Table Manners
The main difference between Chinese and W estern 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 food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine. Among friends, they will just order enough for the people there. If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite, then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests (e.g.four people, five dishes). If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impopssible to finish.
A typical meal starts with garlic. These are followed by the main courses, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Finally a soup is brought out, which is followed by the starchy "staple"food, which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings. Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last, but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes, you should say so early on.
One thing to be aware of is that when eating with a Chinese host, you may find that the person is using 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, and maybe cover it up with a little rice when they are not looking. There is a certain amount of leniency involved when dealing with Westerners. So you won't be chastised.
Eating No-no's
Traditionally speaking, there are many taboos at Chinese tables, but these days not many people pay attention to them. However, there are a few things to keep in mind, especially if you are a guest at a private home.
1) Don'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!
2) 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.
3) Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, in a restaurant, if the food is coming too slow people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it is like insulting the cook.
Eat Local
You can get expensive, delicious meals in any of the large hotels, but if you are looking for atmosphere, you have to go to a local joint. Not only is it cheaper, but you can get a good look at the locals and what normal people are like. And what the food lacks in presentation is made up for in the taste. Some restaurants have English menus, but don't count on it. A good way to choose dishes is to look at what othes are eating and point at it for the waitress. The other option is to play "Myatery Dinner," where players randomly point at items in the menu and wait for the surprise dishes to come. Whoever orders the braised dog heart with scallions in shark vomit sauce wins! If you bring your Guide with you, however, you can use the food guide in the back of the book to choose some safe and delicious fare.
Also, be sure to sample the local brew, Yanjing Beer.

Gan Bei!(cheers!)
Alcohol is a big part of eating in Beijing. Especially when dining with Chinese hosts, you can expect the beer to flow freely and many beis to be gan-ed.(Gan Bei literally means "dry the glass")Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is bai jiu, high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of bai jiu, and some are quite good. The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive and less formidable are Maotai and Wuliangye, which go for about 300-400 yuan per bottle. In comparison, Er Guo Tou costs a modest 4or 5 yuan per ping(bottle). If you are not a drinker, or don't feel up to the challenge, just say "wo bu hui he jiu"(I don't drink). It is generally acceptable to use Coke or tea as an alcohol substitute.
In modern society, there is no obvious difference in everyday's life .They are only used to doing something as their customns in daily life in different countries.I want to talk it in the following three parts.They are food, dressing and living styles.
在现代的社会，人们每天的生活没有明显的不同，他们只是习惯按他们的习俗做事情，我想谈论以下三点，食物，穿着和生活方式方面。
First , food.In China, we prefer noodles, rice , dumplings as the main course. But in England or other west countries, people like eating hamburgers, chips, pizza, as their main course.In China, we become full up when we finish all the food, then we don’t eat anything, but in west countries, people eat desserts after they finish their meals
首先，食物，在中国，我们喜欢把面条，大米和饺子当做主食，但是在英国和其他西方国家，人们喜欢吃汉堡包，薯条和披萨，把它们当做主食。在中国，我们吃完饭后，不吃任何其他东西，而西方国家，人们饭后还会吃甜点。
Second, dressing.In China, we prefer colorful clothes, we dress them in different places, some time many people don’t mind the places we will go, and dress more formal or less formal, and some people just wearing beautiful clothes, don’t make up; But in west countries, people dress according their visiting places, in daily times, they often wear casual clothes, but if they go to a formal places ,they often wear suits, ladies wearing beautiful dresses, pretty hats. No matter how old the ladies are, they always make up.
第二，穿着，在中国，我们喜欢彩色的衣服，我们在不同的地方穿。有时，人们不介意去哪里或穿多么正式的衣服，人们只是喜欢穿漂亮的衣服并且也不打扮，但是在西方，人们根据他们去的地方来打扮，在日常生活中，人们常穿普通衣服，但是如果他们去正式的地方，他们穿西服，女人们穿漂亮的衣服，戴可爱的帽子，不论多么老的女人，他们总会打扮。
Third, living styles.Chinese prefer getting up early and go to bed early too.We usually go home early and cook meals, then we eat and watch TV, then we go to bed. But in most west countries, people live in a easy and happy lives. They get up late and go to work late too.
第三，生活方式，中国人喜欢早起早睡，我们常常早早回家做饭，然后吃饭，睡觉，但是在大多数西方国家，人们生活在一中容易，开心的生活中，他们起床迟，上班也迟。
That's all that l know about it. Difference is also a specific character .
那就是我所知道的，不同也是一种个性。
