

If the waiter serves the food to everyone, it should be done in a clockwise direction according to the main guest of honor and the host, the woman first and then the man. If there is an individual picking up the dishes, each dish should be placed in front of the guest of honor, and the guest of honor should start to take the dishes in a clockwise direction. But you can't wait to take the food offside.

Before the formal banquet, a wet towel will be placed on each diner, which is used to wipe hands, not face, mouth, or sweat.
