What are the differences between Japanese customs and China?

There are many differences between Japanese and China customs, which involve all aspects of life.

For example:

Japanese people love to drink, often like China. But Japanese toast is different from China's. People in China clink glasses with each other, and the toast should be made first. Japanese are different. The toasting party took the bottle and kept filling it for the other party, but he didn't drink it. Moreover, in order to show sincerity, we often kneel in front of people we admire and bow our heads to show our respect until they are drunk by him.

Japanese people usually bow when they meet. Generally, people bow to each other at 30 degrees and 45 degrees, and the depth of bowing and bending is different, indicating different meanings. The lowest and most polite bow is called "the most salute". When a man bows, his hands naturally hang down on both sides of his clothes and trousers; When showing respect for each other, people usually put their left hand on their right hand and bow in front of it, especially women.

In international communication, Japanese people are also used to shaking hands, especially young people or people who have more contact with Europeans and Americans have begun to have the habit of shaking hands when they meet. It is considered polite to exchange business cards with the junior or younger party first. When submitting a business card, point to the other party. Business cards are written as "name thorns" in Japanese, and most of the business cards used by women are smaller than those used by men.

In social activities, Japanese people like to use self-deprecating language, such as "please take more care", "tea is not good, care is not good", and they often use self-deprecating language when speaking. Don't tell the Japanese what to do when you are talking, and don't interrupt others when they are talking. During the conversation, don't ask the Japanese about their age, marital status, salary and income. Don't use the words "old" and "old man" to address elderly men and women. The older people are, the more taboo they are.

Japanese names are usually three to six Chinese characters, with the surname first and the first name last. Usually people are called by their surnames, not their first names. Japanese people like to wear traditional clothes-kimonos with clogs on festivals and some important occasions.

The Japanese choose some meaningful years to celebrate the birthday of the elderly. For example, 6 1 year-old means "hijri", and 60 years later it means 1 year-old, rejuvenating; 7O years old is "ancient"; 77 years old is "Happy Birthday"; 88 years old is "Mi Shou", and the Chinese character "Mi" can be disassembled to become 88; The 99-year-old is called "hundred years old" because the word "white" has a horizontal line, making it "hundred".

Most Japanese believe in Shinto and Buddhism. They don't like purple and think it is a sad color. Most taboo green, think green is an ominous color. It is also taboo for three people to "take pictures" together. They think it is an unfortunate omen to be caught between people on the left and right.
