1.Etiquette and posture for toasting
Toasting is an important way to show respect and politeness, especially from juniors to elders. The correct thing to do is to hold the wine glass with both handsMake sure the rim of your glass is lower than that of your elders as a sign of humility. At the same time, the toast should be accompanied by appropriate words to express respect, and not taking the initiative to toast or toasting in an inappropriate posture, such as casually raising a glass with one hand, may be regarded as disrespectful or ignorant.
2.Priority on the table
The order of the table reflects a culture of respect for the elders, and it is often a way of showing respect by waiting for the elders to pick up the chopsticks and start the meal first. If you rush to eat before your elders have moved their chopsticks, you may be seen as lacking patience and education.
3.Topic selection
At the dinner table, you should avoid talking about topics that your elders don't like, especially those that can be controversial about designing your personal finances and private life, which can make people feel uncomfortable and avoid unnecessary arguments. Choose topics that are more relaxed and generally accepted, such as family, children, or shared interests.
4.Consider the Xi and health of your elders
When toasting or proposing to drink, the health status and drinking Xi of the elders should be taken into account, and for those who are unwilling or notAlcohol cannot be consumed for health reasonsThe elders must show understanding and respect, and this must not be ignored!Because nothing is more important than health, it is not right to focus on your own enjoyment and ignore the physical condition of your elders.
5.Self-control of alcohol consumption
It is important to know and control how much alcohol you drink, although it may be considered rude to refuse to drink alcohol on some occasions, it is wise to reasonably refuse or show your limits. It is possible to politely explain one's reasons and offer tea or other beverages instead of alcohol, rather than a tough win and angry refusal.
