The correct posture of kowtowing on New Year's Day What is the correct posture of kowtowing on New Year's Day?

1. Simple kowtow is the kowtow of children to elders; one bye and one kowtow is the kowtow of adults to elders; one bye and three kowtow is the grand ritual to see elders for the first time, to see ancestors or to see the high status of elders on occasions such as worshiping masters, New Year's greetings, longevity greetings and thanksgiving greetings.

2. When children kowtow, they should first say "kowtow to so-and-so's elders". Then they bend their knees and kneel down, hold the ground with their hands and touch the ground with their heads, and stand up and stand sideways after completing the kowtowing action.

3. When adults kowtow to their elders, they should take the initiative to go forward and say, "I (my own name or seniority) kowtow to so-and-so elder." And add a sentence of blessing, and then front to the elders arching long bow, and then bend the knees down to kowtow.
