Chinese table manners:

Don't burp or make any other noises while eating, and if there are any involuntary noises such as sneezing or bowel movements, you should say, "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry", "please forgive me" and so on, to apologize.

If you want to give your guests or elders food, it's best to use communal chopsticks, and you can also send dishes that are far away from your guests or elders to them. According to our Chinese custom, dishes are served one by one. If there are leaders, elders or guests at the same table, ask them to move their chopsticks first whenever a new dish comes up, or take turns to ask them to move their chopsticks first, in order to show the importance of the dish.
