Sit up when eating, that is, put your legs together and your feet flat. Don't put your arms on the table, so as not to interfere with others' eating. When the host brings a napkin, it means that the formal meal begins, and the napkin can be placed flat on the knee. Napkins can be used to wipe your mouth and wipe.

Hands, but can't be used to wipe the face, also can't be used to wipe the dishes. Western food uses knives and forks from the outside to the inside, while Chinese food is not so particular.

When the host suggests that a dish is not delicious, don't refuse it, but take a small amount to express your gratitude; Don't eat too loudly; Dining speed is subject to the host; Don't drink it all at once, toast warmly and generously, and don't force persuasion; The host and guest clink glasses first, and raise glasses at the same time when there are many people; When the host makes a toast, he should stand up and raise his glass, and the amount of drinking should be controlled within one third of the capacity; When coughing or sneezing, cover your nose and mouth with your hand or handkerchief, or leave the table for treatment; Don't blow the soup with your mouth when it is too hot; Don't spit out the fishbones and bones in your mouth directly. Cover them with napkins and take them out by hand or tableware. You can't talk with food in your mouth. You should choose some light topics. The party usually ends after eating the fruit. At this point, you should fold the napkin and put it on the right side of the plate, and shake hands with the host to express your gratitude and farewell. Don't hold the host's hand and talk nonstop, which will hinder the host from seeing the guests off.
