The basic knowledge of drinking culture at the table. In history, Confucianism has been regarded as the orthodox view of governing the country and ensuring national security, and the customs of drinking have also been influenced by the Confucian perspective of drinking culture. As the late Eastern people of the Confucian and Mencius culture, they not only inherit the extremely precious theoretical shining points in their ideological schools, but also rely on the accumulation of these knowledge to enrich and improve the wine culture of drinking, and promote the influence of Confucianism on wine culture, which is nothing more than emphasizing the character of wine ethics. The meaning of the two characters "Jiu De" in the "Book of Songs" and "Shang Shu" means that those who drink alcohol must have moral conduct, and cannot subvert Jue De like a king, and be proficient in alcohol. The "Jiu Gao" in the "Shang Shu" reflects the Confucian concept of "Jiu De" and "Jiu Shi" (drinking alcohol only during rituals); Wuyi liquor (do not drink regularly, drink less in daily life to save food, and only drink when sick); Drinking in groups (prohibiting people from drinking in groups); Prohibition of indulgence does not oppose drinking alcohol. The use of alcohol to worship gods and elderly guests is a virtue that is well known throughout the world. From ancient historical records, it can be seen that the image of Liangshan heroes in the Water Margin eating meat in large chunks and drinking in large bowls leaves a deep impression on people. This table culture can only be a drop in the ocean of history. To be honest, as far as the north is concerned, Shandong people do not drink as fiercely as Northeastern people, nor do they drink as vigorously as Northwestern people Bold and unrestrained, in terms of alcohol tolerance, it may not be as good as Inner Mongolian people. For the South, previously people in the South were not allowed to drink, but in recent years, there have also been astonishing wine stars in many areas of the South, with a strong trend of catching up. There is also a unique wine culture in the south. The daughter's wine in the south is first recorded as the "Southern Grass and Tree Shape" by Ji Han, a Jin person. It is said that when people in the south are several years old, they begin to brew wine, which is buried at the bottom of a pond and only taken out for guests to drink when their daughter gets married. However, overall, there are many customs and etiquette on the table of Shandong people, and there are also many drinking methods. These things are mixed to enhance the atmosphere and enhance emotions, so when it comes to the knowledge at this table, Shandong should be the first choice. Say take a seat. (Taking the round table as an example)

Let's talk about taking a seat first. (Taking the round table as an example, the main accompaniment position, as the name suggests, refers to the person who pays the bill for the banquet. The main accompaniment is the highest ranking person for the banquet, or the most prestigious person for accompanying the wine. The position is facing the main door of the room. The main function is basically to grasp the program, time, degree of drinking, and other aspects of the banquet. The auxiliary accompaniment position is the second most important position on the side of the banquet, in other words, the person who accompanies the guest is the second most distinguished among the accompaniers.) People. The position is located opposite the host's companion, and its main function is to rely on one's own actions to drive guests to drink, deepening the emotional difficulties between the host and guest. 3. The host's guest position is the most important person that the guest is entertaining, and is the highest ranking or most prestigious person among the guests. Located on the right side of the main companion, next to the main companion. Due to many people's consideration of the severity of alcohol consumption in Shandong, it is not right for outsiders who have some knowledge of Shandong's rules to sometimes choose to have someone with a high alcohol capacity take this position. The rules of inviting guests are often a form of etiquette, but in essence, they are still a form of respect. If the above situation occurs, the actual guest of honor will not drink much less, and the honored guest of honor will generally be poured down (because you are not the most prestigious guest but sit in the guest of honor position because you can drink, and the guest is willing to accompany you well), so the guest will not be worth the loss. It is important to avoid that the guest of honor is the focus of attention for the entire table, and it is also the top priority for all treatment. 4 The position of the deputy guest of honor is the second most important position on the guest side. In recent years, it has been awarded the humorous title of "Assassin (Secondary Guest)", and the position is on the left side of the main companion, next to the main companion. Generally, it refers to the person who is second only to the main guest in terms of status or status in the banquet. This is a term that has just become popular in recent years. In fact, this position is similar to the titles of the main companion and deputy companion mentioned above, and the rules are the same in various places in Shandong Province, usually in the second position on the right side of the main companion. His main function is to accompany the guest to the third important position on the guest's side by placing the guest in a convenient position for taking photos. The position of four guests on the right side of the companion is the fourth important position on the guest's side. The seat quantity is on the left side of the companion, and there is no clear seating arrangement for other guests. Under standard circumstances.

If I really can't remember clearly, let me tell you two simple methods: first, the shape of the napkin. In a regular hotel, you can tell by looking at the square napkin in the wine glass on the table. The folding method of the napkins in the two most important positions is unique. The main accompanying napkin is usually folded into a cylindrical shape and inserted into a cup. If not, it is necessary to ensure that the shape of his napkin is the highest, or use different colored napkins instead. And the accompanying napkin is folded into a fan-shaped shape. The napkins in other positions are generally in a three fold petal shape. The layout of the entire napkin is a bit like a phoenix spreading its wings. Once these two seats are fixed in other positions, it is easy to determine the folding method of napkins in different regions, which is difficult to distinguish from each other in terms of shape and may actually vary. The second is chopsticks. In a more formal hotel, two pairs of chopsticks are used for the main and auxiliary positions, Commonly known as Public chopsticks. The function of public chopsticks is to serve dishes for politeness, serving them to others, and starting to pour drinks when the guests sit down. Shandong people like to drink, especially in large bowls. This seems to have the legacy of Liangshan heroes. Although large bowls are no longer used nowadays, small cups are not used. If you see Shandong people drinking with those three money small wine cups in movies or TV dramas, it is either a show off or because of age. The standard cup in Shandong nowadays It's three or three tall glasses (it's impossible to find out who was the first to use this kind of glass, but it seems that a bottle of Baijiu can just pour three glasses), and there are also two or two half glasses. The alcohol is generally Baijiu, which is about 38 degrees (Shandong people don't like strong liquor very much). Of course, beer is also the favorite of Shandong people, but it is generally converted according to the ratio of Baijiu and beer 1:6. As the saying goes, the main partner plays one piece, and the vice partner practices alone. Of course, this first glass of wine needs to be accompanied and led by the Lord. The main accompaniment usually needs to have an opening statement, be polite, and then set a tone. That means this glass of wine needs to be consumed in several installments. In some places, it's called 'six starts'. The meaning of "starting" includes the meaning of "developing", which is lucky. But in Dongying, it seems that three times is the net. This three times is the main way to bring three cups of beer and three mouthfuls of Baijiu are at the bottom of the cup. The allusion of "wine passing three rounds" comes from here. (* *) Another explanation of "six times" is that only Baijiu is available, and there are four or six times. Every time the main way to bring people to drink, there must be a beginning ", that is, a toast, This wine usually does not touch the glass, and even after touching the glass, one should sit down and drink it. Shandong people have a convention that standing and drinking is not counted. If you don't touch your glass, you can raise your glass under the table and call it "over the phone". In recent years, it has been renamed as "I often hear the ping-pong sound of the glass hitting the table in restaurants. The table is jokingly called" the Beggar's Sect has a meeting. "This way, everyone can drink, eat, and talk under the guidance of the host
