高中英语阅读写作素材之中国传统文化 中国民俗 饮食（素材+语法填空+书面表达） 第一部分 话题素材积累 In the Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-256 BC),there was a fairly fully-fledged system of dining etiquette. Within Chinese traditions,eating has far more functions than just filling the stomach or bringing gastronomic pleasure. It has strengthened kinship and friendship. 在周朝（公元前1046年－公元前256年），已经有相当完善的饮食礼仪体系。在中国的传统里，饮食不仅是填饱肚子，或者享受美食，它增进了亲情和友谊。 For the seating arrangement, the seat facing the door is called the seat of honor and is the most venerable of all and the left or east seat is of secondary importance.

It's bad manners to use your chopsticks to burrow through the food and “dig for treasure” and keep your eyes glued to the plates. 夹菜的时候，你应该先从你面前的盘子里夹食物，不要从桌子中间的盘子或别人面前的盘子里夹菜。用筷子在食物中“翻拨找好吃的”和眼睛紧盯着盘子都是不礼貌的。 In China, food reflects people’s appreciation of nature, seasons and relationship.
