What are the court manners in the East and the West?

West: shake hands-women reach out and men walk-men open doors on the right and women on the left-men open doors for women.

1, be quiet-also known as "kneeling on one knee".

Soldiers should kneel when they see superior officers, but because they have armor on them, they only bend their knees or half knees. For a long time, when they don't wear armor, they also kneel on one knee as a gift, just like kowtowing, to express their greetings.

(2) In the Eight Banners family and some Han official families, the younger generation sees the elders and the younger generation sees the sages. When a slave sees his master and his relatives and friends, this ceremony is over, so it is also called one-knee greeting. However, in yamen or public places, both flag-bearers and Han Chinese can pay tribute, but not salute.

(3) the man's greeting posture: first correct the posture, such as "stand at attention". Then the left leg takes a step forward, the left hand holds the knee, the right hand droops, the right leg kneels half, and pauses slightly; Look straight, don't bow your head, look up or tilt your head; Keep your shoulders balanced, don't bend over, don't keep the distance between your left and right legs too large, keep your left leg at a natural distance forward, and don't kick back.

The gesture of greeting women is the same as that of men, but the distance between the left and right legs is close and the movement range is small. Support your left knee with both hands, and your right hand will not droop.

Step 2 get down on your knees

(1) "kneel down" this etiquette line in the palace and five houses and the royal family. The emperor summoned military ministers every day and often summoned some other officials. This is a secret talk. Unlike the ceremony, officials don't have to kowtow to the emperor.

(2) Summoning procedure: First, the Foreign Affairs Office will register, and then the Internal Affairs Office will arrange the summoning date. When the emperor was having breakfast (before dawn), he put a green sign on the table and summoned it after dinner. Some of them joined forces (such as with the military minister), and the eunuchs all withdrew. The eunuch of non-staple food in the Ministry of Internal Affairs called the official to the front of NuanGe, lifted the curtain to let the official in, and the eunuch retreated outside the hall. The official entered the door and stood and said, "I (someone) respectfully ask the emperor for his sacred peace." Then kneel down, stand up, walk a few steps to the emperor, and kneel on the carpet with thick red edges and thick white hearts to play correctly. When the game was right, the emperor said, "Go down." So the official got up and knelt down, stepped back in the face of the emperor and turned to go out. If you have anything to thank during the performance, just knock on the spot and say, "Thank you for your grace." Say something wrong when playing correctly, take off your hat and touch your head to admit your mistake. Every morning, the emperor was in a coma. When he saw the empress dowager, he had to kneel down when he entered the door, and he had to kneel down when he abdicated.

The eunuch has something to say to the emperor, queen, empresses and concubines. The younger generation in the princes' mansion and the royal family should kneel when they see their elders, and slaves should kneel when they see their masters.

(4) Kneeling posture and asking posture, the same position is the correct posture, and the left leg is forward. But when you kneel down, your right leg must kneel down, and then your left leg must kneel down, and your right leg will get up immediately, and your left leg will get up, so as to restore the posture of standing at attention. The rhythm of this series of movements should be balanced, and it should not be rushed or dragged on. Other requirements are the same.

⑤ Under the concubines in Qing Dynasty, princesses, Gege, Fu Yanming and official maids (except Han Dynasty) wore royal clothes and auspicious clothes and gave gifts. There is a ceremony of cleaning, kneeling, knocking and six cleaning, kneeling and knocking. (Cleaning is standing. Kneeling is kneeling to stand up once. Of course, three kneels means three kneels each. The difference between three knocks and nine knocks is also the difference of time.

When you wear a royal dress and a royal crown, you should kowtow like a man. In the late Qing Dynasty, those who wore auspicious clothes did not wear auspicious clothes crowns, and those who wore hairpins did not crawl on their knees. They only helped two heads and wings with their right hands. What needs to be explained here is "Su". This action is similar to a woman greeting. First, correct your posture, slowly fall to the end, then get up slowly and restore your posture of standing at attention. It is also required not to bend over, not to bend over, with smooth shoulders and straight back.
