Invite others to dinner, what are the rules?

1, take a seat

The first guests are invited to take a seat on the seat, in order to invite the elders to take a seat next to the guests. To enter from the left side of the chair, do not move chopsticks after being seated, not to make any noise, and do not get up and walk around. If there is something to greet the host.

2. Eating

First, ask the guests and elders to move their chopsticks. You should eat fewer dishes at a time, and eat less of the dishes that are far away from you. Don't make any noise when you eat, and don't make any noise when you drink soup. Drink soup with a spoon in small sips, do not bring the bowl to your mouth to drink, when the soup is too hot, drink it after it cools down, do not blow on it while drinking.

Some people like to chew their food, especially when they chew crunchy food and make a very clear sound, which is not etiquette. Especially when eating with a crowd, we should try to prevent this phenomenon.

3, do not burp

Do not appear other sounds. If there is an involuntary sound such as sneezing or bowel movements, apologize by saying something like "I'm sorry," "I'm sorry," or "I beg your pardon.

4, cloth dishes with public chopsticks

If you want to give the guests or elders cloth dishes, it is best to use public chopsticks, but also can be away from the guests or elders of the dishes sent to them in front. 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 asking them to move their chopsticks first to show that you value them.

5, hygiene

Eat fish head, fish spines, bones and other things will be put on their own plate or put on the paper prepared in advance.
