A brief introduction to 10 Chinese dining etiquette

Usage of wet towel:

If the waiter offers you a wet towel, you should politely accept it and gently wipe your hands, then put it on the edge of the table. Do not use it to wipe your face, neck or arms, even if you are sweating profusely.

Usage of napkin:

When the host indicates to eat, you can open the napkin on the table and lay it flat on your legs. For Chinese meals, the napkin is fully opened. For Western-style meals, the napkin is opened to both eyes. When you leave your seat for some reason, you can fold the napkin slightly and put it back on the table, but never put the napkin on the chair.

If you eat with your hands, wash your hands and dry them with a napkin.

If you eat with your hands, wash them with hand-washed water and dry them with a napkin.

After finishing the meal, you can use a napkin to gently wipe your lips and corners of your mouth, and then place it on the right side of the tableware, but do not place it on a chair, nor fold it squarely aside.

How to use chopsticks:

The standard way to hold chopsticks is to use the thumb and index finger of the right hand to face each other, and hold the five fingers at two-thirds of the chopsticks. When eating, you should first use serving chopsticks or spoons to put the required dishes on your own plate, and then eat slowly with your own chopsticks.

When using chopsticks, the first thing to avoid is to take too many dishes each time; the second thing to avoid is sweating constantly when putting the dishes on your own plate; the third thing to avoid is using chopsticks to spread them all over the table; the fourth thing to avoid is using chopsticks to put them on the plate Choose from the following: 5. Avoid using chopsticks to wash in the soup; 6. avoid using chopsticks to knock tableware; 7. avoid using chopsticks to point people; 8. avoid using chopsticks to serve soup with chopsticks in your hands at the same time.

If there are any debris such as bones, put the chopsticks between your lips and send the debris to your own plate. Do not spit directly on the tablecloth.

Usage of soup spoon:

The spoon is specially used for drinking soup and is not suitable for drinking soup. Used for eating, but can be used with chopsticks to help extract food.

When serving soup, you should put down your chopsticks and then use a spoon. After using the spoon, place it on its own plate and not directly on the tablecloth.

Different from the Western way of drinking soup, where you use a spoon to scoop the soup from the inside out, Chinese food usually uses a shared large spoon to scoop the soup from the soup pot to your own small soup bowl. Then pick up the soup bowl and drink it with a small spoon or directly at the mouth of the bowl.

How to drink:

1. Toast

The host and the guest of honor should clink glasses first. If you accompany your boss to the banquet, you should accompany your boss to the banquet. Clink glasses with each other. When clinking glasses, you should look at each other to show respect.

2. Pour wine

When pouring wine, you should hold the bottle with one hand and gently hold the side of the bottle with the other hand. With a smile on your face, concentrate on pouring the wine slowly and elegantly. Pour into the other person's cup.

Beer should be filled so that the foam overflows to the mouth of the cup; sweet wine should be filled to 80% of the cup; white wine or strong wine should be filled to two-thirds of the cup.

3. Receive wine

When someone pours wine for you, you should hold the glass with one hand and hold the bottom of the glass with the other, smile at the person and say thank you softly.

Methods to prevent drunkenness:

If a toast exceeds your drinking capacity, decline with a smile.

Eat something or drink a bottle of milk or eat something rich in oil before going to the banquet.

Raise the glass and taste it briefly, then use a smile and quick movements to take the wine bottle from the other person's hand and pour it for him, so that he has no chance to pour it for you.

Keep the glass full, because when the glass is empty, others will pour you wine.

Pretending to be drunk and running to the bathroom more often can avoid opportunities for drinking. Or apply a little blush and pretend to be blushing due to the effect of alcohol, which can also dispel other people's intentions of toasting.

When looking for flower guardians, sometimes male colleagues or acquaintances can drink on your behalf. I believe there will be many people who are willing to show their manly demeanor and come to your rescue.
