What are the etiquette cultures in China?

China's traditional etiquette culture includes: hanging He Qingzhi, eating and drinking, sitting, meeting and saluting.

1, thanks to he qing for his condolence:

China has been a human society since ancient times. People care about and sympathize with each other. There are many manners and customs in he qing. Generally speaking, the greeting ceremony is held during the festival, which is a courtesy of the younger generation or people with lower status to the elders, and there are also greetings between peers.

2, the gift of diet:

Food etiquette plays a very important role in China culture. In the pre-Qin period, people kissed guests from all corners of the country with the gift of Yan, and later generations had dinner and drinking, which was often a lively etiquette drama. The banquet for welcoming guests is called "Ying" and "Ying", and the banquet for seeing them off is called "Farewell". Whether welcoming guests or sending banquets, you can't do without wine. "No wine, no ceremony".

3, sitting ceremony:

In traditional society, etiquette is orderly, and seats also have primary and secondary points. Noble people sit on the table, and humble people sit last. There are certain rules for who sits in it and where. If you take the wrong seat blindly, not only will the host be unhappy, but you will regret your rudeness afterwards. If you are not sure what kind of seat to take, the best way is to listen to the host's arrangement.

4. Meeting ceremony:

People should be warm and polite when meeting each other every day. There are certain rules on how to meet people with different identities. For example, general greetings and traditional bow ceremonies. Bowing ceremony is the most common meeting etiquette. The way is to put your hands together (usually your right hand is clenched and your left hand is placed above your right hand) and raise it to your chest, standing without leaning down, indicating general courtesy.

5, walking gift:

In the process of walking, we also pay attention to the handling of interpersonal relationships, so there is walking etiquette. In ancient times, people with low status often walked in front of people with high status, so they had to bow their heads and pay tribute to respected people in small steps. It's called courtship.
