Visiting relatives and friends is not only to follow traditional customs, but also to mend family relationships alienated by busy work. The following is the new year's door-to-door etiquette I carefully collected and arranged for you. I hope you like it! More information is in the etiquette column! Preparation before the visit 1. Wear new clothes, bring new year's goods and auspicious words. Clothes must be clean and tidy, no matter whether they are expensive or not, you must carry gifts in your hands. Of course, it is essential to say "Happy New Year" at the door. Second, the visit should be confirmed in advance. Make sure the host is at home before visiting. It is important to call before departure or the night before so as not to miss the plane. Therefore, we should pay attention to the Chinese New Year holiday and confirm it in advance on the premise of making an appointment in advance. Third, pay attention when visiting. Courtesy visit, the shorter the holiday, the better, and the stay time at the guest's house is generally ten minutes; Generally speaking, it is advisable to visit relatives and friends for about half an hour. This is not a very special case, and it is not appropriate to stay for more than an hour. Generally speaking, unless you are a close friend, don't stay for dinner, because the other person will have a heavy burden. Fourth, pay attention to the hygiene of shoes and socks. 5. The scope of activities should be limited. When visiting other people's homes, you must pay attention to the fact that you can move within the designated scope of the other party, and the designated scope is the living room. If you walk around at will, it may cause embarrassment to the host family, so it is very important to visit other people's homes, and even family and friends should pay attention. The etiquette requirement for being a guest is 1. Those who arrive at the guest on time should arrive at the guest's office on time, and don't be late, lest the host wait and not arrive early, lest the host be caught off guard. This is a basic etiquette problem. Knock on the door, ring the bell, and you will arrive at the host's door. Wipe the dirt off your shoes first, then ring the bell or knock on the door. Grasp the strength and rhythm when knocking at the door. Don't knock hard or kick the door. Don't go directly into the house when you arrive at the host's house. Besides greeting the host, we should also greet the host's family and guests. Don't sit down before the host arranges or assigns a seat, and pay attention to the sitting posture. 4. You should stand up and thank the host for receiving tea and cigarettes at Rock Tea. Your hand should pick up the fruit served by the host, wait for the elders to make it first, and then take it yourself. Don't throw stones around. Cigarette butts should be bounced in the ashtray. Pay attention to the conversation, don't walk around the room, don't look around, don't rummage around. 6. The opportunity to say goodbye In the process of talking with the host, if the host is absent-minded, sighing, frowning or looking at his watch from time to time, what should visitors look for? Brake? Leave the topic. Farewell should not be put forward immediately after the other party has finished a paragraph, but should be put forward in a silent space between two people. If the host has a new guest to visit, he should leave as soon as possible after greeting the new guest so as not to interfere with others. 7. The way to leave should be steady before leaving, and don't appear impatient. When saying goodbye, shake hands or nod to the host, his family and the guests present. If there are many visiting guests who have something to leave early, they should bid farewell to the host in a low voice and apologize so as not to disturb other guests; If it has been found by other guests, apologize and say goodbye politely. During the Spring Festival, relatives and friends visit each other, celebrate the New Year and get together, which is a good opportunity to educate children about etiquette. Education experts say that understanding and mastering basic etiquette can not only avoid embarrassing situations, but also help children increase their social experience and exercise their social skills. Young parents should consider their children's personality characteristics, objective conditions and special environment, adopt appropriate educational methods, and teach their children to learn polite language, table manners and share experiences. Experts especially remind parents that in crowded places, if children show impolite behavior, they should be smart parents and protect their children's behavior? Face? And don't criticize and scold loudly in front of everyone. You can calmly take your child outside or to the bathroom and tell him what to do in a low voice. Children who behave well should also be praised promptly and clearly. First, the etiquette at the dinner table Nowadays, in many families, adults are generally used to children: children will intentionally let them eat more whatever they like. But if there are guests present, we should educate our children to be polite. Tell your child before eating: Everyone likes good things. There are good things on the table. You shouldn't eat them all by yourself, but you should leave some for others to eat. Nobody likes children who are too selfish. ? And say to the child:? When you eat, you should hold the food in front of you, choose which one you want, and don't choose it again and again. That's very rude. Put down the bowl after dinner and say politely: Please enjoy yourself. . ? Second, help children communicate with other children or take them to visit during the Spring Festival. If the other person has children, no matter whether the other person's children are older or younger than their own, adults will always ask the children to associate with him, but this is very difficult for the children. Usually children will look at each other and have nothing to say. Parents should do this: if there is a big age gap between children, parents should find a topic for their children before leaving. For children of similar age but different personalities, parents should help them find friends? Media? Such as: beautiful toy cars, talking dolls, etc. Wait until they can communicate. Before going out, parents had better bring a toy to their children to help them communicate with them. Third, teach children to address their common relatives, and children will address them, such as grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt. Other guests and children are not common, which depends on parents teaching their children how to address guests in advance. If you wait until you meet the guests to teach your child to address, your child may feel uncomfortable and refuse to speak. If you talk to your children before meeting the guests? Rehearsal? Try to scream, and the child will scream naturally. If you take your child out during the Spring Festival, parents should explain to him in advance. You can call someone later, but you can't help calling. However, if the child really refuses to call someone, don't insist, let alone scold the child, otherwise it will only cause embarrassment. Taboos for visiting during the Spring Festival 1. Don't touch his things at a friend's house. If you live in a friend's house, you should bring your daily necessities. 2. Don't destroy the custom of friends' house at will. 3. Pay attention to etiquette at the table, for example, don't make indecent sounds. 