Communal Eating?

In China, communal eating (合餐共食) is considered very important for forming a close relationship. In the memories of most Chinese, one of the happiest moments in their lives was seated around a table with families or friends,dishes and chatting over wine. 

In the campaign against the COVID-19 outbreak, this dining tradition has been greatly . Since each diner picks food out of the communal plates on a bite-by-bite basis with their chopsticks, the virus can be transferred from saliva (唾液) to chopsticks to the dish. What's worse, diners often others with their own utensils, such as chopsticks or spoons, to express friendliness and care. Several cases of coronavirus are thought to have through families when sharing food during the Chinese New Year period.

Communal eating has thus become a target of both governments and restaurants. Posters have been by local governments to encourage people to use serving utensils. Concerned about customers being very careful about returning to restaurants, the catering industry (餐饮业) has  joined the campaign. For example, many restaurants, once allowed to reopen, have immediately sprung into action, particularly offering set meals for one single person.

These changes are likely to continue and could be encouraged by local regulations, as eating together  can always protect the public health. The measures will  the traditional mealtime manners.

The move away from a traditional cultural is ongoing. But as an expert said, "In modern times to eat individually may lose some tradition, but it can also mean more opportunities forsomething new in Chinese food and eating habits."
