Cantonese banquets(广式宴席) are an important part of traditional culture, full of interesting customs(习俗) that show respect, friendliness and kindness. Let's explore the key rules!
Seating Rules
Seating is very organised. The main seat (usually facing the entrance) is for the most important guest, like the eldest person or the host. Other guests sit by importance—close family or friends sit near the main seat, while others take side seats. This is a way to show respect.
Food and Its Meanings
Dishes in Cantonese banquets carry special meanings. A whole chicken is a must, as the word for "chicken(ji)" sounds like "auspicious". A whole fish(yu) means "lots of good things every year" as it sounds like "plenty". Long noodles mean a long life.
Table Manners
▲ When serving food, the chicken's head or fish's middle part should face the main guest. Guests should wait for the main guest to pick up chopsticks first. After eating, don't say "I'm full." loudly—instead, say "The food is wonderful." to thank the host.
These customs make Cantonese banquets not only a feast(盛宴) for the stomach but also a way to share love and culture with others!

【解析】
