What does the sentence "wine is full of respect, tea is full of deceit" mean?

"Wine is full of respect, tea is full of deceit" is a folk proverb, which means as follows:

Fill the wine and show respect to others: In ancient times, in order to show his sincerity and friendship, the host would fill the glass and the wine to show courtesy and respect to the guests. If you drink too much, you should eat more vegetables, so the wine is full of respect for people.

Tea is full of deception: tea is hot. If it is full, it is not only hot, but also difficult to take. This is tantamount to "expelling guests", so calling tea is full of deception.

There is also a saying that because the wine is cold, the guests will not be burned when they take it, but the tea is hot. When the teacup is full, it will be very hot, which will burn the guests' hands. Sometimes the teacup will fall and break because of the scald, which will cause embarrassment to the guests.

When pouring tea, it is best to keep it at about seven minutes full. If you drink wine, seven to ten minutes is respectful. Moderate drinking. If the guest has said that he can't drink too much, it is disrespectful to refill it.

Other tea drinking cultures:

1, respect before humble, old before young.

Go to a person and say "please have a cup of tea", and the other person will respond with "you're welcome", "you're welcome" and "thank you". If there are many people, it is not convenient to take back the cup and put it on the table in front of everyone. The first time you pour tea, you should respect the old before the young, and the second time you can pour it in order.

2, the first guest, the last stoker

When offering tea, in addition to seniority and step by step, we should also respect the guests first and then the family. After all the people present have had tea, the stoker, commonly known as the "chef" (the person who cooks tea), can drink it. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the guests and will be called "disrespectful" and "disrespectful".

3. Empty cups should be replenished in time.

China people always advocate "perfection", and it is unlucky to have an empty cup or glass in the process of speaking, so if you see (especially the younger generation) that the other person's cup is empty, you should add it to the other person in time.

Even if the other person doesn't drink, your behavior can be praised. A host who doesn't know how to add tea to his guests in time will give people a very rude feeling.

4. New customers change tea

While the host and the guest were having tea, a new guest came in the middle. The host should welcome and change the tea immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as "slow guest" and "rude". After changing tea, new customers should drink the second sip of tea first. If new customers repeatedly shirk it, it is called "disrespect".
