How to sit is a very important content in China's traditional etiquette.

The standard sitting posture requires dignity and beauty, and the standard sitting posture can give people an elegant, steady and natural aesthetic feeling. Here are four standard sitting postures:

(1) Legs together, upper body straight, sitting upright, feet slightly forward, hands on knees (male legs slightly apart).

(2) the sitting posture of the lady. Sit up straight, keep your upper body straight, put your legs together, cross your feet, and put your hands on your left or right leg.

(3) the famous S-lady sitting posture. Sit up straight, with your upper body straight, legs together, legs sideways to the left or right at the same time, feet side by side or overlapping. Put your hands on your left or right leg.

(4) Sitting posture with legs crossed. The method is that the left leg turns slightly to the right, the right thigh is placed on the left thigh, and the toes are facing the ground (avoiding the right foot pointing to the sky). This sitting posture gives people a noble and elegant aesthetic feeling. But pay special attention to distinguish it from crossing your legs. Crossing one's legs generally means that the toes are suspended to face people, accompanied by indecent movements of shaking up and down. In some countries, it is a taboo to face people with the soles of your feet, because it shows provocation, dissatisfaction, contempt and anger, and it is a vulgar and obscene behavior.
