Why do you want to hold your right hand with your left hand during the Spring Festival? Is there any difference between men and women?

Holding the right hand with the left hand during the Spring Festival is to show politeness and respect. When greeting the New Year, men should hold their left hand on it, make a fist with their right hand, and hold their right hands side by side with their left hands, while women only need to wrap their right hands around their left hands to make a gesture. This type of hand belongs to the bow ceremony in the traditional meeting etiquette of the Han nationality, and is generally used to greet, bless or express goodwill. Hand in hand, also known as Jugongli, originated in the Zhou Dynasty three thousand years ago. This is a kind of etiquette with China characteristics. Generally speaking, the ancients regarded the left hand as a respect, so putting the left hand on the table meant friendship, while putting the right hand on the table often meant bad things, such as being used for funerals or being provocative. So, if you hold a fist at someone, be sure to pay attention to which hand is on it, because of this.

There is a saying in the ancients, right? The gentleman's house is expensive on the left, and the fight is expensive on the right? Because they think that the left hand shows the text and the right hand shows the martial arts. If the left hand is on the table, it means that you want to communicate with each other well. If the right hand is on the table, it means that you want to solve the problem by force. In addition to New Year greetings and greetings, fuel will also appear in various martial arts competitions. Imagine a martial arts scene, where two chivalrous men stand opposite each other, bow to each other, smile at each other and appreciate the Jianghu customs.

At this time, we should pay attention to the hand shape of these two chivalrous men fuels. If the left hand is on it, it means that the main points of this competition are over, but if the right hand is on it, it means that this competition is a sign of life and death. In addition, fuel is also used in Taoism, which is generally used by Taoists and believers to show politeness, and the left hand naturally embraces the right hand. The official view of this hand shape in Taoism is to punish evil and promote good, while negative yin holds yang.
