English

In Chinese culture, toasting is an important social etiquette that shows respect and friendship. In formal occasions, polite phrases are usually used when toasting, such as “Please allow me to toast you a glass”. In informal occasions, it can be more casual. When toasting, attention should be paid to the order. Usually, the elders toast first, then the leaders, and guests can toast each other.

When toasting, one usually holds the glass with the right hand and supports the bottom of the glass with the other hand. Avoid toasting with the left hand.

Don't toast with an empty glass, nor finish the drink in one go.
