What are the differences between China's traditional customs and those of foreign countries?

People in China pay more attention to traditional things, and we have been under Confucianism, so our thoughts are continuous. We in China like to seek our roots and ancestors, and pay more attention to ethical relations. China is a country of etiquette, and has attached great importance to the relationship between seniority since ancient times. However, due to some historical reasons, foreign countries are quite different from China in these aspects.

China people are reserved, and most of the time they don't want to show themselves too much. When others praise themselves, they always say "where, where" to show modesty. Most foreigners are more direct, and they usually thank others for their compliments.

Also, in some public places, we usually use the etiquette of shaking hands, while in many foreign countries, we use hugs, which is also one of the big differences.

China people sometimes speak vaguely. The common saying is: "I don't know, it's hard to say, let's have a look first." We are not used to expressing our opinions directly, and often give the opportunity to others first, so the possibility of making mistakes is relatively small. Some foreigners, on the other hand, like to show themselves very much, and they think they should show themselves if they have the ability. This is also the difference between China and foreign countries.

Similarly, we have different attitudes towards foreigners. We often pay all the money by ourselves, but in many countries, they pay by themselves, even between husband and wife.

We in China like tea, while foreigners like coffee. People in China eat with chopsticks, while foreigners use knives and forks. People in China often like to pour wine for others, while foreigners can pour as much as they like.

There are so many differences between China and foreign countries. These are just the tip of the iceberg. If we look closely, we will find more differences.
