It's easy to fit into Chinese society. The first step is to learn some simple Chinese phrases and sentences. Most Chinese are welcoming and friendly. Speaking Chinese can help you appeal to Chinese people. Even if you can’t speak well, it's OK, your accent may sound interesting and make them want to talk with you even more.
Chinese food is one of the most popular cuisines in the world and is one of the three greatest cuisines on earth. The other two are French cuisine and Turkish cuisine. Among various Chinese cuisines, there is light food like Cantonese cuisine, and spicy food like Sichuan cuisine. You can always find something that’s to your taste.
Most foreigners don’t like to see a whole chicken or duck served on table. But for Chinese people, they not only like the chest meat, but also many other parts such as chicken feet and duck neck. And chicken feet and chicken viscera have become well-known Chinese exports.
Before eating Chinese food, you need to learn how to use chopsticks.
Chopsticks are a traditional eating utensil in China. Just with these two sticks, you can pick up hot food without smudging your hands.
For foreign friends who are used to using knives and forks, it’s hard to use chopsticks. Therefore, you should know the proper way and practice a lot.
Here is how to use chopsticks correctly:
1.Use your thumb, index finger and middle finger to control chopsticks.
2.Keep the bottom stick still, and just move the top one, and then pick up food.
3.keep the two tips together and point them at the food, and you can easily pick it up.
4.Try to pick up food with the tips of the sticks and, sometimes you can put your left hand beneath the food to prevent it from dropping.
China boasts age-long wine culture, which is even older than Chinese characters.
Therefore, Chinese people like to make friends on wine tables. They like to drink with friends after work.
Urging someone to drink at a banquet is part of Chinese social culture.
For those who are not familiar with Chinese table culture, they may think Chinese people are rude, and noisy when they have dinner with them for the first time. Well, this is just a cultural difference.
In China, we like to talk with each other, urge someone to drink, or pick up food for someone at table. These practices are not seen as rude. Instead, the more excited you behave at table, the more Chinese people will like you.
Anyway, if you can drink and yell, it will be much easier for you to make friends or do business with Chinese people.
How to drink with Chinese:
1. Drink a toast to them. As a Chinese saying goes, "if you care enough about me, then just drain this cup with one gulp." At table, an active person will take up his wine glass, stand up, propose a toast, and then drink off the wine, and immediately turn the glass upside down, without a single drop of wine leaking out. If you propose a toast, your friends will admire you, your boss will praise you and girls at the table may like you!
2. Keep up with everyone's pace. Are you used to slowly tasting half a glass of wine alone at a corner of a restaurant? In China, you may need to give this up now and then. There will always be someone who urges you to drink at a banquet. It may be beer, spirit or some mixed wine.
3. Don't worry about getting drunk. Chinese people care about friends who drink with them. They want you to have fun. Even if you get drunk, or vomit, they will do everything they can to take you back to your place. So, don't worry about anything and just drink!
WeChat is the social networking app used by most Chinese people. On it, we send messages, video chat and post photos and texts on "Moments" to share our life with our friends. It is just like apps such as Instagram,WhatsApp,and Snapchat.
It’s not hard to fit into Chinese society. If you want to fit in, Chinese people would like to help you with that. Wherever you are, just be friendly with people, and you will have friends.
