Table manners in official receptions - the correct way to use napkins

Regarding the use of napkins, there are currently three common ways around the world:

The first is to tuck the napkin inside the collar and let it hang naturally. This method is suitable for the elderly, children, and people with limited mobility. The napkin can serve as a shield, but this method is not suitable for government banquets.

The second way, which is the most common among us Chinese, is to press the corner of the napkin under the plate and let it hang naturally on the chest. This is natural and convenient.

The third method is introduced from abroad and is often used in many high-end banquets and foreign-related banquets. The method is to fold the napkin and lay it flat on the lap.
