Extended data

"Table manners" is a profound knowledge, which embodies the inheritance, spread and essence of a Confucian culture. For example, "respecting the old and loving the young" and "orderly aging" are very particular about table manners. We all serve the elders first, then the younger ones, and finally ourselves.

For another example, since ancient times, many important business negotiations, important decisions, or mutual communication between friends are basically inseparable from the table, so table manners are very important.

In ancient China, there were so-called standing, sitting, eating and sleeping. The dining etiquette mentioned here refers to eating. To make eating elegant is not only in line with the requirements of etiquette, but also conducive to the inheritance and development of China's food culture.
