In Korea, elders can call them by their first names instead of their surnames. In social activities, they can address each other as "Mr", "Mrs", "Mrs", "Ms" and "Miss". People with status can call each other "Mr." and "Your Excellency", and they can also add job titles, academic titles and ranks, such as "Mr. President" and "Your Excellency". Korean husbands will say "my wife" or "my wife" when introducing their wives. Close friends often add names like "Brother", "Sister" and "Sister" to each other's names, such as "Brother Hongzhe", "Brother Shixian", "Brother He Zai" and "Sister Mei Yan". Men can also be called "Jun", but they are often called by their names, such as Ung-Yoon Jung, Yin Hongzhe, Zhao Chengyuan, Xin Chenglie and Jin Xiangzhen. For male elders who don't know each other, it can be called "(a western morning)" (that is, "uncle" or "uncle"), and for female elders who don't know each other, it can be called "(a Zuma)" (that is, "aunt" and "aunt").

South Korea is known as the "state of etiquette", and Koreans attach great importance to their proper etiquette in communication. Traditionally, the relationship between family members in South Korea is not only to safeguard their own interests, but also covers a wide range. The blood relationship between them should be based on a tradition of cooperation and mutual support, so the feelings, love and sense of responsibility between family members are very strong and cannot be cut off. The head of a family is regarded as an authority, and the whole family must obey his orders or obey his wishes. Strict orders must be obeyed and not violated. For Koreans, it is unthinkable that children or grandchildren will not obey the wishes of their elders.

Every year, on the first day of the first lunar month, after the family holds routine ancestor worship activities, all members should kneel and salute their grandparents, parents, brothers and relatives in order of age; Young people even go to the village to salute their elders to show their due respect, even though they are not related by blood. In the family, keep the seniority, and don't allow young members or people with low status to drink or smoke in front of the elderly or people with high status. Those who break the rules are regarded as a sign of lack of education, especially in smoking, which may lead to severe condemnation. When children go out, they should say goodbye to their parents; When parents come back from a long trip, their children should greet and salute; When a guest visits, parents bow to the guest first, and then the children bow to the guest according to their age. ...

The relationship between relatives and family members of Koreans is very strong, and they abide by the solemn responsibility of mutual cooperation and cannot be shirked for any reason. This relationship often exceeds personal interests or expectations of the other party's interests. When a person encounters difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask relatives for help.

After marriage, brothers don't live together as before, but those who can afford it live very close and have close contacts. Especially in weddings, elders' 60th or 70th birthdays, children's birthdays, traditional festivals and other special days. They always try to be with each other. Clan members have the same money and property. They get together once a year and take this opportunity to discuss, for example, the maintenance of ancestral graves. When Koreans meet for the first time, people with the same surname always ask each other if they are of the same clan. If they are from the same clan, they should also consult the genealogy to understand the intimacy of the other party's relationship with themselves. If the other person is an elder, he will often visit and use honorific terms to show respect.

In traditional Korean society, the elderly are respected for their knowledge and experience, and young people must consciously follow this in their behavior. In public gatherings, social occasions, banquet hotels, who should pay tribute to whom first, who should sit in which position, who should sit first, and who should toast to whom first, these rules are known to everyone from an early age and will not be confused, otherwise they will be considered vulgar and lack of family education.

Korean food ceremony:

Note: Wear socks to Korean homes, and take off your shoes when eating in Korean canteens, so be sure to wear clean socks. It is impolite to have dirty or holes in socks. People think they are ill-bred. When seated, both the host and the guest should sit cross-legged on the floor, and they can't straighten their legs, let alone separate.

The internal structure of Korean restaurants can be divided into two types: using chairs and taking off shoes to get on the kang.

When eating on the kang, men sit cross-legged and women stand on their right knees-this sitting posture is only used when wearing Hanbok. Nowadays, Korean women don't wear hanbok at ordinary times, just put their legs together and sit down. After sitting on the dishes, in a short time, the aunt in the restaurant will take out the tableware first, and then the dishes.

Koreans usually use flat-headed chopsticks made of stainless steel. Both China and Japan have the habit of eating with rice bowls, but Koreans think this behavior is not standardized. And don't touch your job with your mouth. A bowl with a round bottom and a cover is sitting on the table, and there is no handle for you to hold. Coupled with the heat from the rice to the bowl, it is reasonable not to touch it. As for the bowl cover, you can take it off and put it on the table at will.

Since you are acting recklessly, your left hand must be obedient, hide under the table honestly, and don't "shine" on the table. The right hand must first pick up the spoon, take a sip of soup from pickles, then take a bite of rice with the spoon, then take another bite of soup and rice, and then you can eat whatever you want. This is the order in which Koreans eat. Spoons are more important than chopsticks in Korean diet. They are responsible for filling soup, fishing for soup dishes and filling rice. When not in use, put it on a rice bowl or other utensils. And chopsticks? It is only responsible for picking vegetables. Under no circumstances can you take bean sprouts out of your soup bowl with a spoon, and you can't use chopsticks. First of all, there is the problem of food ceremony, and secondly, soup may flow down the chopsticks to the table. When chopsticks don't hold vegetables, the traditional Korean practice is to put them on the table in the right hand direction, with two chopsticks close together, two-thirds on the table and one-third outside the table, which is convenient to take and use.

Koreans are an emotional people, so we should fully understand how to express our feelings through dinner.
