What are the interesting etiquettes in China?

When I got married, I also went home, there were a lot of them. Hehe.

China's etiquette culture is divided into two major categories: politics and life. The political category includes sacrifices to the heavens, the earth, and the temples, and the worship of the ancestors, kings, and sages; Country drink, greeting ceremony, military salute.

Wait. The life category includes the five rituals, the high rituals, the rituals, the birth ceremony, and the crown ceremony.

Eating etiquette, gift etiquette, etc.

China is known as the "State of Etiquette", and it is the so-called summer of etiquette. Chinese etiquette is based on Zhou, and ancient China implemented Zhou etiquette.

In ancient China, there was a saying of five rites, the sacrifice was an auspicious ceremony, the wedding was a wedding ceremony, the guest was a guest ceremony, the military ceremony was a military ceremony, and the funeral was a murderous ceremony. Folklore believes that etiquette includes four kinds of life etiquette: birth, crown, marriage and funeral.

Traditional Chinese etiquette and culture include: the ritual of worship, celebration and mourning, the ritual of eating, the ritual of sitting, the ritual of meeting, the ritual of walking, etc.

1. Congratulations and condolences:

Since ancient times, China has been a humane society, where people care for each other and sympathize with each other, and there are many rituals and customs in worship, celebration and mourning. Greetings are generally performed during festivals, where juniors or people of lower status pay homage to their elders, and there are also mutual greetings among peers.

2. The gift of eating:

Food etiquette occupies a very important position in Chinese culture, in the pre-Qin people, people used to "kiss guests from all over the world with the gift of feasting on swallows", and the dinner and drinking of later generations was often a live scene of etiquette. The banquet of the welcome guests is called "receiving the wind" and "washing the dust", and the banquet of sending off the guests is called "Yangxing". The gift of feasting and drinking, whether it is welcome or send-off, is inseparable from wine, "no wine is not a etiquette".

3. The gift of sitting:

The traditional social etiquette is orderly, and there are also the main and secondary seats, with the honorable sitting at the top and the humble sitting last. If you blindly sit in the wrong seat, not only will the owner be unhappy, but you will regret the rude afterwards. If you can't decide which seats to sit in, the best thing to do is to follow the host's arrangement.

4. Gift of meeting:

People should meet each other every day with both a warm attitude and a polite attitude. There are certain rules for how to meet people of different identities. For example, a general greeting is traditionally a bowing salute.

The bow of the hand is the most common meeting etiquette, the way is to hug the hands together (usually the right hand is clenched into a fist, the left hand is added to the right hand) to the chest, standing without bowing, indicating a general courtesy.

5. The Gift of Walking:

In the process of walking, the same attention is paid to the handling of interpersonal relationships, so there is a etiquette of walking Changtong. In ancient times, it was common to practice "tending to bow", that is, when a person with a low status walked in front of a person with a high status, he must bow his head and bend down, and show respect to the Venerable in a small and brisk way, which is "tending to bow".
