Etiquette for visiting Korean friends
South Korea is known as the "state of etiquette", and Koreans attach great importance to the cultivation of etiquette and morality. Respecting the elderly is a traditional etiquette observed by Koreans.
Koreans are hospitable. Whenever a guest comes to visit, he will always hold a welcoming ceremony with appropriate specifications according to his status to receive foreign heads of state. According to international practice, a grand welcoming ceremony should be held, and thousands of people stand on both sides of the street to welcome or see them off. The scene is grand.

Cooked dog heart, kidney, liver, etc. It can be sliced or mixed with the above seasonings, which is also a traditional dining table for entertaining guests.
Korean food "ceremony"
The internal structure of Korean restaurants can be divided into two types: using chairs and taking off shoes to get on the kang.
When eating on the kang, men sit cross-legged and women stand on their right knees-this sitting posture is only used when wearing Hanbok. Nowadays, Korean women don't wear hanbok at ordinary times, just put their legs together and sit down. After sitting on the dishes, in a short time, the aunt in the restaurant will take out the tableware first, and then the dishes.
Koreans usually use flat-headed chopsticks made of stainless steel. Both China and Japan have the habit of eating with rice bowls, but Koreans think this behavior is not standardized. And don't touch your job with your mouth. A bowl with a round bottom and a cover is sitting on the table, and there is no handle for you to hold. Coupled with the heat from the rice to the bowl, it is reasonable not to touch it. As for the bowl cover, you can take it off and put it on the table at will.
Since you are acting recklessly, your left hand must be obedient, hide under the table honestly, and don't "shine" on the table. The right hand must first pick up the spoon, take a sip of soup from pickles, then take a bite of rice with the spoon, then take another bite of soup and rice, and then you can eat whatever you want. This is the order in which Koreans eat. Spoons are more important than chopsticks in Korean diet. They are responsible for filling soup, fishing for soup dishes and filling rice. When not in use, put it on a rice bowl or other utensils. And chopsticks? It is only responsible for picking vegetables. Under no circumstances can you take bean sprouts out of your soup bowl with a spoon, and you can't use chopsticks. First of all, there is the problem of food ceremony, and secondly, soup may flow down the chopsticks to the table. When chopsticks don't hold vegetables, the traditional Korean practice is to put them on the table in the right hand direction, with two chopsticks close together, two-thirds on the table and one-third outside the table, which is convenient to take and use.
Koreans are an emotional people. We should fully understand how we express our feelings through dinner, and at the same time rationally admit that it is an unsanitary "food gift".
Korean drinking etiquette
If a Korean has a distinguished guest at home, the host will feel very honored and usually treat him with good wine and food. Guests should drink as much as possible and eat more vegetables. The more you eat, the more proud your master will be.
Koreans are very polite when drinking. At the banquet, wine is poured according to status, status and seniority, and the person with the highest status raises his glass first, followed by others in turn. If the grade and seniority are too different, you can't drink at the same table. Under special circumstances, the younger generation and subordinates can drink with their backs to each other.
The traditional concept is that "the right is superior to the left", so it is considered impolite to hold a cup or wine with your left hand.
With permission, subordinates and juniors can propose a toast to their superiors and elders. The toaster holds the bottle in his right hand, holds the bottom of the bottle in his left hand, bows, and pours wine for his superiors and seniors for three cups in a row, but the toaster doesn't drink it himself. It should be noted that when people of different status are drinking and clinking glasses together, people with low status should hold the cup lower, touch the other side's cup body with the rim of the cup, and can't touch it horizontally or hold the cup higher than the other side, otherwise it is impolite.
