In order to leave enough preparation time for the host, guests usually arrive a little late, and the most important guests are often the last to arrive.
There are many ways to arrange seats. Generally speaking, "respect the east and respect the left", the position facing the door is the main guest, the left side of the main guest is the secondary guest, and the right side is the secondary guest. Simply put, the seats on the left are 1, 3, 5, and the seats on the right are 2, 4, 6. Different tables and banquets have different seating arrangements.
Out of respect, the host will ask the most important guests to move chopsticks first, and use public chopsticks and spoons when serving dishes, which is respectful to others and clean and hygienic.
Try not to leave while eating. If you have something important to do, you should inform the host and explain it clearly before you leave, so as to show your respect for the host, express your apologies, and do your best to be polite.
Precautions for eating and drinking:
As the saying goes, the more you drink, the stronger you get, but there is also a lot of knowledge on the wine table. The following summarizes some small details that have to be paid attention to on the wine table.
Before it was their turn to propose a toast, the leaders had a drink with each other. When toasting, you must stand up and raise your glass with both hands.
Many people can respect a person, and no one can respect many people unless you are a leader.
Respect others. If you don't clink glasses, how much you drink depends on the situation, such as the amount of alcohol and the attitude of the other party. Never drink less than the other person. You should know that you respect others.
Respect others. If you clink a glass, by the way, I'll finish it, so be generous.
Remember to add more wine to the leaders or customers. Don't just drink for the leader, that is, you have to do it. You have to pretend that you want to drink because you really want to drink, not for the leader. For example, leader A can't drink enough. Beating around the bush can stop people who want to worship leader A.
Pick up the glass (beer glass), grab the glass with your right hand and put it on the bottom with your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others'. If you are a leader, you should be sensible and don't put it too low, otherwise how can you be a person below.
If there is no special person present, it is best to touch the wine in chronological order, and don't favor one over the other.
Clink glasses, toast, have something to say.
Don't talk business at the dinner table. If you drink well, the business will be almost the same, and everyone knows it, otherwise people will not be free to drink with you.
The host respects the guests, the guests respect the guests, the guests reciprocate, and the guests respect each other.
Remember: guests must not make a noisy toast, which is very impolite and disrespectful to the host.
