How to respect in Wushu?

In Wushu, salute is a kind of "fist-throwing ceremony"

The boxing ceremony in foreign martial arts is refined, standardized and unified from the "bow ceremony" and boxing ceremony (four-fingered ceremony) of Shaolin boxing, and has been given new meanings. It is a representative ceremony adopted at home and abroad. The key point is to make a fist in one hand and a fist in the other, and fold it on your chest, with your right hand inside and your left hand outside.

In ancient times, martial arts practitioners had two kinds of boxing rituals. One is right palm and left fist, and the other is left palm and right fist. Chapter 3 1 of Tao Te Ching says: the residence of a gentleman is expensive on the left, and the use of soldiers is expensive on the right. On the left is the most important thing of auspicious events, and on the right is the most important thing of tragic events. Therefore, the words right palm and left fist contain the meaning of life and death, but left palm and right fist are only used for discussion.

Extended data:

The specific meaning of the fist-clenching ceremony is that the left palm represents the perfection of "four educations" of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and symbolizes noble sentiment. Pointing is not arrogant, not proud, and not posing as the "boss". Right fist means brave.

The left palm covers the right fist, embracing each other, indicating "courage is not chaotic" and "force can not help" to restrain and control bravery. The left palm and right fist are closed, and the arms are bent, indicating that all corners of the country (generally referring to five continents and four oceans), the Wulin in the world is a modest, United and martial arts friend. My left palm is for writing, my right fist is for martial arts, and I am both civil and military. Be open-minded and eager to learn, waiting for the guidance of teachers and friends.
