The first one is to give money to relatives and friends when they are doing business at home.

The first one is that when relatives and friends do things at home, they have to give shares of money, and the amount of shares of money is also very much to pay attention to, which is something foreigners can't understand. In fact, foreigners need to participate in the family business of their relatives and friends, after all, this is also a way of socializing. However, foreigners are involved in a variety of ways and means, unlike us in any case can not escape from the share of money this people love and hate things, so in any case foreigners can not understand.

The second thing is that when we Chinese get together, not only do we eat from the same plate, but we also use a lot of language to communicate with each other during the meal. Many foreigners have their own utensils and plates, and then they eat from their own plates according to their needs and tastes, similar to a buffet. We Chinese not only eat a table of food together at dinner, but also drink and joke around, the scene is also very lively.

The third thing is to have a son to carry on the family line, and the more sons you have, the better, which is something that many foreigners find hard to understand. Because of our traditional Confucian culture, we believe that only a son can carry on the family line, so a lot of Chinese people will try their best to have a son. And if any family does not have a son, it will be looked down upon by relatives and neighbors. But foreigners do not have such a strong concept, foreigners are also very good to girls.

The fourth is humility and courtesy, many foreigners are more direct and not able to understand this culture of ours. Since our countrymen are more reserved and less publicized, we will be modest and polite when we encounter some things, and then we can get to the point to make things better. Foreigners are obviously not as humble and polite as we are, they are basically straight to the point and don't really like the way we beat around the bush. So when foreigners see us in the humility and politeness is also touching the head to understand.
