I. Public Etiquette in Japan

1, the Japanese obey the traffic laws.

In Japan, no one runs a red light on a spacious road. Even if no one does, they stop there according to traffic regulations. Especially, car drivers will slow down and let pedestrians go first when they see pedestrians on the road. Some of my father's Japanese friends came to Changzhou for the first time, and they were too scared to open their eyes. And the Japanese don't drive when they drink. Once, grandpa drank and drove, but the Japanese refused to sit. And the Japanese never overtake when driving. Once, my father took us to Japan for a very important activity? Ma Gigi Lai? Unprecedented pomp, a sea of people, cars lined up, as far as the eye can see, but no one overtook and occupied the road. What surprised me even more was that in the grand gathering of thousands of people in Japan, everyone sat on the floor, had a picnic, watched performances and watched fireworks. When they left, there was not a piece of paper on the ground. I think our little dragon girl did a good job, too. Every time she goes out to travel, she doesn't leave any rubbish.

Japanese pay attention to the civilization of public places.

Compared with people in other countries, the Japanese pay more attention to the civilization of public places. For example, in Japan, no matter how many people sit on the train, they don't talk, some read books, and some close their eyes. Japanese people don't talk loudly in public, and try to keep their voices down when using mobile phones, so as not to affect people around them. Once my father took a friend from Changzhou to Japan, talking and laughing on the train, which attracted the attention of the whole train. There are relatively few thieves in Japan. Even if you put things in your bike and leave them outside the store, no one will come to get them without locking them. So when my father goes back to Changzhou, my mother always reminds my father that this is Changzhou, not Japan. Be careful with your wallet.

Japanese pay attention to civilized dining.

Different countries and regions, different cultures and customs naturally have different eating habits. The traditional way of eating in Japan is to use a piece called. Imperial food? A small dining table for one. This small dining table is actually a tray with legs, which is placed on tatami and diners sit down to eat. Although in recent years, most people eat at the dining table, there are still many Japanese-style hotels that still use this traditional small dining table for convenience. In addition, a feature of Japanese cuisine is that all dishes can be eaten with a pair of chopsticks. When serving food, the host usually considers the appetite of the guests, so that it is just right and the host eats everything the guests pick up. This is a courtesy. That bowl of soup is generally the size that one hand can hold. When drinking soup, take the bowl in your left hand and send it directly to your mouth. It's the same when eating. Holding the bowl in his left hand, he ate it all, not a grain left. In Japan, whether you eat out or at home, you can't throw up on the table at will, but put it in a special plate or bowl. Don't throw it around, it will be easier to clean up in the end.

Second, the Japanese dining etiquette

Before and after meals.

Japan has been affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions all the year round, so there are gratitude for living and eating, gratitude for life, and gratitude for food given to them by God. In Japan, when eating, the Japanese will put their hands together and say, you're welcome, I'm going to start. Japanese people say two different words before and after eating. Before eating? Itadkimasu！ ? I began to express my gratitude for this meal. After dinner? Go to Chisoza Madsita! ? Thank you for this delicious meal.

2. When eating

There will be many exquisite dishes during Japanese meals. Generally, Japanese cuisine has five appetizers to awaken the taste buds on the tongue. A Japanese meal includes a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup and two or three dishes. The more side dishes, the more decent the food. If there are many meals on the table, it is difficult for guests to taste which dish first. The correct order of eating is to eat soup first, and then eat that dish, but don't just eat the same dish. Every dish should be tasted in turn, which is a kind of respect for the host.

3. Diet style

Japanese food etiquette seems to be very strict, but the Japanese allow them to gobble, which even shocked people in other countries. Take sushi as an example. Japanese people are used to dipping a piece of sushi in soy sauce with their hands and then eating it directly. They eat sushi without chopsticks. For example, eating noodles, the Japanese will directly inhale the noodles in the soup bowl, and it will definitely make a sound. According to the Japanese dining custom, the noise when eating noodles indicates that noodles are very delicious, which is also the highest praise for the chef's cooking.

