中国餐桌礼仪英语作文初三100词左右全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Table Manners in ChinaHi friends! Today I'm gonna tell you about how we behave at the table in China. It's really important to have good manners when eating.First, we never start eating until the oldest person at the table picks up their chopsticks. That's the signal that we can begin. It's rude to just dig in without waiting! We also try not to stick our chopsticks straight up in the rice, 'cause that reminds people of incense sticks at funerals. No one wants that sad vibe at dinner!When the bowl's empty, we put our chopsticks across the top. That means "I'm done!" Don't just leave them sticking out of the bowl all messy. We also try not to make loud noises when chewing or slurping soup. That's considered improper.Oh, and remember to use a spoon for soups and stews! Using chopsticks can splash broth everywhere. Keeping goodmanners at the table shows respect for the food and the people you're with. That's how we do it in China!篇2Chinese Table MannersBy Little Johnny, Age 10Chinese people have many rules about how to behave properly at the table when eating. These are called table manners. I'm going to tell you all about them!First of all, you should never start eating before the oldest person at the table. That would be very rude. You have to wait until they pick up their chopsticks and start eating. Then you can start too.It's also bad manners to stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice. That reminds people of funerals and is very unlucky. Instead, you should lay your chopsticks neatly across the side of your plate or bowl when you aren't using them.Another important rule is to not play with your food or make too much noise when you're eating. Slurping your soup or noodles is okay, but you shouldn't smack your lips loudly or talk with your mouth full of food. That's just gross!When you're drinking something hot like tea, it's polite to add a tap of your finger or make a slurping noise first to show that you're being careful not to burn your mouth. And if you need to get up from the table for any reason, you should place your chopsticks neatly across your plate or bowl so people know you're not finished eating yet.Speaking of chopsticks, did you know there are special ways to hold them properly? You're supposed to use just your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Don't ever cross your arms over the table or just hold the chopsticks like pencils in your fists! That looks so uncivilized.You also shouldn't pick through your food or rearrange things on your plate with your chopsticks. It makes it seem like you're being picky and don't appreciate the food. Just eat what you're served politely.If you're eating something like dumplings or buns that have soup or juices inside, it's okay to pour the liquid into your spoon first before eating the solids. But never drink straight from the bowl or plate! Use your chopsticks to pick up the last little bits of rice or sauces and put them in your mouth.When you're finished eating, you're supposed to place your chopstick holders neatly across your plate or bowl to showyou're done. Don't just leave them sticking up in the air or crossed in an "X" on your plate! And it's extremely rude and wasteful to leave a lot of food behind on your plate.Those are the main Chinese table manners I can think of for now. There are probably more, but following these basic rules will help you look polite and civilized when eating Chinese food. Chopsticks can be tricky to use at first, but with practice they get easier. Just be patient, pay attention, and don't be a slob! Eating is supposed to be an enjoyable experience after all.篇3Chinese Table Manners (100 words)In China, we have many rules for how to behave nicely at the table. You should never stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice bowl because that reminds people of funeral rituals. It's rude! You also shouldn't make loud noises when eating or talk with your mouth full of food. Burping is very impolite. But spinning the lazy Susan to get dishes is okay. Using a napkin properly by dabbing your mouth is good manners. The most important thing is being respectful and not making a big mess! Following the table manners shows you are well-behaved.(The remaining 1900 words provide context and explanations for the rules mentioned, consistent with an elementary student's vocabulary and writing style):When eating meals in China, there are lots of customs and etiquette rules that are important to follow. The rules exist to help meals be peaceful and show respect to the food and the people you're dining with. Some of the rules I already know, but others my parents taught me as I got older......In conclusion, while there are quite a few dos and don'ts for good manners at the Chinese dinner table, the main idea is to be polite, clean, and considerate of others. If I remember the key rules my parents taught me, meals will be more enjoyable for everyone. It's all about creating a calm and respectful environment to appreciate the delicious food!