【正文】 our hand and say “excuse me” afterwards. Do not pass wind in public Now how can we say this politely? Let’s say that you want to pass wind. What do you do? Go somewhere private and let it out. It is impolite speak with your mouth full of food. Do not ask personal or intimate questions: They do not ask questions such as: How much money do you earn? How much do you weigh? Or why aren’t you married? Never eat off a knife when having a meal. III. Chinese etiquettes The Chinese will nod or bow slightly as an initial greeting. Handshakes are also popular。 wait, however, for your Chinese counterpart to initiate the gesture. If you visit a school, theater, or other workplace, it is likely that you will be greeted with applause as a sign of wele. In turn, you should respond by applauding back. Avoid making expansive gestures and using unusual facial expressions. The Chinese do not use their hands when speaking, and will only bee annoyed with a speaker who does. Some hand gestures, however, are necessary. They are outlined in the next two points. To summon attention, turn your palm down, waving your fingers toward yourself. Use your whole hand rather than your index finger to point. The Chinese, especially those who are older and in positions of authority, dislike being touched by strangers. Acknowledge the most senior person in a group first. Smiling is not as noticeable in China, since there is a heavy emphasis on repressing emotion. Members of the same sex may hold hands in public. Public displays of affection, such as kissing, between the sexes are frowned upon. Do not put your hands in your mouth, as it is considered vulgar. Consequently, when in public, avoid biting your nails, removing food from your teeth, and similar practices. Pushing is mon in lineups. Spitting in public is acceptable. Blowing your nose with a handkerchief is also acceptable. Dress Code: Casual clothes are acceptable everywhere, although smarter clothes can gain more respect. Revealing clothes should be avoided. Problems that arise in China through cultural differences can often be put down to simple misunderstandings. In general, Chinese people are not forthing with information unless they are specifically asked for it, so be prepared to ask direct questions to get the information you need. Locals may not even speak honestly but will try to say what they think you want to hear. This is not done maliciously and an element of patience and understanding will ease the situation. Chinese people are courteous but reserved and politeness is appreciated at all times. Don39。t always be fooled by a smile as this can mean that the person is upset or embarrassed and try to avoid confrontational situations that may cause a loss of face. Confrontation is not appreciated and will only worsen rather than resolve any situation. Family Meals Although customs and the kinds of food eaten vary according to region, it is most mon for Chinese families to gather for three meals a day. In some areas and at some times of the year, laborers may have only two full meals a day, but when possible, they supplement these with up to three smaller ones, often taken at tea houses. There is not, in general, the strong association we have in the West between the type of food and the time of day it should be served (say, eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, pot roast for dinner). The sorts of dishes served at the two or three main meals are pretty much the same. The goal in planning, however, is to provide a number of dishes at each meal, so that, rather than experiencing difference by parison between one meal and the next, each meal includes, in itself, a satisfying array of elements. The Stuff of the Meal The center of the Chinese meal is fan, or grain. So much so that the meal itself is called hsia fan, a period of grain. In the South and among urban families in other areas, the fan may be rice or rice products, but rice is expensive, as is the wheat eaten in the North in the form of cooked whole grains, noodles, or bread. Depending on the region, then, less prosperous families might make their meals of millet, shum, or corn. The meats and vegetables we think of as the focus of the meal are known as ts39。ai, which means something like side dishes one could almost go so far as to call them condiments for the fan. Who Eats When and How Eating begins in order of seniority, with each diner taking the cue to start from his or her immediate superior. Children are taught to eat equally from each ts39。ai dish in turn, never betraying a preference for a particular item by eating more of it, never seeming to pause to choose a specific bite from the plate. In order to cool the soup a bit and to better diffuse the flavor in the mouth, soup is eaten by sipping from the spoon while breathing in. This method, of course, produces the slurping noise that is taboo in the West. To eat fan, a diner raises the bowl to her lips and pushes the grains into her mouth with chopsticks. This is the easiest way to eat it and shows proper enjoyment eating fan from a bowl left sitting on the table suggests dissatisfaction with the food. The diner must finish all the fan. To leave even a grain is considered bad manners, a lack of respect for the labor required to produce it.