4. Don't answer your friend's phone at will. Husband and wife go to a friend's house together, and it is not appropriate to show excessive intimacy in front of friends. 6. Help friends do housework properly, especially after staying at friends' homes. Clean up your used bedding and other items, don't just walk away. Drinking ceremonial banquets and toasting at the banquet in the New Year can not only show respect for the guests, but also increase the warm atmosphere of the dinner. It is not only the traditional custom of our people to express welcome or thanks to guests with wine, but also a way for people of all nationalities in the world to enhance friendship, so we should pay attention to drinking etiquette at the wine table. (1) How to pour wine You need to pour wine before toasting. According to the rules, except the host and waiter, other guests are generally not allowed to pour wine for others themselves. If the host pours his own wine, he should use the best wine at this banquet, and the guests should raise their glasses to express their thanks and stand up if necessary. If it is a large business meal, the waiter will pour the wine. Generally, you should pour the wine from the person with the highest position and then pour it clockwise. If you don't need wine, you can put your hand on the glass and say? No, thank you? Do it. At this time, there is no need for the pourer to ask for wine again and again. In Chinese food, if someone pours wine, you can return it? Finger tapping ceremony? . Especially when you are above your master. That is, the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are close together, and the fingertips are down, tapping the table a few times to express gratitude for pouring the wine. How much should I pour? Liquor and beer can be drunk, and other foreign wines don't have to be drunk. (2) Toast should be made at a specific time, on the premise of not affecting the guests' dining. Toast is divided into formal toast and ordinary toast. Formal toasts are usually made after the guests and hosts are seated and before meals. Generally, the host will make a toast, and a standardized toast is also required. Ordinary toasting can be started as long as it is after the formal toast, but it should be noted that it is at the convenience of the other party. For example, he didn't propose a toast to others at that time and didn't chew food in his mouth, thinking that the other party might be willing to accept your toast. If you propose a toast to the same person, you should wait for someone higher in status to propose a toast before you propose a toast. (3) What is the order in which you propose a toast? In general, the order should be based on age, position and the identity of guests and hosts. Before toasting, we must fully consider the order of toasting, prioritize and avoid embarrassing situations. Even if you can't tell the position and identity, you should toast in a unified order, such as toasting clockwise from your side first, or toasting from left to right and from right to left. (4) Toast behavior requires toasting to be divided into formal toasting and ordinary toasting. Formal toast means that at the beginning of the banquet, the host toasts everyone collectively and makes a formal toast at the same time. This toast can be a little longer, but it will be finished in five minutes. No matter the host or the guest, if they propose a toast to the group from their seats, they are required to stand up, smile, raise their glasses and face everyone. When the host toasts everyone, everyone should stop eating and drinking. When the host proposes a toast, everyone should stand up and raise their glasses and touch each other. According to international practice, toasting doesn't have to be done, but even people who don't usually drink should sip their glasses to show their respect for their hosts. In addition to the host toasting the group, guests can also toast the group. The guest's toast can be shorter, even a sentence or two. For example:? Ladies and gentlemen, cheers for our common cause! ? Usually, the content of etiquette norms is more about ordinary toasting. Ordinary toast means that after the host makes a formal toast, each guest and the host or guest can toast each other and say one or two simple toasts at the same time. When someone makes a toast to you, raise your glass to eye level, toast or not? Cheers? After that, drink again. After drinking, you have to look at each other with a glass, and the process is over. Pay special attention when toasting. No matter who respects or accepts, we should pay attention to local conditions and do as the Romans do. In Chinese food, after the host toasts you personally, you should pay back the host and toast with him again. In return, you should hold the cup in your right hand and the bottom of the cup in your left hand, and drink with each other at the same time. When toasting, you can touch the glass symbolically. Don't use too much force. Be sure to hear the noise. Out of respect, you can make your glass a little lower than the other's. If they are far away from each other, you can touch the table with the bottom of the cup, which means touching the cup. Different from Chinese food, champagne is generally used to toast in western food, and only toasts are not advised, only toasts are not really clinking glasses, and people around and far away are not allowed to cross-toast, especially cross-toast. First, the etiquette of giving gifts during the Spring Festival is to give gifts with human touch. Sending cigarettes and wine is out of date, and it is also a decoration. The person who receives the gift has no feeling and does not pay attention. So it is the best gift for any crowd. For example, winter is a high incidence of various chronic diseases, so if you give gifts to your parents and elders, you might as well send some health-care gifts, such as eating in the New Year and eating everywhere. At this time, the stomach will definitely increase the burden, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable. If you eat too much, your stomach will swell and your digestion will be uncomfortable. At this time, you can send some Gu Weining, 5 trillion bacteria and German sauerkraut enzyme to get into your filial piety. For example, during the Chinese New Year, both mother and wife have to do housework, clean the room and go to the kitchen. At this time, you should send some natural concentrated household items to keep your mother or wife away from the harm of chemicals. If you give it to your partner, you can also give some nourishing gifts, such as a set of pure skin care products made in Switzerland. Second: when giving gifts, you should know each other's hobbies, different ages, different genders, different cultural backgrounds, etc. And the choice of gifts is different. For example, young couples nowadays value how much romance there is in the gift, and it doesn't matter much whether it is practical or not. And a pair of middle-aged men and women, perhaps the wife wants a gift from her husband, will be practical. For parents, we should also send some suitable ones, such as imported honey and cereal. Third: Be polite, and be sure to know each other's taboos. For example, if the other person has a bad heart or the friend you want to send is pregnant, you should consider whether the gift you send is taboo for her (him). Or the elderly are particularly particular about it. For example, if you don't drink or smoke in many aspects, it will be boring to send cigarettes and wine, and the other party will not care about your gift. It's best to send something suitable for your body, such as soy milk powder.