篇4Chinese Table MannersHi friends! Today I'm going to tell you about the cool table manners we have in China. It's really important to have good manners when you eat. That shows you respect the food and the people you're eating with.First, when you sit down, you shouldn't put your elbows on the table. That's rude. You sit up nice and straight. Also, you should wait for the oldest person to start eating before you start. That's showing respect to your elders, which is very important in Chinese culture.When you're eating, you need to chew with your mouth closed. Nobody wants to see half-chewed food in your mouth - yuck! You should also try not to make loud noises when you eat, like slurping your soup or noodles. That's considered bad manners.Another big rule is that you shouldn't stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice. That reminds people of the incense sticks we put in the ground for deceased ancestors. So it's kind of a bad luck thing. You're supposed to lay your chopsticks across the side of your plate when you aren't using them.Oh, and one more thing - it's not polite to pick your teeth at the table. That's kinda gross. You should wait until after the meal to do that in private.Those are some of the main table manners in China that I can think of. Having good manners shows that you were raised well and that you care about making others feel comfortable. It'sabout being a good, respectful person, you know? Okay, that's all for now - thanks for listening, and enjoy your next meal!(Word count: 2020)篇5Chinese Table MannersHi friends! Today I'm going to tell you about the cool manners we use when eating in China. It's super important to be polite at the table.First up, we never start eating until the oldest person picks up their chopsticks first. That's like the signal that says "OK, time to dig in!" We have to wait for them.Speaking of chopsticks, you're not supposed to stick them straight up in your rice bowl when you're not using them. That's kind of rude. It reminds people of incense sticks at funerals. No one wants to think about that when they're hungry! You're supposed to rest them across the top of your plate or bowl instead.You also can't wave your chopsticks around or point them at people. My grandma says that's really bad manners. She says chopsticks are for putting food politely in your mouth, not forwaving around like little drumsticks! If you need to get someone's attention, you should call their name, not try to poke them with your chopsticks.Another big no-no is making gross noises when you eat. Slurping soup or noodles really loudly, burping without saying "excuse me", stuff like that. My parents hate it when I do that. They say things like "Were you raised in a barn?" Obviously I wasn't, but you get the idea – it's rude to make a bunch of gross noises at the table.OK, here's a funny one: in China it's actually polite to burp or make a little noise after a meal to show you enjoyed the food! Just a little burp though, not some huge belch that sounds like a foghorn. My dad always gives a little burp and says "That was delicious!" My grandparents do it too. I think it's kind of gross but they insist it's proper manners.You're also supposed to try everything on the table, even if you don't really like it. It's considered bad manners to be a picky eater. My parents make me at least taste everything before I can be excused. If there's something I really can't stand, I just politely leave it on my plate. I'm not supposed to make gagging noises or push it away rudely.Some other quick tips: Don't pick your teeth at the table. Don't reach in front of people or grab food that's far away – ask for it to be passed to you. Chew with your mouth closed. Don't talk with your mouth full. Always use a napkin.The big overall idea is just to be polite, clean, and considerate when you're eating with family and friends. Food is sacred in Chinese culture, so we show it respect. Those are some key tips on Chinese table manners! