What should I pay attention to during my holiday visit?

Festivals are a good opportunity for China people to visit relatives and friends, and everyone is happy to give something back. Some people even take this opportunity to contact feelings, make new friends or seek new business opportunities.

During the festival, Professor Wang especially has a headache for visitors. There are always people who come to the door with gifts when they are ready to go out. Don't entertain him. He visits from far away and only comes once a year. Hospitality will delay what you have planned. There are still some people who don't talk about leaving after sitting down. The new guest has been there two or three times. This letter talks endlessly about Kan Kan. Before leaving, the garbage made was scattered all over the floor.

Everyone has a network, and everyone has someone to visit. So, don't think that others can receive you at any time. The link of "prior agreement" is essential; Because each host receives far more visitors during the festival than usual, if you can't be "gentle, respectful and frugal" during the visit, it will definitely make the host very tired and upset. If you stay, you may incur "hatred." Prior agreement can save trouble, and rules of words and deeds can win people's hearts.

Let's talk about making an appointment in advance. During festivals, people usually have detailed visit and reception plans. Before preparing for the visit, you must first get the host's consent and set a time for the host to prepare for the reception. Don't suddenly come to the door and be an uninvited guest. For people who are not familiar with each other and have a lot of business, it is even more important to ask the other party in advance, and make an appointment to tell the other party the number of people who will visit without disturbing the other party's schedule. If the other party is unable to arrange or unwilling to accept, don't force it. If you're going to visit a foreigner, you'd better not visit his private house.

Similarly, when you have made an appointment to visit each other, if your schedule is adjusted, you must inform the other party in advance and apologize in time. How many days' notice depends on your situation. Don't be late if you are sure it won't change. Visiting on time is a sign of respecting each other and maintaining their reputation, which is worth promoting. Of course, don't go too early.

After arriving at the appointed place, if it is the other party's private house, even if the door is open, ring the doorbell or knock on the door, and the owner will answer before entering the door. If it is an office, please ask the receptionist to inform the host or call the other party. Never find your way through the door by yourself.

Let's talk about words and deeds. Going out is better than staying at home, and the casual habit of going to other people's homes should be abandoned. Don't be rude, make people laugh, be generous.

When visiting privately, the host opens the door, the host greets the guests, and greets each other's family politely after entering the door. If the other person has the habit of changing shoes at home, follow the other person to put the shoes in the designated position, and put away the hats, gloves, scarves and other things according to the owner's arrangement. After proper greetings, gifts can be given at this time. Please accept it and put it away. Don't leave it at will. Then sit down under the guidance of the other party. If other guests are present, take the initiative to say hello to them. When talking, the guest mainly pays attention to the topic, don't tell boring jokes, if the other party is a customer, don't pry into the other party's business secrets, and speak in a moderate voice. Don't go to each other's room casually, rummage through each other's sundries and ask each other's privacy. Pay attention to your image when talking to the opposite sex in the other person's home, and don't give people a frivolous feeling.

Ang Lee and two other colleagues visited his colleague Sharla Cheung at the appointed time during the Spring Festival. Everyone brought a box of cakes into the door. Three people greeted Sharla Cheung's family, and the host and guests exchanged greetings for a while. Sharla Cheung said, "Shall we play cards for a while?" Ang Lee, who loves playing cards, readily agreed. Two other colleagues also readily agreed. Four people had a good time. Ang Lee shouted and jumped when he was happy, but he shook his hand from time to time and kept urging the other three people to play. Because he was too noisy, Sharla Cheung's father, who was watching TV in the next room, was disturbed. Sharla Cheung's father came to have a look, said nothing, and went back to the next room. Sharla Cheung said, "Keep your voice down!" Ang Lee agreed. But after a while, he started shouting again. The two colleagues who came with him felt a little embarrassed for him, but Ang Lee didn't notice the unhappiness of others. After playing for a while, Sharla Cheung cheated quietly. Ang Lee quit and cried even louder. Sharla Cheung's father heard this and came again. Say, "Hey, have fun!" Ang Lee then said, "old man, look at you Sharla Cheung this boy playing cards! Cut! " Although it was a joke, Sharla Cheung was not happy. In an instant, more than half an hour passed. At the suggestion of two colleagues, Ang Lee didn't want to play any more. After the Spring Festival, the relationship between Sharla Cheung and two other colleagues and Ang Lee was obviously not as close as before.

During the festival, many people will have some entertainment activities at home, such as playing cards, playing chess and singing. It's okay to be invited, but keep a steady attitude and don't make a hullabaloo about, so that happiness will turn into annoying noise.

Grasp the attractive opportunity, enough is enough, and leave a good impression.

Enough is enough here mainly means not to stay in the other person's home or office for too long. Leave in time.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of people to visit during the Spring Festival. If you stay too long, you will lose interest and affect your image. Second, it will hinder the other party from making their own plans in time. Don't be selfish, stay up for a while and talk more. The other person is embarrassed to say that his opinion of you will change in the future-of course it is not a good change.

Traditionally, in the natural state, people's enthusiasm can last for half an hour to an hour at most. Courtesy visits should usually be limited to less than half an hour. For the first time, 15 minutes is enough. If the relationship between the two parties is very good and the other party keeps you for dinner, you'd better stay for no more than two hours.

During the Spring Festival, Xiaojun visited Professor Chen, a university teacher. After entering the door, Professor Chen grabbed a lot of sweets for him, including the big pulp jelly that Xiaojun especially liked. While the teachers and students were talking, Professor Chen kept greeting Xiaojun for dinner. Xiaojun politely took a large piece of jelly to eat. Then Professor Chen peeled an orange for Xiaojun himself. Xiaojun thanked him again and again, took it respectfully and immediately peeled an orange for Professor Chen. Professor Chen is very happy. After more than 20 minutes, Xiaojun politely bid farewell to Professor Chen. Before leaving, he put the garbage on the table into a bag almost full of garbage and prepared to take it out by the way. Professor Chen quickly stopped and said, "No, no! I'll do it myself! " Xiaojun insisted: "I just go down, you don't have to go there specially." Professor Chen smiled approvingly. Xiaojun always had a good impression on Professor Chen, so Xiaojun later asked Professor Chen to write a preface when writing a book. Professor Chen readily agreed and recommended him to one of his scholar friends.

During holiday travel, the host usually prepares sweets and snacks for the guests. At this time, don't look at your favorite food and eat it hard. Say nothing, like a hungry ghost. Remember to pay attention to eating when eating. Don't eat too much! Also, take the initiative to clean up garbage such as peels and melon seeds. At this time, the host will definitely stop you, but after you insist on cleaning up the garbage you made, the host will definitely praise you.

If a new guest visits during your visit, it is appropriate to say hello to the new guest and take the initiative to leave. If the host shows signs of burnout in his speech, it means that his enthusiasm has been exhausted and it is time to leave. Cherish your heart, don't we take the trouble to receive guests?

You don't need to be attentive when visiting relatives, friends or customers, but you should be kind and polite in your words, elegant and generous in your manners, know how to visit warmly and say goodbye in time. The host will sincerely welcome you to come again next time.
