Features: Table manners are one of the specific manifestations of social civilization. Over the long course of dietary life, each ethnic group forms its own standardized table manners. For example, Chinese dining etiquette has been regulated from top to bottom for thousands of years, consistently upheld, and has become a characteristic feature of Chinese culture. In contrast, contemporary world table manners are highly standardized, especially in formal banquets, where they are meticulously organized and play a significant role. Therefore, understanding the etiquette of one's own nation and other countries in the world is a must for modern people. This book comprehensively showcases table manners from various perspectives, including hosts, diners, and servers, covering family dinners to formal banquets, both domestically and internationally. By understanding these aspects, we can display our refined demeanor in today's etiquette-driven society, thereby enhancing the charm of modern table manners.
