What does it mean to bow with your right hand on the floor?

The ancients in China respected the left hand, so when they bowed, they exposed their left hand to show their sincerity and respect. If you bow at a funeral, the opposite is true. ?

Bowing is a traditional etiquette of China people, which originated before the Zhou Dynasty. Since the Zhou Dynasty, rites have become popular in the world. According to the status and relationship between the two sides, there are three kinds of bows: ground bow, hour bow, sky bow, special bow, line bow and side bow. Nowadays, in addition to drama, martial arts and Spring Festival greetings, bowing has been replaced by traditional etiquette such as shaking hands.