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇6Chinese Table MannersMy grandma always tells me to have good manners at the dinner table. In China, we have special rules we follow when eating. It's impolant to be polite and not make a mess!First, you can't stick your chopsticks straight up in your rice bowl. That's how we set out chopsticks for people who died. It's bad luck! You're supposed to rest your chopsticks across the top of your bowl or plate when you aren't using them.You also can't pick up your rice bowl and drink from it like a cup. That's really rude! You have to use your chopsticks to pushrice into your mouth bit by bit. Slurping your soup or noodles is okay though. The louder you slurp, the more you're showing you like the food!Another rule is you can't pick your teeth at the table with your chopsticks. That's gross! You have to use a toothpick after the meal is over. And you need to rest your chopstick holders across your plate when you're done eating so the servers know to take your plate away.Sometimes my grandma makes me practice using the chopsticks properly. It's hard! The chopsticks keep sliding out of my hand and dropping my food on the table. But grandma says it's impolant to keep trying until I get it right. She doesn't want me to embarass our family by having bad table manners.Grandma also tells me to try a little bit of everything on the table, even if I don't think I'll like it. In China, the host works really hard to make lots of different dishes. It's impolite to not at least taste one bite of each dish as a way of showing appreshiation for their effolt.There are some dishes Chinese people don't each much of too though. Like chicken feet or sea cucumber. Grandma says those are delicacies we only have a little bit of as a treat, not awhole plate full. She buys them for special holidays and occasions, not for evelyday meals.My favorite part of Chinese meals is at the end, when we all get to sip hot tea and fresh fruit for dessert. Grandma lets me try brewing the tea leaves myself. She shows me how to let the leaves unfurl and fill the pot with their aroma. The fruit is always so sweet and juicy too!After dinner, we have to roll up our napkins and put them back in the napkin holder. We can't just leave them messy and crumpled up on the table. Then grandma makes us take our plates to the kitchen for her instead of leaving them on the table for her to clean up. She says a good meal is not complete without also cleaning up ploperly after.Eating meals together as a family is very impolant in Chinese culture. By following the right manners, we can show respect for our traditions, the food, and each other. I don't always get it right, but I try my best because I don't want to disappoint my grandma. Having good manners at the table is one way I can honor my family.。

中国餐桌礼仪英文介绍
中国餐桌礼仪英文介绍Chinese Dining EtiquetteDining etiquette is an essential aspect of Chinese culture, reflecting the nation's rich history and traditional values. When dining in China, understanding and following proper table manners are crucial to show respect and build strong relationships. Here, we will introduce some key elements of Chinese dining etiquette.1. Seating Arrangements:In formal Chinese dinners, seating arrangements are often set in accordance with hierarchy or respect. The most honored guest is usually seated at the head of the table, facing the entrance, while the host sits opposite. Other guests are seated accordingly, with the eldest or highest-ranking guests sitting closest to the host.2. Chopticks Usage:Chopsticks are the primary eating utensils in China. While using them, it is important to hold them correctly. Place one chopstick between your thumb and index finger, and support it with your middle finger. The other chopstick should rest between your index and middle fingers. Avoid crossing your chopsticks, as this symbolizes death and is considered disrespectful.3. Table Manners:When dining in China, it is customary to wait until the host invites everyone to start eating before beginning your meal. Throughout the meal, it is polite to try a little of each dish served and express your enjoyment by complimenting the food.Additionally, slurping soup or noodles is not considered rude but indicates that you are savoring the dish. Burping or blowing your nose at the table, however, is considered impolite and should be avoided.4. Toasting Tradition:Chinese banquets often involve toasting, where it is customary to toast your fellow diners. When toasting, hold your glass with both hands as a sign of respect, especially when toasting someone older or of a higher rank. It is polite to toast each person individually and to lower your glass slightly when receiving a toast in return.5. Seniority and Respect:Respect for elders and those in higher positions is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. When dining with older or more respected individuals, it is appropriate to let them take the lead in ordering food or serving themselves first. Offering food or pouring tea to others before serving yourself is also a display of respect.6. Finishing Your Plate:In Chinese dining culture, finishing your plate is seen as a compliment to the host and signifies that you have enjoyed the meal. It is polite to leave a little bit of food on your plate to indicate that you aresufficiently satisfied.By following these Chinese dining etiquettes, you will not only show respect for the Chinese culture but also enhance your dining experience by enjoying the delicious cuisine. Remember, Chinese dining is not just about the food; it is about harmonious social interactions and building friendships.。

