Who is eating?

In China, dining is for the royal aristocrats, and what civilians eat cannot be called dining.

According to the interpretation of Kangxi Dictionary, diet can be used as a noun to indicate meat and meat for sacrifice. You can also be a verb, that is, eat, eat.

Because the emperor ate delicious food and cooked delicious food, it was called "rice". There are several other names, such as "passing rice", "entering rice" and "taking rice".

The ancient dining etiquette is as follows:

First of all, the number of tableware is allocated according to seniority.

Second, dishes are placed in specific positions and postures.

People who carry food must hold food in their right hand and food in their left hand. Moreover, if you serve fish, you should pay attention to the tail of the fish for the guests. If something goes wrong, it is easy to make a joke and be considered uneducated.

Third, when dining, the host and guests have a fixed form of polite interaction. First of all, the host needs to greet the guests in time during the meal. If he sees a guest enjoying vegetable soup, he should politely say that he is not good at cooking. When he sees a guest enjoying pickles, he should apologize and say that he is not prepared.
