Chinese etiquette and customs

Etiquette and customs in China include: etiquette in traveling, sitting and lying etiquette, etc.

1, a 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 express their respect for this respected person by taking small steps and walking quickly. This is called "ceremony". In the traditional walking etiquette, there is also the principle that "if you don't walk in the middle of the road, you can't stand in the middle of the road", that is, you should walk beside it.

2, the ceremony of sitting. 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 follow the arrangement of the host family.

Traditional culture is closely related and integrated with our lives, and we enjoy it unconsciously. Specifically, China's traditional culture takes festivals, ancient prose, ancient poetry, writing, music, fu, national music, national drama, folk art and China's painting and calligraphy as carriers.

For example, the Spring Festival on the first day of the first month, the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of August and other festivals, as well as various folk activities, China's ancient natural sciences, including the traditional calendar, and the traditional cultures living in various regions of China are all part of China's traditional culture.
