How much do you know about Hakka table manners?

First, if the elders don't go to the table, the younger generation can't move chopsticks. You can't start eating until the whole family arrives. If the elder is busy with his own business, others will wait until he is busy. Hakkas are very disciplined and cultured.

Second, the hand that eats should carry the rice bowl. Holding a bowl with both hands is not only a respect for yourself, but also a respect for others, and it can also prevent food from falling to the ground and embarrassing scenes.

Third, chopsticks can't be inserted with rice. Hakka people think this is unlucky and will especially tell their children to pay attention.

Fourth, take the initiative to add meals for the guests, paying great attention to the wording. You can't neglect the guests. It's a rule to help them with food to show their respect.

Five, chopsticks can't knock on the bowl. Like a beggar begging, to attract others' attention. Hakka children will be scolded by their parents when they knock on bowls with chopsticks. There is a famous saying in Hakka dialect: "Tintin Duo, Bitter Melon Stuffs Bean".

Sixth, when eating, you should sit up straight, don't shake your feet, don't run around with a bowl, and only sit quietly at the table to eat. Shaking one's feet shows one's frivolity, which Hakka people are not allowed to do.

Seven, the elders sit in the right position, and the younger generation sits next to them. Generally, the middle position of the table is reserved for elders or distinguished guests.

Eight, the speed of eating should not be too fast, and it should be swallowed slowly. If the child is in a hurry to eat, the parents will tell him to eat slowly and not to choke. And chewing slowly is good for your health.

Nine, you can't make any noise when drinking soup, and you can't influence others.

Ten, when eating, you can't pick and choose in the dish bowl, and you can't just eat your favorite dishes. You should eat a little of everything, which is good for your health.
