Chinese table manners

It is a communal eating style in China. So except your own bowl of rice , and your soup bowl, all dishes are shared.
Use Chopsticks. And it is OK to use your spoon to get food.
Never poke or "examine" the dish with your chopsticks.
Decide what to pick up before reaching.
Never put chopsticks straight up in a bowl, because it looks like incense sticks placing in urns at the temple to worship the ancestor.
A formal Chinese dinning is always accompanied by tea, beer or distilled spirit (maybe Er guo tou. The one who sit closest to the teapot or wine bottle should pour them for others from the senior and superior to the junior and inferior. And when other people fill your cup or glass, you should express your thanks. Guests can not pour tea or wine themselves.
Chinese host loves to put food on your plate, as a way to show hospitality. It would be better to accept it and It is OK if you can not finish.
Put bones and seeds , if any, in a different plate (restaurant usually offers a extra plate).