4. Japanese sake and Japanese tea

In Japan, the orthodox Japanese meal usually includes Japanese sake. Japanese people like to drink rice wine with their meals. They usually start eating after toasting each other. Even if the guest doesn't want to drink, the waiter will want the guest to have a drink to show politeness. Japanese people like drinking tea very much, and different kinds of tea are served at different times of a meal. Generally, green tea will be served before meals and fried tea will be served between meals. They are very picky about the tea in their diet.

These are Japanese food etiquette. Although we all pay more attention to the taste and feeling of dishes, food etiquette is also an indispensable part of food culture. As a foreigner, we should not only respect the etiquette culture, but also pay attention to the food culture of other countries.

Third, Japanese hospitality etiquette.

Different countries, different cultures, hospitality is naturally different. In Japan, Japanese people generally don't entertain guests at home. If you are invited to a Japanese home, you should take off your hat, gloves and shoes in front of the hall. After entering the door, the man's sitting posture will be more casual, but it is best to kneel and keep his upper body straight; Ladies should sit on their knees or side, and avoid sitting cross-legged. When you leave after being a guest, don't put on your coat until you leave the room. When visiting Japanese families, they usually bring a bunch of flowers and a box of snacks or sweets to the hostess, preferably wrapped in light paper and tied with colored ribbons. When Japanese receive friends and relatives, they usually use traditional toasts. The host put a bowl full of clear water in the middle of the table and washed it in everyone's water. Then he pressed the mouth of the cup on the gauze and let the gauze suck up the water drops in the cup. At this time, the host filled the wine and handed it to the guests, waiting for them to drink it off.

After drinking the wine, the guest also washes the cup with clear water, absorbs the water drops on the gauze, and fills a glass of wine to repay the host. This toast shows the close friendship between the host and the guests. Japanese people are also very particular about pouring wine. First of all, don't hold the glass in your hand, put it on the table. Hold the pot in your right hand and the bottom of the pot in your left hand. Never touch the glass. The first glass of wine poured by the host must be accepted, otherwise it will be considered as a very rude performance. You can refuse the next toast, and the Japanese generally don't force people to drink. When visiting a Japanese home, you should confirm the time with the host in advance and ring the doorbell to give your name before entering the door. If there is no doorbell in this house, don't knock, but open the sliding door on the door and ask: Excuse me, is there anyone in there? After entering the door, you should take the initiative to take off your clothes and hat, take off your scarf (but be careful not to wear vest or barefoot even in hot weather, otherwise it is impolite), put on slippers prepared by your host, and then give your own gifts to your host. When sitting in the house, you should sit with your back to the door, and only after being persuaded by the host can you move to a distinguished position. In addition, don't visit Japanese houses at will, and don't ask to look around.

In Japanese ideology and culture, men are especially forbidden to enter the kitchen. In addition, the owner's consent is also required to go to the toilet. When eating, if you don't know how to eat a meal, you should ask the host and turn the chopsticks around when you pick up the food. When saying goodbye, let the guests ask first and thank the host. When you get home, you should call your host to report your safety and thank him again. Don't forget to express your gratitude when you see your host again after a while. This is the Japanese food culture. We must keep learning, respect the different habits of each country and improve our self-cultivation.

Japan is a country of etiquette, which has formed its own unique etiquette culture since ancient times. From the social etiquette in Japan, we can easily find the richness of Japanese etiquette, which is full of Japanese daily life. With the changes of the times, some ancient customs and habits have undergone some subtle changes and have been gradually improved by modern people. Japanese people attach importance to etiquette, which also plays a positive role in maintaining Japan's order of the times and constitutes Japan's unique culture. Moreover, some Japanese cultures have also been learned by the world.

Japanese tea

China's tea art pays attention to color, fragrance and taste, temperature, water quality and tea set, but it doesn't care much about the form of drinking tea. Tea ceremony in Japan is different. Besides color, fragrance, taste, water quality, temperature and tea set, it also has a whole set of ceremonies. The action, posture and expression of ordering tea, and even which foot to take first when entering the door, have strict rules, and you must never cross the line. The soul of tea ceremony lies in this ceremony.
