It is best to have local people as tour guides, so as to avoid misunderstandings and prejudices. This girl explained very professionally. In Europe, as well as Canada and the United States, if you dare to drink beer on the street, you will face imprisonment. There are still people eating barbecue and drinking beer in the early morning in China, but no one cares. As long as you don't break the law, you are very free in China.

This understanding is very superficial, if according to the classical Chinese tradition, table manners can write a set of history books, so just look at it, there is no need to learn. In fact, I and some Chinese people think that the separate dining system and the communal chopsticks are very good, we actually used the separate dining system in ancient times, but somehow it disappeared and became a lot of people sticking chopsticks into a plate.

The dinner table etiquette given by the Shanghai girl is quite accurate and this is followed by most of people in the south of China but in the north with influences from the Mongols (Yuan dynasty) many Chinese didn’t really follow some of the Han culture (Han 汉). Some traditional cultures are kept intact and better outside of mainland China such as Taiwan, Singapore and Malyasia.

In fact, traditionally, the bowl is more commonly or often held up when eating. It is more often to placed the bowl on the table in modern days. It is just a change of habits, both ways are perfectly fine.

In chinese dining courtesy, its actully impolite to eat only one hand above the table. Both hands needs to be on yhe table. If you are not holding the bowl, you can use your other hand to hold a spoon, secure your plate by touching one side, or just rest your arm on the table. Cannot put underneath the table. My mom will hit my hand if I do so.

Chinese/Asian people know how to EAT (so the foods are so good and sophisticated, with lot of variety even within a country and high level of cooking techniques needed - Chinese people would not be satisfied by just eating KFC or long for it that much likes what Jay did in his train trip to Shanghai, haha); while European people know how to LIVE (so their cities are beautiful and normally more livable, with a very good vibe - even if some of them are not even rich at all; just a good example when I typed this at 4:29 - the tree lining was planted by the French people in their concession area back in the 19th century, no way this would be done by the dysfunctional Qing government at that time:) - God is quite fair in this respect.... :)
@corvo65682 күн бұрын
Chinese people also know how to live, but before 2014, China was very poor and had no money to live a comfortable life. After 10 years of rapid development, Chinese cities are now very livable. In terms of city appearance, cities such as Shanghai, Chongqing and Xi'an are very good and have local characteristics. In addition, Chinese cities also have abundant and efficient medical resources, as well as security that Western countries do not have. By security, I mean that you don't have to worry about someone breaking the car window to steal your bag, or being robbed or stolen when you go out at night.

@@corvo6568 Thanks for your inputs. However, I was not talking about China today but just the traditional cultural traits (like what I said, the Qing government back in the 19th century simply did not care about city amenity at all while the French people knew planting trees in their concession area even though they should know they would be there only for a limited period of time). Livability is not just about beauty of buildings/appearance, certainly the cityscape in China have been much improved esp. in the new development areas in the last few decades; however, livability should not be just the privilege of the rich living in luxurious apartments in a segregated beautiful precinct but should be in private and public realms too; a city with good livability should be the one which also offers the good residential amenity standard for the poor as well (or at least, not too bad). Also, streets should be pedestrian friendly with good street design - however, these are not always the case in many Chinese cities. We can still see unruly drivers and poor street design which makes traffic chaotic from time to time, where car users always have more priority than pedestrians/cyclists, etc in terms of using roads. These matters should be also seen as a criteria of "livability" as well. Sorry, I was meant to talk about the urban living environment and city lives, but not going to touch on other aspects such as medical cares (are you sure it is really that perfect - "abundant and efficient medical resources" - really for everyone? Again, including the poor?) and social order, etc.
@corvo65682 күн бұрын
@@RichardLee-bm2xh I agree with what you said, but you are judging from the same period of time instead of when the economic level is equal. According to your logic, then 700 years before the Qing Dynasty, that is, during the Tang Dynasty, do you really think that the major cities of the Frankish Empire were more livable than the major cities of the Tang Dynasty? You can compare the urban construction and road traffic conditions of the two during this period. That's why I suggest comparing the two when the economic level is similar, rather than from the time period. As for the other questions you mentioned, I can only say that first, you must not have lived in China recently in the past three years, at least you are not familiar with China's medical insurance system and the modification and improvement of public transportation roads in various cities in China. Second, you ignore the impact of population density on road traffic. I don't know if you are aware that the core urban area of Shanghai, about 660 square kilometers, has about 15 million permanent residents, while the Paris metropolitan area, about 1,700 square kilometers, has only about 12.4 million permanent residents. The impact of population density on roads is obvious. You can compare the livability of Shanghai with other cities with the same population density, such as Mumbai in India. I am curious about your answer. Finally, whether you have medical insurance or not, no matter what disease you have, you can go to any tertiary hospital emergency room in Shanghai at 3 am and get treatment within 15-30 minutes, and the same is true for other major cities in China. Alas, I guess you don't know the prices of common medicines such as cold medicine, antibiotics, insulin, antihypertensive drugs, etc. in China.
