Clockwise rotation, from respecting to inferior, until the owner's right hand, regardless of the form of the tea table, this is a constant iron rule.

The first order of respect is: the elderly, the middle-aged, the older. Among them, teachers and elders are respecting. If age is not great, ladies should first take honour.

There is a special seat. Regulations Taboo: sit opposite to the head, head to head and face to face with the host! Even if it is only two of you and the host, do not sit on the right side. The guest who knows the etiquette should be the inferior position on the right side of the host.

The first Courtesy: the most important thing for guests to be etiquette is to answer the courtesy, also known as the return ceremony. The so-called first courtesy is that the owner has brewed the first bubble tea and asked you to taste it as the guest's first return.

Formal, formal first guest return is like this: get up, get up with a male, hold a boxing female, make a bow, sit down, take both hands (or hold the cup in both hands), smell the incense first, then slowly add the tea, put down the teacup, and praise the host (or tea or tea or others, whatever you like).

Note: the boxing fist, the right hand clench the fist, the left hand bag to go up, today's TV drama swordsman movie above, most do very standard. The hands are stretched together. Bow and bow.

It is considered impolite to smoke only when sitting down. The first tea soup of the first bubble must not be spit out in front of the host. This is regarded as a great impolite and even a provocative beginning.
