west culture(just take a rest)

Tired of sleeping on the bed ,why not learn something different from code and take a rest?

 

People become quite illogical when they try to find the differences between Chinese and western Table manners.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork. If you find the knife and fork not helpful enough, you can always ask for a pair of knifes in decent restaurants.

1. Usage of tableware

The main difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while you in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.

1. Seating arrangement

Square tables are necessary on a traditional Chinese dinner. The place where is face to the door belongs to the noble or old individuals.

1. The dinning atmosphere

Hosts will force guests eat more to show their enthusiasm and the eating atmosphere with noise and excitement reflect happiness.in the west, people eat food on their plate quietly.

1. Table language

Hosts often said” Sorry, I don’t have good dishes to treat you”. In the west, they said” I have put all the things I have to treat.”

 

 

Reasons of different table manners

Different ways of thinking come from different cultures, traditions, religions and so on.

Different values: Chinese people’s value is collectivism while western people’s value is individualism.

We should hold to the difference between china and west and we should inherit and carry forward our excellent culture, and accept and learn foreign excellent culture.
