What do China's traditional boxing and palm-to-palm bow ceremony mean?

Fuels ~ traditional meeting etiquette

In fact, the so-called etiquette in ancient times was developed through some rituals that said they would not hurt each other, such as:

Shake hands: The reason for shaking hands with the right hand is to show that "my right hand is unarmed" to show friendliness.

Fuel and bowing are for similar reasons.

In martial arts etiquette, there is a boxing method, the specific meaning of which is: the left palm represents the complete "four educations" of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and symbolizes noble sentiment. Pointing is not arrogant, not proud, and not posing as the "boss". The right fist means brave, and the left glove means right fist, embracing each other, meaning "brave without chaos" and "brave without prohibition" to restrain and control the meaning of brave.

There is also a saying that the five fingers of the left hand are close together (representing the five lakes), the right hand is clenched (representing the four seas), and the left hand is placed on the right hand, indicating that all lakes and seas are brothers. This is the origin of boxing ceremony.
