It's rude to just dig in without waiting! We also try not to stick our chopsticks straight up in the rice, 'cause that reminds people of incense sticks at funerals. No one wants that sad vibe at dinner!When the bowl's empty, we put our chopsticks across the top. That means "I'm done!" Don't just leave them sticking out of the bowl all messy. We also try not to make loud noises when chewing or slurping soup. That's considered improper.Oh, and remember to use a spoon for soups and stews! Using chopsticks can splash broth everywhere. Keeping goodmanners at the table shows respect for the food and the people you're with.

I'm going to tell you all about them!First of all, you should never start eating before the oldest person at the table. That would be very rude. You have to wait until they pick up their chopsticks and start eating. Then you can start too.It's also bad manners to stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice.

Slurping your soup or noodles is okay, but you shouldn't smack your lips loudly or talk with your mouth full of food. That's just gross!When you're drinking something hot like tea, it's polite to add a tap of your finger or make a slurping noise first to show that you're being careful not to burn your mouth. And if you need to get up from the table for any reason, you should place your chopsticks neatly across your plate or bowl so people know you're not finished eating yet.Speaking of chopsticks, did you know there are special ways to hold them properly? You're supposed to use just your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Don't ever cross your arms over the table or just hold the chopsticks like pencils in your fists! That looks so uncivilized.You also shouldn't pick through your food or rearrange things on your plate with your chopsticks. It makes it seem like you're being picky and don't appreciate the food. Just eat what you're served politely.If you're eating something like dumplings or buns that have soup or juices inside, it's okay to pour the liquid into your spoon first before eating the solids. But never drink straight from the bowl or plate! Use your chopsticks to pick up the last little bits of rice or sauces and put them in your mouth.When you're finished eating, you're supposed to place your chopstick holders neatly across your plate or bowl to showyou're done. Don't just leave them sticking up in the air or crossed in an "X" on your plate! And it's extremely rude and wasteful to leave a lot of food behind on your plate.Those are the main Chinese table manners I can think of for now. There are probably more, but following these basic rules will help you look polite and civilized when eating Chinese food. Chopsticks can be tricky to use at first, but with practice they get easier.

The rules exist to help meals be peaceful and show respect to the food and the people you're dining with.

Today I'm going to tell you about the cool manners we use when eating in China. It's super important to be polite at the table.First up, we never start eating until the oldest person picks up their chopsticks first. That's like the signal that says "OK, time to dig in!" We have to wait for them.Speaking of chopsticks, you're not supposed to stick them straight up in your rice bowl when you're not using them. That's kind of rude.

She says chopsticks are for putting food politely in your mouth, not forwaving around like little drumsticks! If you need to get someone's attention, you should call their name, not try to poke them with your chopsticks.Another big no-no is making gross noises when you eat. Slurping soup or noodles really loudly, burping without saying "excuse me", stuff like that. My parents hate it when I do that. They say things like "Were you raised in a barn?" Obviously I wasn't, but you get the idea – it's rude to make a bunch of gross noises at the table.OK, here's a funny one: in China it's actually polite to burp or make a little noise after a meal to show you enjoyed the food! Just a little burp though, not some huge belch that sounds like a foghorn. My dad always gives a little burp and says "That was delicious!" My grandparents do it too. I think it's kind of gross but they insist it's proper manners.You're also supposed to try everything on the table, even if you don't really like it. It's considered bad manners to be a picky eater. My parents make me at least taste everything before I can be excused. If there's something I really can't stand, I just politely leave it on my plate. I'm not supposed to make gagging noises or push it away rudely.Some other quick tips: Don't pick your teeth at the table. Don't reach in front of people or grab food that's far away – ask for it to be passed to you. Chew with your mouth closed. Don't talk with your mouth full. Always use a napkin.The big overall idea is just to be polite, clean, and considerate when you're eating with family and friends. Food is sacred in Chinese culture, so we show it respect. Those are some key tips on Chinese table manners! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇6Chinese Table MannersMy grandma always tells me to have good manners at the dinner table. In China, we have special rules we follow when eating. It's impolant to be polite and not make a mess!First, you can't stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice bowl. That's how we set out chopsticks for people who died. It's bad luck! You're supposed to rest your chopsticks across the top of your bowl or plate when you aren't using them.You also can't pick up your rice bowl and drink from it like a cup. That's really rude! You have to use your chopsticks to pushrice into your mouth bit by bit. Slurping your soup or noodles is okay though. The louder you slurp, the more you're showing you like the food!Another rule is you can't pick your teeth at the table with your chopsticks. That's gross! You have to use a toothpick after the meal is over. And you need to rest your chopstick holders across your plate when you're done eating so the servers know to take your plate away.Sometimes my grandma makes me practice using the chopsticks properly. It's hard! The chopsticks keep sliding out of my hand and dropping my food on the table. But grandma says it's impolant to keep trying until I get it right. She doesn't want me to embarass our family by having bad table manners.Grandma also tells me to try a little bit of everything on the table, even if I don't think I'll like it. In China, the host works really hard to make lots of different dishes. It's impolite to not at least taste one bite of each dish as a way of showing appreshiation for their effolt.There are some dishes Chinese people don't each much of too though. Like chicken feet or sea cucumber. Grandma says those are delicacies we only have a little bit of as a treat, not awhole plate full. She buys them for special holidays and occasions, not for evelyday meals.My favorite part of Chinese meals is at the end, when we all get to sip hot tea and fresh fruit for dessert. Grandma lets me try brewing the tea leaves myself. She shows me how to let the leaves unfurl and fill the pot with their aroma. The fruit is always so sweet and juicy too!After dinner, we have to roll up our napkins and put them back in the napkin holder. We can't just leave them messy and crumpled up on the table. Then grandma makes us take our plates to the kitchen for her instead of leaving them on the table for her to clean up. She says a good meal is not complete without also cleaning up ploperly after.Eating meals together as a family is very impolant in Chinese culture. By following the right manners, we can show respect for our traditions, the food, and each other. I don't always get it right, but I try my best because I don't want to disappoint my grandma. Having good manners at the table is one way I can honor my family.。
