Tea is the embodiment of the elegance of the literati Moke Qing, "three bowls of dry intestines, only five thousand volumes of text"; wine is the fermentation agent of the brave man, and Wu Song drank eighteen bowls of rice wine and killed the big insects with his fist.
Tea and wine, as indispensable spices in Chinese life, have become a unique traditional culture and an important embodiment of Chinese hospitality etiquette. There are still less than ten days to go, and the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is coming.
Visiting relatives and friends, visiting the door is indispensable custom, and knowing more about the etiquette related to tea and wine will not make yourself disrespectful, but also can see that people are weak.
The old ancestor's proverb "tea is full of deception, wine is full of respect", what does it mean? It's almost New Year's Day, so let's take a look at hospitality.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > first, tea full of deception</h1>
Tea was the guest of honor of the ancient literati and gentlemen, and it was also the daily drink of the princes and generals. Drinking tea is a state of mind, but also a kind of hospitality to treat people with courtesy.
The ancients drank tea to drink the best, the first thing after the guest and host sat down, is to put the tea in the teapot first, the ancients called it boiling tea.
"Or a cup of tea, or a chapter of poetry" between the literati not only reflects the elegance of the literati, but also expresses the host's hospitality.
The friendship between the host and the guest gradually warms up with the flowing tea aroma and the mellow tea soup in the mouth. Although on the surface may still be humble and courteous, but in the heart is already like a fire.
"Tea full deception" is a more traditional way of hospitality, saying that when pouring tea, it must not be poured full, on the one hand, for the sake of tea drinkers, because the temperature of the newly boiled tea is very high.
If the tea cup overflows when pouring tea, then the guest will fall into a more embarrassing situation, want to pick up the tea cup and be afraid of hot hands, do not take the tea cup and fear the owner's heart.
In fact, the ancients believed that a full cup of tea was suspected of cheating customers, because only when they did not want people to drink tea, or did not want to let guests stay for a long time, they would deliberately pour a full cup of tea.
In this way, the guests will understand and find an excuse to leave in a hurry, and the relationship between the two will gradually become estranged from then on. In addition, tea leaves can only be brewed with boiling water to evaporate the aroma, and once the teacup is filled, the aroma will be lost.
On the contrary, if you only pour half a cup of tea, not only can you keep the aroma in the teacup, but you can also let the guests enjoy the pleasure of smelling tea. It not only reflects the host's care for the guests, but also conforms to the traditional hospitality.
There is also a cup of tea poured over the guests and gently blown, and the tea will spill out. Tea drinking emphasizes slow taste, and the newly boiled tea cannot be drunk at once.
The tea itself is particularly hot, and a whole cup of tea is not conducive to heat dissipation, so guests have no way to taste tea. All in all, the tea should not be poured full, otherwise it is disrespectful to the guests.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, full of wine</h1>
"Wine is the essence of grain, the more you drink, the younger you are", since ancient times, people have a special love for wine, whether it is the Tianzi feasting on the courtiers, or the gathering of the people.
After drinking alcohol, the ancient literati and inkers would be full of poetry, and then created many famous works that have been passed down through the ages. And the soldiers will also drink alcohol before going to the battlefield, "grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately urge." Drunkenly lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, and Gu Lai conquered several people back. ”
Compared with the skill of pouring tea, when pouring wine to guests, you must not be too stingy, you must pour the wine glass full, even if there is wine spilling, do not care.
"Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in a big mouth" will also make guests feel valued, and it also reflects the host's hospitality. Since the raw materials for winemaking are grains, the wine produced is particularly precious, and if the host is willing to take such a precious wine out and drink with the guests, it shows that the host has great respect for the guests.
At the same time, you should also know that wine is not like tea, it does not need to be boiled on the fire, only need to be scalded with hot water, you can make the wine warm.
Drinking in this way will not be too cold in the mouth, and drinking into the stomach will also have the effect of warming the stomach. When guests come to the house during the New Year's Festival, be sure to remember the etiquette of a full glass of wine, otherwise it will make people feel too stingy.
Drinking wine is a lively, every New Year's Festival, everyone gets together, pushing cups to change cups, for the time of staggering, strong feelings have long been integrated into the wine.
After a large mouthful of hot wine into the throat, there will be a feeling of drunkenness and self-drunkenness, which will push the banquet to a climax under this premise, and also reflect the warm hospitality etiquette of the host.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > conclusion</h1>

Do not ask three do not know, resulting in guests feel snubbed, after all, warm hospitality is the traditional custom of Chinese, good tea, good wine, good meat to entertain guests, do not offend people because of the details.
