The cultural knowledge of the Chinese nation has been circulated for thousands of years, so do you know the etiquette of the Chinese nation? The following is for everyone, I hope to help everyone!

Why is the Chinese nation called "the state of etiquette"

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has been known for its emphasis on "ceremony". In ancient times, many foreigners who came to China saw that people here were generally educated and edified by etiquette. They regarded etiquette as a virtue in their words and deeds, which made people humble and gentle and had a harmonious relationship with each other. While admiring them, they gave a heartfelt sigh, calling China a "state of etiquette"!

/kloc-several great thinkers in Europe in the 0 th and 8 th centuries praised Confucius' theory with etiquette as the main content. Tamburin thinks that Confucius' theory is a kind of ethics, involving political morality, economic morality, public morality and private morality. Voltaire thought that what Confucius preached in The Book of Rites was noble morality, which was very practical. He asked Europeans to praise, humiliate and imitate China culture. They were nicknamed "Confucius in Europe" by their compatriots.

Confucius devoted his life to making social music, focusing on social stability, so that ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment. Because of this, he wants to push everyone onto the road of civilization through ceremonies and music. His efforts were highly praised by many foreign colleagues in Europe more than two thousand years later, which was the result of his ideological charm. From this, we can also believe that when they gave China the reputation of "State of Etiquette", it was by no means a compliment, but an affirmation of China's ancient high spiritual civilization.

Chinese nation, the land of etiquette: "business tea etiquette"

The host should ask the customer for advice before serving tea?

Ask the customer, "What would you like to drink?" If there is no special taboo, you can choose one of several options provided by the other party. Generally speaking, it is impolite to ask too much of the host. If you are not used to drinking tea, you should explain it to your host in time. If you haven't explained clearly that the tea has been served, don't drink it. Don't show your displeasure, just blame the host for it.

What if the host, especially the hostess or elder, pours tea for himself?

If possible, you should stand up immediately, hold hands and say "thank you". Don't turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye When it refills itself with water, it should return it politely. When others pour tea and water for themselves, they should also express their gratitude in time and properly. If it is difficult for the other person to stand up, hold hands or answer "thank you" when pouring tea or water for himself, at least smile, nod or bow. Don't spill herbal tea and leftover tea on the floor.

In the process of business negotiation, if you are talking with the communication object?

It's best not to drink tea. If you suddenly switch to drinking tea during a conversation or conversation, it will not only interrupt the conversation, but also appear casual. Only when you are not the main person to talk to, or after the conversation with others has come to an end, can you act according to circumstances, take a sip of tea to moisten your voice and savor it.

You should know how to savor tea. Doing so not only reflects one's upbringing, but also is a way of being polite to others. When drinking tea, you should sip it carefully. After each sip of tea soup, let it stay in your mouth for a while, and then slowly swallow it, so that the taste of tea is fragrant. Don't wolf down your tea. Drink it in one breath, your mouth will pop and tea will run down your cheeks. Drinking tea in this way can only quench your thirst, not to mention the beauty of tea.

When picking up a teacup, hold the cup ear with your right hand. For teacups without ears, hold the middle of the teacup with your right hand. Don't hold the cup with both hands, hold the bottom of the cup with your hands, or hold the mouth of the cup with your hands. That's either rude or unsanitary. When drinking tea, don't even swallow the tea soup with the tea, let alone take the tea out of the tea, or even eat it halfway. In case there is tea in the tea, don't spit it out, just chew it.

When drinking a bowl of tea with a lid, you can gently brush the tea floating on the coffee table with the lid instead of blowing it with your mouth. If it's very hot in Chata, don't blow it, or use another cup to fold herbal tea water. It is best to let the tea cool naturally. When drinking black tea or milk tea, don't scoop tea with a teaspoon or play in a teacup. Just put it in a cup when not in use. If the host tells you that you are drinking famous tea, read the tea soup carefully before drinking it, and then enjoy it after drinking it. Don't ignore it, or belittle it casually, and say something that makes the host unhappy, such as "I haven't heard the name of this tea", "It tastes bad" or "I haven't made good tea".

Treating guests with tea not only shows one's upbringing, but also shows politeness. Of course, to reach a higher level of tea tasting, it is necessary to accumulate over time, develop deep feelings for tea, and experience the unique sweetness of tea with your heart.
