As they say, when in Rme, d as the Rmans d. The fllwing basic Chinese table manners will help yu generally master Chinese dinner manners.
One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is prtin （一份） size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized fr individuals （个人），dishes ffered in Chinese restaurants are meant t be shared. As such，fd either cmes in bite﹣sized pieces，r is prepared in a way that makes it easy t prtin（分配） while being served t yu n large plates.
As meals are shared，ne may care abut the degree f sanitatin （公共卫生）.Itˈs cmmn t find cmmunal chpsticks（公筷） placed with each dish. It is gd manners t use the cmmunal utensils in a public setting.
Yu may als ntice that tables，especially thse in larger dining rms，are rund and have a lazy Susan （mre cmmnly knwn as "that rtating （旋转的） table n tp f yur table"）.Besides efficiency（效率）purpses，circular tables stand fr imprtant meaning in Chinese culture.

In a setting where there is n drway—utdr dining，fr example﹣the seat f hnr wuld be the ne facing east. In a banquet envirnment，the table f hnr is usually the ne sitting farthest away frm the dr.
The time at which the dining begins depends n the presence f party members. The suitable time t dig in is after the guest f hnr，r the eldest member f the grup，is seated and has begun their meal. Smetimes they will mean the start f a meal，by saying"吃吧"which means “Please eatˈˈ.
33.What shuld we d if we have meals in a public setting？
