What are the five taboos of table etiquette?

Normally people are more casual when eating at home, and there are not too many requirements. But if you attend some important dining occasions, there will be more requirements. If you do something wrong, it will greatly affect your image in the eyes of others. The table etiquette is different in each country. If it is Chinese food, everyone should understand the following table etiquette.

Five taboos of table etiquette:

1. Don’t talk while eating or sleeping

Remember not to talk to others with food still in your mouth. This is very taboo and impolite. If the other person is in a hurry to get an answer, you must cover your chewing mouth with your hand. Conversely, if you see someone chewing food, don't talk to them, and don't toast them when you see them picking up food.

2. Learn to be courteous and quiet

Many children always eat whatever they want. They will naturally drag the things they like to eat in front of them, and adults also let children choose their favorite foods. It was very rude of the children to be running around the table and making loud noises. Chinese dining etiquette is an important step in teaching children to be polite.

3. Sit with proper posture

Instructor Gu Weiwei shared with everyone her secret to maintaining a good figure - eat in small bites and stop after a while. This way you will eat slower and less. Chewing your food slowly while eating not only improves your temperament, it is also healthier for your body.

4. About picking up food

On a Chinese dining table with a glass turntable, you should turn it clockwise when picking up food. On the one hand, this implies smooth sailing, and on the other hand, it is also based on the movement direction of the human body. When everyone turns the turntable clockwise, it will look awkward if you turn it counterclockwise. And please note that when serving the dishes, you should first turn the turntable to the guest of honor or the elders.

When eating at a family that follows old rules, there are many distinctions such as main seat and secondary seat. Although modern people generally don't care about these things, the fashion etiquette studied is a very scientific etiquette. No matter what kind of etiquette it is, it is a matter of mentality - only when you can consider others and pay attention to their inconveniences can you become a truly polite and etiquette-conscious person from the heart.

5. A person who is well-read and well-read will be naturally elegant

The books a person has read, the roads he has walked, the people he has met, and the delicious food he has eaten are all things that are enough to support his unique temperament. The differences in topography, food culture, and ethnicity in different parts of the country are all reasons that lead to very different lifestyle characteristics. If a person wants to become more confident in etiquette, he must learn more and go out more often to broaden his horizons.

How to maintain elegance and confidence, and all the beautiful details that are revealed to outsiders, are all cultivated in daily life. Here, I hope everyone can spread fashion etiquette, let the flowers of fashion etiquette civilization bloom all over the country, and let everyone become a part of the world that knows etiquette and manners.
