Please ask the etiquette at the dinner table, not Western

Ancient and modern Chinese table manners.

The issue of dining etiquette has a long history. According to the literature, at least 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, it 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 folds the invitation and temporarily welcomes the 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 amount of attention to the wine and food served during the banquet

The elders and the guest of honor should be honored first, and the host 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.

As far as I can remember, it should be like this, your father should sit at the front of the long table, the woman's parents and your girlfriend will make 3 seats on one side, you and your mother will be on the other side, and your mother should sit close to your father's seat! For dishes, the soup is placed in the middle, and the main food is placed along the soup in turn, such as meat and food, and vegetarian food is placed on the outermost side.

If there is an incorrectness, look at the amount!

Countries around the world have different dining table cultures, and different countries have different dining etiquette.
