The difference between kneeling on one knee and kneeling on one knee

The two kneeling postures are different in using occasions and expressing emotions.

Kneeling on both knees refers to the kneeling posture with both legs bent at the same time and knees touching the ground. It is usually used to express religious feelings, such as piety, awe and prayer, for example, in churches, temples and other religious places. Kneeling on one's knees is a more solemn and pious gesture, which is used to show respect for the gods or religious ceremonies.

Kneeling on one knee refers to a kneeling posture with one leg bent, one knee on the ground and the other leg straight. It is usually used to express feelings such as respect, gratitude and apology, such as marriage proposal, gratitude and funeral. Kneeling on one knee is a more solemn and respectful gesture to show respect or apology to others.
