China has paid special attention to the quality of life since ancient times, not only pursuing money and wealth, but also in food and clothing, especially in diet, which has attracted the attention of many people at home and abroad. In our daily life, we often invite friends to dinner, so what dishes are essential in a banquet? The dishes in the banquet are generally divided into four categories, namely, big dishes, hot dishes, soup and cold dishes. Because of different local customs, Chinese food has different performances, but it is generally based on meat.

I. Composition of Banquet Dishes Due to different local customs and habits, the dishes in the banquet are not the same. If the city is by the sea, then the big dish is seafood. If it is in Jiangsu, the dishes are basically braised pork or pig's head. Beijing roast duck is the main dish in Beijing, and each region has different dishes. Generally speaking, the rule of serving is to put the cold dishes on the plate first, then stir-fry them before serving them, and then serve the big dishes, which are the most delicious and expensive dishes in the whole banquet. The next step is to sweeten the soup.

Second, the arrangement of banquet seats not only pays attention to the food at the banquet, but also pays attention to the seating arrangement at the banquet. Generally speaking, the principle of pursuing is to respect the east and the left. The position facing the gate is the most prestigious position, which is reserved for the host and guest. The closer to the theme, the higher the status. In the case of not facing the gate, the direction facing east is the most distinguished position. When formally entertaining guests, you should arrive at the banquet place in advance, then stand by the door and show the guests to their seats. If you want to be a guest, you should listen to the host's arrangement, don't just sit there. It can be seen that the catering culture in China is very particular.

Thirdly, banquet culture is a very common thing in China, so it has also formed a unique banquet culture in the long development process. Because China has a vast territory and rich natural resources, different regions have formed different food cultures, which also leads to different dishes in different regions, but meat is basically a big dish that should be available in every region.
