Chinese table manners are the traditional styles that are used for eating in the region of China. In most dishes in Chinese cuisine, food is cooked in bite-sized
pieces and easy to grab and eat. Therefore, chopsticks are used at the table instead of forks and knives.
Eating is a dominant aspect of the Chinese culture, and in China, eating out is one of
the most accepted ways to treat guests. Similar to Westerners drinking in a bar with
friends, eating together in China is a way to socialize and deepen friendships. There are many traditions that govern table manners in China such as the correct treatment of guests and how to use chopsticks correctly. Although each Chinese household has its own set of table manners and rules, the foundational traditions used to welcome guests are the same.
