Table manners: the right direction to eat chopsticks

Etiquette shows not only a person's etiquette image, but also family education and all aspects of education. There are not many differences when talking, but many problems can be inadvertently revealed when eating.

Then, this issue of table manners will analyze the correct direction of eating chopsticks.

I also want to know the position arrangement of guests and guests at the dinner table.

Three long and two short refers to putting chopsticks on tables with different lengths before or during meals. This is unlucky. Usually we call it "three long and two short". It means "death".

When you stop eating at a party, you can put chopsticks directly on the plate or spoon. If chopsticks are placed horizontally on the plate, it means that you are drunk and full, and you don't eat any more. This kind of horizontal chopsticks etiquette has existed in ancient China. The horizontal chopsticks ceremony is generally used between peers or close friends. In order to show respect for the elderly, the younger generation must wait for the elderly to cross chopsticks before they can follow suit.

According to historical records, there was a Tang Su in the Song Dynasty who was sent to the border because he passed chopsticks first. Now, when eating, even if you eat first, don't clean up the dishes immediately, but wait until the whole table is finished. This can be said to be a continuation of the ancient horizontal chopsticks etiquette, which means "people don't accompany you with chopsticks."

When eating, chopsticks should be placed next to the bowl or on the chopsticks rack, not on the bowl. In life, people also have the following taboos in the etiquette of using chopsticks:

1, avoid knocking chopsticks. Even when waiting for a meal, you can't sit on the edge of the meal and knock with chopsticks in one hand, nor can you knock on a bowl lamp or a teacup with chopsticks.

2. Avoid throwing chopsticks. When handing out chopsticks before meals, put them in pairs and then gently put them on everyone's table; When it's far away, you can ask someone to hand it over, not throw it on the table.

3, avoid fork chopsticks. Chopsticks should not be placed horizontally and vertically, with a big head and a small head. Chopsticks should be placed next to the bowl, not on it.

4. Avoid inserting chopsticks. When you need to leave temporarily during the meal, put chopsticks gently on the table or beside the plate, and don't put them in the rice bowl.

5, avoid waving chopsticks. When cutting vegetables, don't put chopsticks in the dish, turn them over. When others come to pick up food, you should avoid it intentionally, and beware of "chopsticks fighting".

6, avoid dancing chopsticks. When talking, don't use chopsticks as knives and dance around the table; Don't poke chopsticks in front of others when you invite them to dinner. It is impolite to do so.
