Manners in China China has a profound history and there are many manners that I am not familiar with even as a Chinese . China is a country famous for its tea culture .Chinese tea is completely different from British tea .While drinking tea ,there are a lot of manners .When you invite a guest to ,you are supposed to make tea for them .You should pour your tea slowly from your tea pot when it's done and hot .The cup should be 80% full in case of spoiling .The guest can choose whether he or she drink it or not .However ,if you start to drink but you don't drink it all ,it is impolite of you . While drinking tea over a meal ,toasting is important .If the other side is older than you or your boss ,your cup is supposed to be lower than his or her . Feasting is also special in China .The host is seated in the main seat and the hostess is on his right .Important guests should eat first .You'd better stand up to toast everyone and the host should pour alcohol or tea for guests to show respect .You can also bring a small gift to dinner ,but it's impolite to open other people's gift over the meal . In order to avoid misunderstanding ,obeying the manners is important .
