Chinanews, Beijing, Jan.26 (By Lai Hailong) - Recently, one of Beijing's
media outlets has been teaching the public how to correctly use
chopsticks.
In order to facilitate public learning, the media outlet even compiled
the "New Three Character Primer of Etiquettes" about the correct way of
using chopsticks. Citizens may read and recite these primers when
learning table etiquette. This New Three Character Primer includes
instructions such as "Chopsticks in hand, don't point at others. Do not
knock, neither at the table nor at your bowl."
It was learned that this chopstick etiquette program is just a small part
of a much bigger campaign. The Beijing Civilized Olympics Campaign,
sponsored by the municipal government, has officially started in January
this year. Beijing citizens will have a whole year to receive 6 cognitive
training programs on basic etiquette in socialization, venue behavior,
interacting with foreigners and other functions.
The ultimate goal of this campaign is to show the world the unique charm
of traditional Chinese civility during the 2008 Olympic Games.
