The concept of 'Yàn' (banquet) dates back thousands of years to royal court rituals. In Chinese culture, sharing a lavish meal is the primary way to build 'Guanxi' (connections) and show hospitality. It became a staple of diplomatic and business etiquette during the reform era.
The 'Who Pays' Rule
If you use the word `宴请`, you are 100% expected to pay the entire bill. Don't suggest splitting it!
Avoid 'Double Verbs'
Don't say `请宴请`. Just say `宴请`. The 'invite' part is already built into the word.
