The arrangement of the banquet level is very particular.
When arranging seats for Chinese banquets, we must first determine the location of the host. The location of the host is generally opposite to the entrance and exit of the banquet hall, which can be viewed from the overall situation or arranged in front of the key decoration of the banquet hall, so that guests can see the host as soon as they enter the banquet hall.
The deputy director is arranged opposite to the main, usually with his back to the main door, so that the main can arrange the specific matters of the deputy director. The guest of honor is arranged on the right side of the host, which is convenient for the host to take care of the guest of honor.
The deputy guest of honor is arranged on the right side of the deputy guest, which is convenient for the deputy guest to take care of the deputy guest of honor. If the guest of honor and his wife are present, the guest of honor can be arranged next to the guest of honor or to the right of the host's wife. In addition, guests with similar status need to be arranged together to facilitate communication.
Translators can be arranged on the right side of the guest of honor and the deputy guest of honor, which is convenient for the guest of honor and the deputy guest of honor to translate. The escort can be arranged elsewhere.
Like other manners, table manners are based on caring for others. When sitting, where to sit is not a problem, but generally you sit from the left side of the chair, so you should try not to make any noise.
When eating at someone else's house, you have to wait for the hostess to designate a seat. Of course, women should sit before men.
2. Etiquette on the wine table
Etiquette began to appear when human beings began to pursue spiritual needs.
The etiquette on the wine table is one of them. It combines humanistic wisdom from ancient times to the present, absorbs humorous language art, elegant and gentle personal charm and polite table manners, accommodates colorful world of values and human feelings, and builds emotional bridges with wine and language as the media.
So what are the etiquette on the wine table? Pay attention to timing and discretion when toasting. There is no denying that drinking can really add atmosphere to dinner and connect each other's feelings. We all have this experience. Everyone was very polite at the dinner table. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was laughing and full of interest.
Everyone should be happy when drinking, but also pay attention to the timing and discretion. Pay due attention to the drinking friends at the same table. 1. Don't say "I can't drink" after drinking it. Beware of people calling you hypocritical. You can judge whether people can drink, not by yourself.
Second, when there is not enough wine, put the bottle in the middle of the table and let others add it themselves. Don't pour the wine one by one foolishly. What if the people in the back don't have wine? Third, peanuts are a good thing for people who drink. It is essential to keep a clear head and ask questions after drinking. A cup of yogurt, a cup of hot water and a hot towel all show your concern.
Toast is methodical and clear. 1. Toast and drink with other leaders before the start. Second, unless you are a leader, you can rely on one person to respect many people, otherwise many people will respect one person.
Third, under normal circumstances, toasts should be made in the order of age, position and the identity of the guest and the host. Before toasting, fully consider the toasting order. If there is no special person present, it is best to propose a toast clockwise.
Be careful not to leave the cup empty. 1. Respect others by yourself. Touch a glass and say I'm finished, so be generous. If you don't touch glasses, don't drink less than the other person. You should know that you are respecting others. Second, before drinking, hold the cup in your right hand and pad the bottom of the cup in your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others.
However, if you are a leader, don't put yourself too low, otherwise you won't be the next person. Third, don't leave your cup empty. When people see that there is no wine in your glass, they will come and pour it for you. And there will always be a glass of stuffy wine after the banquet, which may be caught off guard.
If you can't drink, play a trick. What if you have to drink when you can't? Besides making some preparations before drinking, you should also learn some abstinence skills. ■ Take defense as the attack: don't take the initiative to attack. Eat some fatty and starchy foods at the bottom after serving, so that it is not easy to get drunk when drinking.
■ master the rhythm: drink slowly, don't drink too much at once. There may be a lot of alcohol in dinner, so don't let go of red wine, beer and white wine, because it is especially easy to get drunk when mixed together.
■ Steal the bait and switch the bait: put two big cups in front of the table, one with white wine and the other with mineral water, toast with a small glass and drink water frequently. When appropriate, water can be used instead of wine. After a toast, don't swallow it immediately. Find a chance to wipe your mouth with a napkin and spit the wine in.
Put half a cup of tea in front of you before drinking. Don't swallow it after drinking it. Pick up the teacup quickly and spit the wine into the teacup when drinking. Change it when the water is full. Table manners emphasize that all people enjoy drinking to enliven the atmosphere. At the dinner table, besides proper toast, we should also pay attention to certain etiquette: 1.
