| h English (en) | ===Drinking=== The manner of drinking [[Soju|alcoholic drinks]] while dining is significant in [[Drinking culture of Korea|Korean dining etiquette]]. Each diner is expected to face away from the [[Korean Confucianism|eldest male]] and cover his mouth when drinking alcohol. According to Hyang Eum Ju Rye ({{Korean|hangul=향음주례|hanja=鄕飮酒禮|labels=no}}), the drinking etiquette established in [[Choseon dynasty]], it is impolite for a king and his vassal, a father and his son, or a teacher and his student to drink face to face. Also, a guest should not refuse the first drink offered by host, and in the most formal situations, the diner should politely twice refuse a drink offered by the eldest male or a host. When the host offers for the third time, then finally the guest can receive it. If the guest refuses three times, drink is not to be offered any more. |
