(1) the ceremonial banquet of the seat, except for buffet, tea party and cocktail party, the host must arrange the guests' seats, and can not cause the dissatisfaction of the host guest and other guests in a casual manner.

Especially when there are diplomatic missions, the ambassadors and representatives are orderly and never give in.

The order of tables and the dignity of each table are described as follows, for readers' reference.

The order of the table (two) is the order of the general family, the dining hall is set up with a round table, and the table is divided from no table. But if the banquet is in the dining hall or the auditorium, the round table is two tables or more than two tables, the size must be fixed.

The principle of positioning is to recite the dining hall or auditorium as the right place, with the right side as the largest, and the left side as the small. If the site has three tables, the center is large, the right side is next, and the left side is small.

The arrangement of seats (three) must be arranged after the guests are invited.

At present, the Chinese round table banquet has two arrangements of Chinese and Western style.

The two methods are different, but the basic principles are the same.

Generally speaking, we must pay attention to the following principles: 1, with respect to the right, the principle of respecting the right, the arrangement of the seats, the right respect and the left.

Therefore, if the male and female masters are in the same seat, the male left female right and the right side is the largest.

If a table is set up for two tables, the male and female hosts will be separated from each other.

The arrangement of guests' seats is also the same, that is, the right side of the male and female owners is large, and the left side is small.

2, the position or status is high, and the high seat is high.

3, position or status is the same.

4, observe diplomatic practice. According to the practice of other countries, when the head of a government, such as president or prime minister, is a foreign guest, the Minister of foreign affairs ranks before other ministers.

5, the order of the husband is the same as that of his husband.

That is to say, among the many guests, male guests are the first, and their wives rank the second.

However, if the female guest is invited, because she is a minister and the official position is not obvious, for example, the chairman of a large company must be placed behind all ministers.

6, with government officials, leaders of social groups and social leaders attending the banquet guests, the government officials, leaders of social organizations and social leaders are prefaced.

7, people in Europe and the United States regard banquet as the best social occasion. Therefore, the principle of taking seats is divided into men and women.

The couple, father daughter, mother child, brother and sister must be separated.

If there are foreign guests present, the Chinese and foreign guests will be seated.

8, abide by social ethics, order of seniority, teachers and students are different, in informal banquet occasions, should be branded.

If a king is a minister and a professor is his teacher, he can not be placed under the minister on an informal occasion.

9, the last seat of the seat can not be arranged for female guests.

10, in the male and female hosts, the banquet and opposite seats, regardless of round table or long table, eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty-four people (Yu Leitui), the arrangement of seats must have two men, two women and seats.

This probability is unavoidable.

Therefore, the ideal arrangement of seats should be six, ten, fourteen and eighteen people (Yu Leitui).

11, such as the banquet of the host and hostess, he invited his immediate superior, and the manager invited his chairman.

The above is the principle of arranging seats.

Because of the arrangement of seats, the guests once sit on the table and take a look at the left and right guests.