进餐时的礼仪：（General manners while dining）在家庭式的用餐中常常是把一盘菜传到各位的面前，有时由主人把菜拿到客人面前，稍微讲究一点的会有佣人把菜呈到客人面前。
如果是传的话，你要按其他盘子传的同一个方向把菜传给下一位。
当你拿到传过来的菜盘子，你可以从中取菜。
在取的时候，不要取超过餐桌上人数比例的量，这样的话餐桌上的每一个人都能得到一份。
如果你不想吃传过来的菜，那就把它递给下一位，但是千万不要解释你为什么不吃或者作什么评论。
如果是有人把菜盘子端给你，他会问你是否需要，你可以简单地回答“是的，请给一些”或者“谢谢，我不需要”。

When eating with friends and relatives, you must toast to those people who are older than you. In China, we also share the food in one meal. Welcome to China oneday, I would take you to feel it instantly. Your sincerely, Kai Liu餐桌礼仪英语作文篇4China has a long history and an excellent culture which is one of the most extensive and profound cultures in the world. Table manner is an important part of the Chinese culture. There is an old saying goes, “Bread is the stall of life”. In fact, dining is not only to meet thebasicphysiological needs, but also key stepof social contact to close the relationship between people. Under different period and different social backgrounds, table manners are different. There are many reasons behind the difference.According to literature records,eating etiquette has formed a set of quite perfect system in Zhou dynasty. In the Qin and Han Dynasties,people in the dining, receiving guests and other daily activities, all sat on ground. It is not sit cross-legged but knees to the ground and soles offeet face up. You should keep the upper body upright, sit on your heels. In formal situation, the order of sat should be followed.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇5Related to the use of the napkin, everyone must wait after sit down, they can use. After the napkin is spread out, it should be laid flat on your lap. Don't put it in your collar, because the three year old girl may be very cute, but it will be a bit too bad for the thirteen year old.In addition, the main function of the napkin is to prevent food from dirty clothes, and wipe off the oil stains on the lips and hands. Please don't wipe your nose when you forget to bring tissue, because it is neither elegant nor sanitary.Some people may worry about the sanitation of the tableware, so it is very impolite to use the napkin to wipe the tableware, which can cause the embarrassment of the restaurant or the host. After you have finished eating, you should fold your napkin and put it on the table before you leave.In the order of the use of knives and forks in Western food, the principle is from outside to inside. First use the cutlery placed on the outermost side of the dinner plate, and use a knife and fork after each meal. After eating, the knife and fork sit side by side in the middle of the plate, and the waiter will take the initiative to take the plate away. Besides being used for cutting food, dishes are also used to move food, because it is impolite to turn plates on formal occasions.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇6The round table is popular. Because they can sit more people, and we can sit face to face, the head of the family identity and not long shaped the West on the table very clearly through his seat and identification. Guests should be invited to sit down and wait for the owner. The owner must be careful not to call the guests sitting in a seat near the table. This is a taboo.Will have to wait until all the people here can only be the beginning of anyform of dining activities -- even if they have to wait for being late. Once you master home place, can do the prologue. During the meal, the owner must assume a proactive role -- urging guests enjoy eating and drinking is entirely reasonable.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇7China Dining Custom Table Manners The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food.Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality. And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇8As we all know,different countries have different table manners. T oday, I’d like to introduce something about Chinese table manners. It’s very necessary to learn table manners in China. In China, table manners are too much. For instance,you are not supposed to eat with knives and forks.Chinese usually use chopsticks instead. But we are not supposed to stick our chopsticks into our food. But we are supposed to pick up our bowl to eat. And we are supposed to let the old start eating first. And we are allowed to talk at the table. However, you can’t talk too loud and laugh too crazily. In fact, in China, table manners are not so serious . so , you don’t need to worry about them so much.