What is the most civilized way of greeting in China?

Sometimes I will see familiar colleagues and friends, but I am very busy and have no time to meet. I often raise my hand to greet them. Raising your hand can be accompanied by related words and gestures. The correct way to raise your hand is:

1. Stand up straight, smile, look at each other and nod slightly.

2. The arm extends gently from bottom to top, and the arm can be completely straight or slightly bent.

3. When greeting, open your palms and face the other side.

4. Don't swing your arms back and forth.

(2) nod.

Nodding slightly to show politeness to people is a kind of nodding ceremony suitable for more casual occasions. If you walk on the road or meet an acquaintance in public, you can "nod" and nod in a friendly way. When you forget the name of the other person or just feel that the other person is familiar, you can nod, but smile when you nod. This is polite to people.

(3) Bend down to pay tribute

Learning is a polite way to show self-modesty to others. It is slightly different from bowing. Bow your head, but lean forward slightly, and your eyes are still looking straight at each other; Bow and stand up. You can stand or sit.

(4) Take off your hat and greet

In social situations, men can take off their hats to show their respect for each other. When you meet a familiar person, if you can't shake hands because the two sides are far apart, you can gently take off your hat and nod slightly to each other.

On solemn occasions, such as attending important gatherings, playing the national anthem and raising the national flag, everyone except soldiers should take off their hats. On sad occasions, such as attending a memorial service and saying goodbye to the body of the deceased, everyone present should also take off his hat.

When entering the room, the man should take off his hat; If a woman's top hat is part of her clothes, it is not necessary to take it off, otherwise it must be taken off.

When watching movies and plays, both men and women should consciously take off their hats in order not to block the view of the audience behind them.
