Why should the elders kowtow to the younger generation when they give red envelopes?

It is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, a good etiquette, and a custom inherited from ancient times in some areas in northern China. This etiquette actually comes from ancient times. In ancient times, kowtow was called kowtow, and in vernacular, it was called kowtow. There are different rules for kowtowing according to different objects and occasions. If it's a simple kowtow, it's usually that the child meets the elders, and then the parents say to come and meet your second grandfather. At this time, this kowtow is just a question of "meeting" and "meeting". Moreover, ancient people paid more attention to propriety, justice and honesty. If a person wants to be a gentleman, his manners can't be omitted.

However, as a traditional custom and culture, kowtowing has caused some controversy in society. Some people think that men should not kowtow easily because there is gold on their knees. Some people think that this is a very old custom and should not be advocated now. In fact, I think we should look at it with a normal heart. This kowtow is a kind of gratitude and a kind of etiquette. There is no need to go online. At present, our kowtow has been simplified to bow or nod, or smile, so I think as long as we are grateful, we should not stick to the etiquette of kowtowing.

But you still have to kowtow when you need it. Like us northerners, we kowtow to grandpa when he goes to the grave. We have been like this since childhood, and we don't think there is anything wrong. But just like receiving a red envelope, if you don't want to kowtow, just say thank you or bow. Moreover, when you get a red envelope, you always say "no", and then your elders force it to you, so you can use it to finish it.
