What's the name of the square towel on the plate in the hotel?

Napkins.

Western-style square towels pay attention to many manners. 1. After you are seated, don't open the napkin cloth in a hurry.

2. Pick up the napkin from the dining table, fold it in half first, and then spread the crease on your leg.

Napkins are special cleaning towels for banquets. It is said that in Britain in 15 and 16 centuries, because there was no razor, men all wore beards. In the absence of knives and forks at that time, it was easy to get greasy beard when grabbing meat, so I picked up my skirt and wiped it on my mouth. So the housewife hangs a cloth towel around the man's neck, which is a statement of the origin of napkin.