Everyone enjoys the same happiness, so don't whisper at the party. Because personal interests and knowledge are different, the topic should not be too biased. We should talk as much as possible about some topics that most people can participate in and get the approval of most people.
Avoid being self-centered, far apart, and talking endlessly, leading to digression and ignoring others. In particular, try not to whisper to others, giving people a sense of mystery.
2。 Aim at the subject and object and grasp the overall situation. Most dinners have a theme. When you go to eat, you should first look at the expressions around you and prioritize. Don't drink for the sake of drinking, and lose the opportunity to make friends, let alone let some grandstanding drinkers disturb the host's meaning.
3。 Appropriate language and humorous wine table can show a person's talent, common sense, cultivation and communication etiquette. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on the guests and make people feel good about you invisibly.
Therefore, it is very important to know when to say something, to use appropriate language, and to be humorous. 4。
Persuade moderation, don't insist on not using the wine field as a battlefield, always want to persuade others to drink more, thinking that drinking enough is unrealistic. Sometimes too much persuasion will completely destroy the feelings of the original friends.
According to a survey, more than 60% people are disgusted with frequent persuasion. With the progress of society, more and more people feel that they should drink well and not drink too much at parties. Look at all kinds of dinner greetings summarized by netizens, and they all express the same meaning: moderate drinking: weeding at noon, sweating and drinking three glasses of wine. Do you feel bitter? Touch gracefully, sip culturally, moisten tastefully, smell creatively and swing individually.
Friends and relatives don't give up drinking at parties, treat each other sincerely for a long time, don't give up drinking all year round, and be healthy and happy forever. Don't insist on drinking, but stay in your heart! Although there is no old wine, the true feelings will last forever! Old wine never touches the mouth, and health is there every year! Emotional iron is not iron, iron! Drinking is afraid of stomach bleeding; Feelings deep or not, deep! I'm afraid of intravenous drip! When you get drunk, it will hurt your body and stomach. Let's drink a cup of tea, and the coming year will be more prosperous.

Focus on appreciating the dishes. Ninth, when you finally leave the table, you must thank your host, or invite your host to your home at this time to show your gratitude.

4. Toast etiquette and table manners when seeking entertainment.
The table manners and dining manners in China have a long history.
According to the literature, at least in the Zhou Dynasty, the catering etiquette had formed a fairly perfect system, especially praised by Confucius in the ceremony of offering wine to Lu, which became an important aspect of showing the face of a big country, a state of etiquette and a place of civilization in successive dynasties. As a tradition of Han nationality, ancient banquet etiquette has its own set of procedures: the host is invited to meet the guests temporarily outside the door.
When the guests arrive, they greet each other, introduce them to the living room and provide refreshments. After the guests are seated, guide them to their seats, with the left side facing up, which is regarded as the chief. There are two seats relative to the first seat, three seats under the first seat and four seats under the second seat.
When the guests are seated, the host toasts and dishes, and the guests thank each other with gifts. There is also a certain emphasis on serving wine at the dinner: respect the elders and guests first, and then the host.
After the banquet, guide the guests to sit in the living room and serve tea until they say goodbye. This traditional banquet etiquette is still intact in most parts of China, such as Shandong, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, and it is reflected in many film and television works.
Influenced by the introduction of western food in Qing dynasty, some western etiquette was also introduced. Such as serving food, serving soup and serving wine, Chinese etiquette is also introduced because of reasonable and hygienic eating methods.
The exchange of Chinese and western food culture makes the catering etiquette more scientific and reasonable. Modern Chinese banquet etiquette is developed on the basis of continuing the tradition and drawing lessons from foreign etiquette.
Its seating is based on the principle of the highest right in western banquets. The first guest sits on the host's right, and the second guest sits on the host's left or the first guest's right. The wine is served on the guest's right, first the guest of honor, then the host, first the female guest, then the male guest. Pour eight cents of wine, not too full.
The order of serving is still traditional, cold first and then hot. Hot dishes should be placed on the left side of the seat opposite the guest of honor; Serve single dishes or side dishes, pre-dinner snacks, whole chicken, whole duck and whole fish and other plastic dishes, without head and tail facing the main theme.
These procedures can not only make the whole banquet process harmonious and orderly, but also reflect and communicate the identity and feelings of the host and guests. Therefore, the etiquette above the table can make the banquet activities complete and comprehensive, and make the cultivation of both the host and the guest fully displayed.