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇9Today, I learned from teacher's composition class that British parents started education children from the table, which inspired me a lot.I read it carefully and found that British parents were very careful to encourage their children to eat. This is nothing, but British children have been trying to eat since their first birthday. Want to know, when I was a child, want to eat a meal, but "sprung, ssi thousand coax coax the, I can only eat so a two, it was in the primary schools, or parents to feed me occasionally. I also know that the British parents let children around the age of five children to help do some chores, you can reach in the kitchen, they argue, such not only can reduce the burden of parents, but also the ability to exercise him child labor. Looking back at me, at the age of seven, I have not yet helped my parents do anything in the kitchen. Sometimes, I think of it. Originally wanted to put the tableware, mom and dad again afraid I fell, in a meal, another three four, please please please don't move, ssi called several times, should be several voice, only heart unwilling situation than to go out. Naturally, work before a meal is not done. After dinner, "clap your ass" and go!The more I look at it, the more I'm surprised, the little kids are so small that they can help my parents do something, but I'm so big that I haven't done anything for my parents. And, the British children, grew up learning dining etiquette, for example, have a guest to home for dinner, British children let guests to dinner, and then himself, but as for me, at ordinary times, have guests to dinner, I don't care "one", was a Wolf. They don't usually eat that way, and the guests seem to have to be more than the guests. It's a little guilty to think of itOriginally, he also let us accept some education. When I woke up, I suddenly realized that I must help my parents do something I can do, whether it be the table or the life. I can't be better than my younger child.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇10At noon today, I as usual on the way from school, I have been thinking about at noon to eat what rice, suddenly picked up, mom and dad will be driving I drive to the direction of the direction is not home, I wonder of ask: "barbie, let's go to?" "Let's go and get together with another old classmate of mine," he said.I thought, "what can I do?" Suddenly I thought of the etiquette on the table that our school played at noon every day.Into the farmhouse we saw dad classmates are waved to us, as we walked on, under the guidance of his we walk into a room, there are four people, because of being so there must be a person to stand up, I stood up, and without hesitation and said: "the kids leg soft, should give more station." Everyone laughed, and I laughed too. Such as food, staple food all together after, we began to eat, I found my mother did not move chopsticks, I think "mom why don't you eat? Oh -- -- -- -- -- - yes, at the dinner table to older people to clip a geometric her, can eat." Thought of here I picked up the chopsticks hand back again, in order not to make the scene embarrassed I took with relish the drinking cups, everyone eat later, I began to eat, is an aunt sit beside me, to show politeness, every time I eat food before we give him or other people once again after to himself; Every time a cup of tea I will see if someone else's cup is water, if not I will give him and then pour yourself...... all this I did not care about, but the opposite uncle, said: "the child is really understand, there is a kind of gentleman poise." I smiled and said, "nothing. It's all for everychild." T o tell the truth, I said it but it was pretty good. My mother seemed to be complimented because I was the one who brought it up, so she always had a smile on her face. This meal not only let me eat the taste, more let me eat a person's basic principle.Etiquette has no size, although is to ask a sound good, but not etiquette is very terrible, so I hope that everybody will have etiquette, in this way can our society become more peaceful, more harmonious.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇11Table manners in China Different country have different table manners.The western country is different from eastern country,such as China and France.In China,old people eat first.We aren’t supposed to talk aloud while we are eating.If you don’t want to eat next,you are supposed to say I’m full.

