What does a full set of Chinese tableware include?

Complete Chinese tableware includes chopsticks, spoons, bowls, plates, soup cups, cups, toothpicks and napkins.

Matters needing attention in the use of Chinese tableware:

1, Chopsticks: Chopsticks are the most important tableware in Chinese food and must be used in pairs.

2. Spoon: The main function of a spoon is to pick up dishes and food, but try not to pick up dishes with a spoon alone. Chopsticks can be used as an auxiliary tool.

3. Bowl: Bowls can be used to hold rice and soup. When eating, you can eat with a rice bowl in your hand. When holding a bowl, hold the bottom of the bowl with four fingers of your left hand and put your thumb on the end of the bowl. When eating, the height of the rice bowl is roughly the same as that of the chin.

4. Plate: A slightly smaller plate is called a plate, which is mainly used to hold food, and its use is roughly the same as that of a bowl. When eating, it is generally required that the plates remain in place on the dining table and cannot be piled together.

There is a special dish called cabbage. The main function of eating vegetables in Chinese food is to temporarily put dishes taken from public dishes for enjoyment. When using a saucer, generally don't take too many dishes in the saucer.

Don't spit food scraps, bones and fishbones you don't eat on the dining table, but gently put them at the front of the dish. Don't spit directly from your mouth when you take it. Use chopsticks to clamp it at the front of the dish. If the plate is full, you can signal the waiter to change the plate.

5. soup cup: soup cup is used to hold soup food.

6. Water cups: Chinese water cups are mainly used to hold soft drinks such as water, fruit juice and soda.

7, toothpicks: toothpicks have two functions, one is to take food; The second one is used to pick teeth.

8. napkins: before Chinese food, each diner is usually given a wet towel. The function of this wet towel is to wipe hands. After wiping your hands, put them back on the plate and take them away by the waiter. Before the banquet is over, the waiter will put on another wet towel. This wet towel is used to wipe your mouth, not your face or sweat.

Extended data:

Taking the etiquette of Chinese dining seating as an example, it shows that traditional Chinese dining usually takes round table or square table as a template.

1, respect rights:

Usually, when the host invites you to dinner, you should arrange everyone's seats according to the angle of "right high and left low", which is generally considered to be the upper seat on the right and the lower seat on the left. The host should let the guests sit on the right, and then the host will sit on the left, because restaurants in China often serve food clockwise. In this case, when a dish is served, guests can taste delicious food first, and then the host can taste the food.

2. Use the middle seat as the upper seat:

When eating in a restaurant, if there are fewer people in the same company and everyone doesn't know how to sit, the middle seat is usually the upper seat, and then the others on both sides are the lower seats. For example, if you go out to eat with a leader, you can take the initiative to ask the boss to sit in the middle, and then it is more appropriate for subordinates to sit on both sides. Or go out for dinner with your family and let your elders sit in the middle.

3. Take the position near the main platform as the upper seat:

For example, we can attend a wedding reception or a birthday party. On this occasion, there is usually a concierge desk to hold the ceremony. Traditionally, we regard the seat near the concierge desk as an upper seat, which can highlight the status of the guest of honor and facilitate better viewing of the ceremony. The rest of the guests can sit in the back seat of the guest of honor. If there is no guest table at the scene, you can choose a seat backed by the main background wall as the upper seat.
