Qiyuan School has the educational characteristics of "combining Chinese and Western elements, good at art, promoting personality and all-round development", with "the goal of cultivating every Qiyuan child to become a future elite and leader rooted in China and integrating the personality and comprehensive and harmonious development with the ability to bear the national rejuvenation". At the same time, the school has been advocating the cultivation of students through multiple courses.

Whether it is Chinese food or western food, dining etiquette can show a person's character and accomplishment. Western food has more rules and etiquette requirements, so it can well cultivate the students' sense of order and patience, as well as the good eating habits of eating slowly.

In order to fully implement the "10 + 3 + 1" basic literacy standards and the cultivation of children's core literacy 1331, the school has recently carried out the theme of "learning Western food etiquette, do elegant youth" course activities. The purpose of this activity is to let students understand the basic etiquette of western food in a rich and diversified cultural environment, and also feel the elegance and happiness of western food, and become a child with excellent character in the world.

What is the arrangement of western food tableware? How do you use it? What are the etiquette for eating? In view of these knowledge, Teacher Zhu Yina explained to the students carefully, from the dining appearance to the introduction of tableware, to the tableware placement, the use of knives and forks and the matters needing attention to the students, actively participated in the interaction, and gained a lot.

"People always need some rituals, and rituals give people a sense of solemnity and destiny, and give people confidence.”——August Chang'an "Secret love orange born in Huainan"

          "Know the ceremony, and then you can keep the ceremony, salute."

        Western food is such a sense of ritual food, together with western food, life is more like life. I hope that every child in Qiyuan will become "a little gentleman on the dinner table" and "a practitioner of life aesthetics" in his daily life.
