There are many occasions and rules for catering in rural areas. In the past, there were even more rules. There are strict rules about what to serve on the first course, how many courses to serve and who to face from head to tail. Now these have been gradually reduced, but the seating of this banquet is still very strict, which is also a very serious matter. Some young people nowadays don't know, so it is inevitable to make jokes.
Such examples abound. For example, when we go to dinner, some young people sit at the edge of the set table, no matter where the table is placed, no matter who should sit and where it faces. It's wrong to do this, whether it's rules or manners. There are rules at the dinner table and at anyone's table. However, due to different local customs, the rules of banquet are also different, but one thing is clear. There is a "seat" on the banquet in every place, and that is the seating.
In the countryside, my uncle sat in many places, which inevitably puzzled many people. In fact, this uncle was treated with such high courtesy. In fact, there are deep family reasons. That's how my mother's uncle came over. The prestige of this uncle is not given by anyone, but by family rules handed down from generation to generation. For example, mom likes to bully people. If she is bullied at her mother-in-law's house, or something happens at her mother-in-law's house, she has nowhere to go. She can only go back to her parents' house and ask for help. The same is true of being wronged. Only parents can help her vent.
It is often said in the countryside that my mother's uncle is big and respects him. In fact, she respects her mother, and a person who respects her mother will not have conflicts with her uncle. Therefore, this custom is a kind of natural respect, a kind of blood family relationship.
