What do Hakkas eat? 2 Hakka hospitality etiquette.

Hakka is an excellent ethnic group in the Han nationality, and has been known for its politeness since ancient times. People trust each other and maintain good interpersonal relationships. There are certain manners between parents and children, between relatives, between neighbors, between elders and younger generations. Everyone must observe this etiquette. If you don't do this, you will be laughed at and even said that "Grandpa died young and taught little".

Hakka people have many complicated manners. Because the author has little knowledge, and it is impossible to cover everything in a short article, so he can only give a few examples.

When entertaining guests, the male guests are accompanied by men, offering cigarettes and the female serving tea. You can't "shirtless" or "wear underwear" to receive guests, nor can you bend over, cross your legs, pick your nose or play with your feet at will. Tea is also very particular. When serving tea to guests alone, use both hands. Guests often serve tea on trays. Guests should get up when they take tea. If he doesn't get up, he has to say he's sorry. I didn't get up. The host replied that you're welcome. Five fingers in the right hand and four fingers in the left hand mean "all corners of the country are brothers, and tomorrow life will be somewhere".

Dine. When the host has a meal with the guests, please ask the guests or elders to sit in their seats, and pour wine to the guests according to the size of the seats at the banquet. Take square tables and round tables as examples: those who accompany guests sit at No.8 square table and No.0 round table 10, and pour wine according to the seat size. These rules are very particular, especially in the vast rural areas.

The host will give the guests a big meal and invite them to eat vegetables. He should not occupy the guest's seat, don't step on other people's stools, and only pick his own food when picking vegetables. He should not be arrogant. People at the same table are not allowed to leave the table when they are full. They should put chopsticks on their rice bowls to show their intention of waiting (if everyone at the table puts chopsticks on their rice bowls, they will express their dissatisfaction or indicate that they are not full) or say, please enjoy your meal. Sorry, I didn't wait for you. The host replied: You're welcome before you leave.

See the guests off. When a guest asks to leave, the host should keep him first. If the guest really wants to leave, the host should take something, open the door and see him out of the gate. When the guest says please stay, the host will shake hands with the guest. If there are many people traveling together, the elders of the guests or elders will go first.

Hakka people also have a lot of etiquette, such as greeting their parents or elders when children get up in the morning and go to bed at night, and greeting their elders when the younger generation comes out. This is inviolable etiquette. Relatives and friends can take the initiative to help each other in weddings and funerals and give gifts, that is, what fresh food they have to share with their neighbors at ordinary times and so on.