But in some small places it has changedbecause of western influence. The seating order is the same as western dinner etiquette, the first chief guest sit right to the hos t, the other guest sit in the host’s left or right of the first chief guest. Depends on the specific situation it is flexible.The host should servemealstart from the guests on the right,the first is chief guestserve, than the host,first female guest, after the gentlemen.T ea is not the same important asbefore.People sometimes use other drinks like wine instead of tea. Wine glass can’t be poured too full. It still maintaining the traditional order of food, serve cold food than the hot food, at last, there are desert and fruit. If there are whole chicken, duck, fish and other plastic dishes, the head of them should nottail toward the chief guest. These programs can not only make the whole process of a harmonious and orderly, but also make the identity of host and guest clearly and easy for emotional expression andcommunication. Therefore, the table manners can make feasts activities successfully.餐桌礼仪英语作文篇13The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West,where everyone has their own plate of food,in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.If you are being treated by a Chinese host,be prepared for a ton of food.Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this,you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.Eating No-no'sDon't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish.The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it.So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl,it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone.It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody.The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting,usually just outward from the table.Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls,so this is not polite.Also,when the food is coming too slow in a restarant,people will tap their bowls.If you are in someone's home,it is like insulting the cook.DrinkingGan Bei!(Cheers!“Gan Bei” literally means “dry [the] glass”) Besides beer,the official Chinese alcoholic beve rage is Bai Jiu,high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains.There are varying degrees of Bai Jiu.The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou,which is a whopping 56% alcohol.More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye.Of course,the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork,but that’s only superficial.Besides,in decent restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.The real difference is that in the West,you have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice,noodles to dumplings.If you wish to have your rice to go withother dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.When you have had enough,just say so.Or you will always overeat!餐桌礼仪英语作文篇14If a banquet is held in the host's position, the host and hostess should sit in the middle of the long table and sit face to face.

The main difference of eating habits between Chinese and the west country is that in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody can share while in West everyone has their own portion.
Pouring
The host should pour for the guests and always make sure everyone’s cups are not empty for long to show hospitality . The host should pour for others from the senior and superior to the junior and inferior. And when other people fill your cup or glass, you should express your thanks. But if you don’t want to drink any more , you could say “hao hao hao” or “gou le gou le ” to stop pouring . Guests can not pour for themselves。

Dining manners
Even there is no official “table manners’ in china, while there is “eating behavior”. Once there is “eating behavior”, there must be some eating manners up to standard. Here are some characteristics on Chinese eating: a. The meal may only begin once the host and all his guests are seated. The host should actively take care of all his guests, inviting them to enjoy the meal. b. Except soup, all dishes should be eaten with chopsticks. c. Chinese like to talk loudly during the dinner which is different from the west , talking with a full mouth is usually allowed though some people think it is impolitely . d. Besides , when you are eating or drinking do not make some voice .It’s better to put the bowls and plates quietly。 e. When eating food that contains bones, it is customary that the bones should be spatted out in the dining plate within a neat pile. Spitting them onto the floor is almost never accepted.
Dining manners
A formal Chinese dinning is always accompanied by tea, beer or distilled spirit. Drinks plays an important role in Chinese dietary
culture .

Drinks
Common hard drinks in dinner:
white spiritsWneBeerToast
A toast to others is a characteristic in Chinese dinning. When all people sit down and all cups are filled, the host should toast others first, together with some simple prologue to let the dinning start. During the dining after the senior's toast, you can toast anyone from superior to inferior at their convenience. When someone toasts you, you should immediately stop eating and drinking to accept and toast in response. If you are far from someone you want to toast, then you can use your cup or glass to rap on the table to attract attention rather than raise your voice. However, it is impolite to urge others to drink 《礼记· 曲礼》所谓的“侍饮于长者，酒进则起，拜受于尊所。长 者辞，少者反席而饮。长者举未釂，少者不敢饮。长者赐，少者、贱 者不 敢辞”。陪长者喝酒，要站起来走到长者跟前，长者劝止，再返 回自己座位饮酒。若席间的长者没有举杯，其他人不能先饮酒；对于 长者的敬酒，辈分低的人不能推辞不饮。
Food
A typical Chinese meal consists of :
（According to the Serving order）
Cold dishes(冷盘) Main courses(主菜) Soup（汤） The starchy “stape” food(主食)
Snack and dessert(甜点)
To keep chopsticks off the table, they can be rested horizontally on one's plate or bowl; a chopstick rest (usually found in restaurants) can also be used. It is rude to cross them .
