This is called "揖讓", and it is performed by clasping the fists with both hands, arching them up and pressing them down, while bowing the head and bending the upper body slightly forward. Greetings are common in daily life, and in addition to the social occasions mentioned above, it is also common to offer thanks, congratulations, apologies, and to ask for favors.

The society also has a kneeling ceremony to the supreme person, that is, both knees on the ground, head and hands rhythmically touch the ground to bow, that is, the so-called kowtow. Nowadays, the kneeling ceremony can only be seen in remote villages to pay homage to the New Year's activities, generally no longer practiced.
