The correct posture of kowtowing for birthday.

The steps of kowtowing:

1, make a longbow first.

2. Kneel down again. After the first head, continue to kneel and straighten up.

3. Then knock down the second head, keep kneeling and straighten up.

4. Knock down the third head and finally stand up.

Note: Don't "pound garlic" and touch it on the ground three times when your head is not straight. This is impolite (children can).

Extended data:

Old manners, kneeling on the ground, head on the ground, hands on the ground. Every year from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month, young people and adults go to the homes of neighbors and relatives in droves to kowtow. During this time, the scroll of the genealogy plaque was hung in the main room of the house, and a mat was placed in front of the door for people to kowtow. When the guests come, first stand in front of the genealogy, worship three times, and then kneel down and kowtow three times.

Then kowtow to the older people three times. If the children are related to the kowtowed people, they should be given lucky money. There are two waves of kowtow. The first wave mainly goes to the neighbor's house on the first day of the first month of the first month. The second wave happened a few days after the first day of junior high school, when I visited other relatives.
