I learned that there are two types of Chinese cooking styles: boiling and braising. Boiling includes Hot Pot which was created over 10, 000 years ago. In this type of cooking style, you place multiple items of foods in a boiling pot of water at a high temperature. On the other hand, braising was adopted by the Chinese and taken from the French. In this process, you place a certain amount and variety of food into a boiling pot of water at a lower temperature.

I learned from Jordan Forte that in northern China noodles are more popular and in southern China rice is more popular. This is mainly because of the wheat the land gives northern China, and in southern China rice grows so well there which is why it is a very common dish.https://youtu.be/v8A1xTv5U1

I learned the mannerisms of eating at Chinese restaurants for example sampling all the food at least once on the table and also letting the elders eat first. I also learned the things Chinese people eat like buns, fried dough, noodles, and porridge for breakfast. But they don’t eat sweet things like waffles and pancakes for breakfast like Americans. Chinese food is generally cheap to buy unlike American food. For lunch, Chinese people eat things like rice, noodles, dumplings, soup, and hotpot.

Throughout the article I was able to learn and to understand the differences and uniqueness of Chinese meal culture. Such as their manner, their respects towards the elders, the use of chopsticks, the meal, and lastly their tipping system. The article also mentioned the seating arrangement of Chinese meals which interested me the most. As a Chinese I am able to link many of the cultural practices to my daily life.

I learned that in China, people are used to having dinner in noisy environments while people in the United States prefer a quiet environment. In China, people do not give tips but in America they do.

I learned that In American dining, characteristics are more so focused on the table; correct utensil use, food consumption, and body language whereas, Chinese table mannerisms are a lot more intricate. Appealing more to a rank system, Chinese dining has a lot to do with who the guest of honor is, where he or she sits, and how gratitude is shown. All of the manors in China have historical background which I think is really interesting. https://youtu.be/jkyE2rPac3s

Something that I learned is the significance of Chinese etiquette while eating. It is very important for people to recognize the high honor and respect that the host and elderly people have at the dinner table, which is why you must wait for them to sit down first and eat before you can do it. If you fail to follow this rule, you could end up embarrassing not only yourself, but your family as well.

Some things I learned about table etiquette is to not sit in the seat of honor(the center seat facing the entrance). When ordering you should order in variety and in an even number because an odd number isn’t meant for funeral meals. It is also polite to pour tea for those around you, placing your left hand on the cap and holding it with your right.

Form Jacks paper I learned how to properly pour tea and receive tea without being disrespectful. That you never full close the tea but leave the cover slightly ajar. Also you only order what the host has allowed you to order or else it is disrespectful. You should always let the host order for they are going to pay for the meal but you should always offer to pay the bill in a respectful way.

I learned about the dissimilarity between American and Chinese dinning etiquette. In Chinese culture, they place the napkins underneath their plates instead of on their laps. People at the dining table are also dissuaded from stabbing their chopsticks in the center of their food vertically. This can be linked to incense which is typically used during funerals. On the topic of chopsticks, this is also something unique to Asian cultures. Instead of using a fork, the Chinese will use two sticks. Deciding to use two sticks instead of a conventional eating utensil is rooted in tradition.

I have learned some General Chinese etiquettes that I did not know before like not sitting down before the guest of honor isn’t seated. In addition when someone pours you tea, you tap two fingers on the table to show your gratitude. In Chinese restaurants, the table is round so that it isn’t easier for everyone to share the food. Chinese etiquettes are different from American ones, but with some practice, it is very easy to adapt.

I learned that there are some disrespectful etiquette for using chopsticks. Some of these include the fact that it is impolite to point because chopsticks are considered an extension of your fingers. Chopsticks were started by China and eventually spread throughought  Asia in as little as 200 years. It was first used only to cook foods, but was later used to eat. It is also bad table etiquette to stick chopsticks standing up in rice, because it looks like incense in the food, which is only for the deceased.
