What are the dining rules in China?

China has many dining rules. After all, our country is so big that every region has its own unique characteristics. Then let me talk about some rules that we basically have when dining in many places in China:

One: Seating!

One of the most important rules of dining is to sit down! The food can be good, the hotel can also be a five-star hotel or a messy local restaurant, but the seating is more exquisite, but it can't be messy!

First of all, this time has a theme. Generally, the position facing the door is the theme. Moreover, not everyone can sit on this theme, and it is generally a respected elder or the biggest leader.

Then sit with me. Sitting with the host, as the name implies, is specially for people who sit with the host. Generally, the seat is on the right hand side of the host. The latter is not so strict, but generally according to the rules, the higher the status, the older you are, the more you do in it, and the closer you are to the theme, the better. People with their backs to the door are basically the youngest or junior, and they are generally responsible for taking food and serving.

This rule is the most important part in the dining process, so don't make jokes!

Two: eating rules!

Don't think that this dish can be eaten with chopsticks just by putting it on the table. This is also a rule!

The first thing is to respect the elders sitting in the chair! When those big fish and meat are served, you must wait for the elders to move the chopsticks before reaching out, otherwise it will be rude and despised!

Also, when eating, don't throw the boat on the plate, eat whatever you hold, and don't turn it over twice, it will make everyone sick!

Then try to keep quiet when eating, and don't make a tut-tut, or others will say that you are poor and haven't eaten! It's wrong to waste things, others will say you!

Three: drink!

I don't know when it started, but it's also a rule that has been circulating for thousands of years!

You said that others came all the way to see you, and you invited people to dinner without giving wine. It was so unenthusiastic! Similarly, if you go all the way to other people's homes and someone buys you a drink at dinner, isn't it shameful to look down on them if you don't agree?

Also, if friends and relatives gather at a table for dinner without drinking, the atmosphere is not warm enough to set off everyone's feelings! When you entrust others to do things for you, invite them to dinner but don't give them wine. Can they still work for you? Dream on!

However, I think many people hate eating and drinking, but this is a social activity and the most basic rule of a mixed society. It's not easy to pretend to like it even if you don't want to!

Of course, there are many rules when eating, and you will find them later!
