What is the etiquette at the Chinese table? What should be noted?

1, the etiquette of seating. First invite the guests to take their seats. In asking the elders to take their seats next to the guests in turn, to be seated from the left side of the chair to enter. Do not move chopsticks after being seated. Do not make any noise. Don't get up and walk around． If there is something to greet the host.

2, when eating. The first guest. Longer to move chopsticks. When you clip the food less each time. Eat less of the dishes that are far away from you. Don't make noise while eating. Don't make noise when drinking soup. Drink soup with a spoon in small sips. Don't hold the bowl to your mouth, and drink the soup when it's too hot or when it's cooled down. Don't drink while blowing. Some people like to chew their food. Especially if they chew crunchy food vigorously and make a clear sound. This is not a good etiquette. Especially when eating with a group of people, you should try to prevent this phenomenon.

3. Don't burp or make any other noises while eating, but if you sneeze or make any involuntary noises such as intestinal tinnitus, say "I'm sorry". I'm sorry," "I'm sorry. Please stay calm." or something like that. I'm sorry," he said.

4, if you want to give the guests or elders cloth food. It is best to use communal chopsticks. Can also be far from the guests or elders of the dishes sent to them in front, according to our Chinese custom. The dishes are served one by one. If there are leaders, elders or guests at the same table. Whenever a new dish comes up, ask them to move their chopsticks first. Or take turns asking them to move their chopsticks first. To show the importance of them.

5, eat the fish head, fish spines, bones and other things, do not spit out, not to the ground. Slowly use your hands to take it to your own plate, or put it next to your own table or put it on the paper you prepared beforehand.

6, to take the time to chat with people around a few funny words to harmonize the atmosphere. Don't eat with your head bare, regardless of others, and don't gobble down a meal, and don't be greedy.

7, the best not to pick teeth at the table. If you want to pick your teeth, use a napkin or hand to cover your mouth.

8. Make it clear that the main purpose of the meal is to talk business. To be clear to talk about business. Or to contact the main feelings. Or to eat mainly. If it is the former, in the arrangement of seating should pay attention to. The main negotiator's seat close to each other to facilitate the conversation or to ease the emotions. If it's the back. Just need to pay attention to common sense etiquette on the line, focus on the appreciation of the dishes,

9, the final departure. Must thank the host. Or at this point invite the host to their own home in the future, in return for thanks.

Chinese table notes:

Hiccups: hiccups in the table is very rude, if you really can not control, then you can drink water, hold your breath in a way to make the symptom less, if still ineffective, it is best to go to the restroom to play enough, and then return to your seat after the exhaust gas is eliminated.

Sneezing: If the sneezing is only temporary, you can of course cover your mouth with a napkin to minimize the pollution. If the sneezing continues, it's best to leave the table and deal with it elsewhere. If you really can't deal with it, you might as well leave the table first, as no one will mind.

Makeup: Many of our female compatriots are unaware of this etiquette. Makeup should be done in the restroom or in a less crowded place. It's not a good idea to wear makeup in public, as if you were combing your hair or putting on a dress.

Smoking: Almost all restaurants are divided into smoking and non-smoking areas. In order to avoid second-hand smoke, smokers are advised to try their best to refrain from smoking, and if they are really addicted to smoking, they can use the end of the meal when the people present have already begun to use desserts and coffee, and then leave the table to go outdoors to inhale smoke.

Flossing: Flossing is also a nasty business, so if you really want to throw up, please cover your mouth with a napkin and put it on a paper towel. Toothpicks can be placed on the plate after use, do not bite a toothpick in the mouth to talk to people, like a rogue, very ugly. Some people even finish the meal, the mouth is still chattering toothpicks walking around, that is even more outrageous behavior.

Knife and fork fall: eating if the knife and fork accidentally fall to the ground, this time only need to tell the service staff to change a clean can, do not clean up their own fall to the knife and fork, more can not be wiped with a napkin and then continue to use.
