1 7 Step by Step Reading.

The tables in Chinese restaurants are generally round, and the tables in ordinary banquets are also round. Push the door in, the first thing is the main table, if there is a napkin flower, the flower in this position is not the same as the one next to it. This is the main seat.

Sit next to the left and right sides of the main seat, and if it is a company, it is the position from high to low. Usually the seats in and near the main seat can be seen from the whole picture, facing the TV and the door, and the situation in the private room is clear at a glance.

The one with his back to the door is the least important, and people with low positions generally sit here.

There are also three or four seats in the back doorway, and some of these seats are close to the toilet, which most people don't like to sit.

Carrying the position of the door, there are two others carrying the TV, and here you can't watch TV, you can only listen to the sound.

There are also two places in the back door, in the middle of which are black chopsticks and spoons, which are usually different colors from other chopsticks, and some people sit on the side, and those who don't know about these will use these chopsticks. This position is also used for serving, so it is not very convenient for people sitting on the left and right sides. When the waiter brings the food up, you just stop the chopsticks and be careful not to let the juice drip onto your clothes.

If there are elderly or children, the elderly and children are generally not allowed to sit in two positions near the chopsticks, and if the parents bring children, the parents generally do not sit separately in order to pick up the food for the children.

Gathering with relatives and friends, behaving elegantly and generously at the wine table reflects a person's literacy and taste. There are many tables for Chinese to eat, with round tables being the most common, followed by long tables, eight immortal tables, for different tables the primary and secondary positions are different, let's look at them one by one.

General principle: the seat is "Shang Zuo Zun East", "facing the door for respect". Round tables are the most common, and we will focus on the number of round table seats.

1. Round table. For round tables, the main seat facing the door is the main seat, and if there is no position facing the door in a large private room, the opposite direction of the serving position is the main seat. The position on the left and right of the host and guest is judged by the distance from the host and guest, and the closer to the host and guest position, the more respectful; "The left side of the meeting is the top, and the right side of the meal is the top", and the left side is respected over the right side at the same distance.

The first scenario: family gatherings.

The oldest and oldest person should sit facing the door (commonly known as the upper seat); Next, they are arranged in order of generation or age. Sometimes it is necessary to arrange a child next to the elders that the elderly like.

If the elders are entertaining, assign a person to sit near the door and be responsible for the reception. If it is a junior who is entertaining, the guest should sit near the door.

The second scenario: a gathering of friends.

Whoever treats the guest sits in the owner's seat.

Sometimes, the owner may also give up this position to a person of higher rank or high moral standing, and the rest can be arranged in order of age, one to one left and one to the right.

The third case: a business party.

The reception of guests is divided into two sides, "Shang Zuo Zun East", "Facing the door for respect".

In a private seat, the host of the guest is sitting facing the door, so that he can see every guest who is coming, and he can stand up in time to greet the guest. When there are many private seats, the one who is facing the decorative door is the main escort. Generally, the handkerchiefs on the tables of the main escort, deputy escort, guest of honor, and auxiliary guest have special shapes.

When the guest of honor is not here, please do not sit down casually, but wait on the sofa in the lounge.

2. Long tables. For the long table, there is not only a sitting method like a European-style aristocratic male host and a hostess sitting at both ends of the long table, but also a sitting method in which the invitees sit on both sides of the table, and the invited guests sit around the host in turn.

Generally speaking, the seating order is "Shangzuo respects the east" and "faces the gate for respect". If it is a round table, the host and guest who are facing the door, and the position on the left and right sides of the host and guest is judged by the distance from the host and guest, the closer to the host and guest position, the more respectful, and the same distance is respected on the left side and on the right. If it is a table of eight immortals, if there is a seat facing the door, the right seat facing the side of the gate is the main guest.

If it is not directly facing the main gate, the right seat on the east side is the chief.

If it is a big feast, the arrangement between the tables pays attention to the chief in the front and center, the left side is in order, the right side is the seat, according to the identity and status of the host and guest, the relatives and sparse seats.

If you are the host, you should arrive early and then wait at the door and usher in a seat for the guests. If you are the invitee, you should be seated at the host's behalf.

As a general rule, if your boss is present, you should lead the boss to the main seat and ask the client to sit on the left side of the main seat at the highest level. Unless the leadership level of the object of this reception is very.

We're all facing the door or facing south, that's the position of the host and guest, and we usually sit next to the host and guest, and there are rules in each place, and the assistant is sitting next to the host, and the side guest is sitting next to the host and guest, so it's better.

1. The host sits in the position facing the door, the host and guest sit on the right hand side of the host, and the second guest sits on the left hand side of the host;

2. The escort sits next to the guest according to their own order.

3. However, business etiquette belongs to business etiquette, if the guest is significantly higher than the host, the main seat will naturally sit for him, and the first and second hosts will sit on the right hand side and the left hand side of the main seat.
