The difference between Chinese and western etiquette is that the usage of tableware is different, the seats are different, and the order is different.
First, the usage of tableware is different.
1, Chinese etiquette: Don't move chopsticks back and forth in every dish or swim in the air. Don't fork food into your mouth with chopsticks, lick the attachments on chopsticks with your tongue, and don't push bowls, plates and cups with chopsticks. You can't put chopsticks in the bowl if you have to leave temporarily. You should put them gently on the chopstick rack.
2, Western etiquette: Western etiquette when eating with a knife and fork, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, the fork in the left hand, and the knife in the right hand. When using a knife, the blade should not be outward. When you don't use the knife, you can also hold the fork in your right hand, but if you need to gesture, put down your knife and fork, don't wave it in the air with your hand, and don't hold the fork with one hand.
Second, different.
1, Chinese etiquette: Chinese etiquette seats "respect the east" and "respect the door". The person in charge of the family banquet is the elder with the highest seniority, and the last seat is the lowest; In a family dinner, the chief guest is the most respected guest, and the guest host is the last one. The director can't sit until he's seated, and he can't start until he starts. When he was on a wine tour, he began to respect the chief executive in order before drinking.
2. Western-style etiquette: When western-style etiquette enters the restaurant, the man should open the door first and ask the lady to enter, and ask the lady to walk in front. When sitting down and ordering wine, ladies should be invited to taste and decide.
Third, the order is different.
1, Chinese etiquette: Before a Chinese etiquette banquet, the host needs to think twice about the menu in advance. When preparing the menu, the host should focus on which dishes can be selected and which dishes can't be used.
2, Western etiquette: Western etiquette can not be rushed to order after sitting, you can ask the waiter directly if you have questions, they will be happy to answer any questions you have, if you are not very clear, you will ask the restaurant manager or chef.
