What are the differences between Chinese and western etiquette?

China people are used to enjoying family happiness from generation to generation. Even if the children are separated from their parents after marriage, they are closely related to each other. In the west, it is usually a small family. When children grow up, they must leave home to support themselves. Usually separated from parents after marriage.

2. Respect for parents.

China people think it is necessary to take care of and serve their parents in life. Although westerners love, respect and care about their parents, they don't ask about their diet and daily life like we do. They believe that it is enough for parents to have their parents' lives and their own lives and respect each other. Too much concern and questioning is suspected of interfering with privacy.

There is a difference in addressing parents.

In Germany, Switzerland and other western countries, children can call their parents by their first names. People in China think it is impolite to call their parents by their first names. We always have the taboo that "sons don't say their fathers' names".

4. There are differences between China and the West in how to give up one's seat.

The concrete manifestation of China's respect for the elderly is to be polite in front of elders and the elderly. Reflected in the bus, it is to give seats to the elderly. Nowadays, it has become people's consciousness to give their seats to the elderly on buses all over the country, which promotes social harmony and is a concrete manifestation of people's spiritual civilization.

5. Interaction

Westerners don't pay much attention to reciprocity, although they often give gifts to relatives and friends on holidays, birthdays and visits. They generally don't value the value of gifts, and think that giving gifts to friends is not to meet some needs of friends, but to express their feelings.
