Notes and taboos on table manners

The Chinese have been very concerned about eating since ancient times, and the study of table manners is even more in-depth, we ask to eat with eating, sitting with sitting. So, as a Chinese you, on our table manners and in the end know how much? Here is what I have organized for you the notes and taboos of table manners, welcome to read.

First, chopsticks and bowls as far as possible without collision

Try to avoid chopsticks and bowls during the meal to hit the sound, and taboo in the process of eating deliberately chopsticks knocking the bowl, which is very impolite behavior, but also under the public prohibited behavior.

Second, do not make noise during meals

Some people like to make noise during meals, with the Sichuan dialect that is? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Third, take the food to avoid picking and choosing

In the meal, do not pick and choose in the plate, the food over and over again. This is a sign of disrespect to others and they will think you are uncultivated.

Fourth, the public **** occasion prohibits picking teeth, burping, sneezing, smoking

In the public **** occasion, picking teeth to pay special attention to, in the picking of teeth, please use a napkin to cover the mouth, spit in the paper towel. Just put the toothpick in the tray when you are done. During the meal, if you want to sneeze, you can cover your mouth with a napkin to minimize pollution. If the sneezing continues, it's best to leave the table and go outside immediately, as no one will mind. Hiccups during a meal are very rude and unseemly. If they are uncontrollable, you can drink water and hold your breath to reduce the symptoms. If you are a smoker, you can smoke in the smoking area of the restaurant after you finish your meal, which is not rude and will not harm other people's health.

Fifth, to persuade guests to eat in moderation

Some people are very enthusiastic in the feast guests, and even for the guests to pinch food, add rice. In the host's view, this is the enthusiasm, the way to welcome guests. But in fact, this is not only unhygienic, but also make each other reluctant to accept.
