英语作文】
the development of table
manners in china
china has
a long history and an excellent culture which is
one
of the most extensive and profound
cultures in the world. table
manner is
an important part of the chinese culture. there is
an
old saying goes, “bread is the stall
of life”. in fact, dining i
s not
only to meet the
basicphysiological needs, but also key stepof
social contact
to close the
relationship between people. under different
period and different social
backgrounds, table manners are
different. there are many reasons
behind the difference.
according to literature records,eating etiquette
has formed a
set of quite perfect
system in zhou dynasty. in the qin and han
dynasties,
people in the dining, receiving guests and other
daily
activities, all sat on ground. it
is not sit cross-legged but knees
to
the ground and soles offeet face up. you should
keep the
upper body upright, sit on
your heels. in formal situation, the
order of sat should be followed. the
most
important guest sit
facing south, than the host facing west,
other guest and companies sit facing
east and north. women
are not allowed
to eat at table, except the major guest is female
or the meal is set only for women.
before sit down to eat, you
should tidy
your clothes, wash hands and rinsemouth. this is
not only health requirements, but also
shows persons
self-
cultivation.
when it comes eating, only after the
host signal to start eating,
can
you enjoy
your food. the eating order is drink after eating,
meat
after vegetables and fruits after
meal. tea is an indispensable
step in
chinese traditional isinformal if there is no tea
on chinese table. the
owner should pay attention to the
situation in the tea cup, tea
is to
drink half a cup to refill. at the feast of the
nobility, there
would be play music or
performance of dancing. and there are
some tips you should remember when use
chopsticks, don’t
point at people with
your
chopsticks.
don’t use chopsticks as fork or knife. when there
are leftover on your chopsticks, don’t
use it to pick food or
don’t suck on
it.
there are a lot of the
same place between table manners in
modern china and ancient times. but in
some small places it
has
changed
because of western
influence. the seating order is the same as
western dinner etiquette, the first
chief guest sit right to the
host,
the other guest sit in the host’s left
or right of the first
chief guest.
depends on the specific situation it is
flexible.
the host should
servemealstart from the guests on the
right,the first is chief guestserve,
than the host,first female
guest, after
the is not the same important as
sometimes use other drinks like wine instead of
tea. wine glass can’t be poured too
full. it still maintaining the
traditional order of food, serve cold
food than the hot food, at
last, there
are desert and fruit. if there are whole chicken,
duck,
fish and other plastic dishes,
the head of them should
nottail toward the chief guest. these
programs can not only
make the whole
process of a harmonious and orderly, but also
make the identity of host and guest
clearly and easy for
emotional
expression and
communication. therefore, the table manners can
make feasts
activities
successfully.
the
development and change of chinese table manner has
been influenced by western culture,
which reflects the change
of peoples
thought. in ancient society, it has the obvious
superiority class, but the attention is
being downplayed in
modern. modern
table manners still retain many of the ancient
customs. we cant just blend in with the
world and forget to
inherit our own
traditional culture. understanding and
mastering table manners will enhanceour
self-cultivation and
contribute to
social relationships with others.
【篇二：中国的餐桌礼仪英文介绍】
in china, as with any culture, there
are rules and customs that
surround
what is appropriate and what is not when dining,
whether it is in a restaurant or in
someone’s home. learning

appropriate way to act and what to say will not
only help
you feel like a native, but
will also make those around you
more
comfortable, and able to focus on you, instead of
your
interesting eating habits.

在餐馆还是在家，用餐时也有很多禁忌。
