China is a nation of etiquette(禮儀), Chinese people are the most hospitable people in the world.If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you.Then he will serve you snacks(小吃)like biscuits or candy.Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare for a meal for you.Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal.They always present more food than the guest can eat.On the table, the guests must be the first to eat.Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which wont happen at Western tables.The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home.As you finish eating, the host usually says: " It seems that you didn't eat much.Please have more."Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.
