When it comes to the finger buckle ceremony, many people know that this is a kind of thank-you etiquette when others pour tea for you, but not everyone knows that this custom actually has a very interesting **.
One year Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River to play, one day he took a few eunuchs to play, and when he was tired, he went to a teahouse to take a rest, and the teahouse Xiaoer immediately came up and put a few bowls on the table, and then he took a few steps away with the copper kettle, and then lifted the copper kettle to pour tea into the bowl, and the Qianlong Emperor saw a water injection coming out of his copper kettle spout and pouring it directly into the bowl in front of him. The bowl was quickly filled, and there was no extra tea poured on the table, and then Qianlong immediately asked Xiao Er to cross the copper kettle, after the surprise, and then he walked a few steps away to learn the movement of the shop Xiao Er to lift the pot and pour tea, the eunuchs on the side saw that the emperor was pouring tea into their bowl, which they could afford, and they were frightened all of a sudden, but because they came out of the micro-suit, there was no guard around them, so they did not dare to expose Qianlong's identity casually, for fear of encountering danger, But they really didn't dare to accept the emperor's kindness of pouring tea for them in vain, so they immediately bent their fingers and tapped the table on the table continuously, until the emperor finished pouring the tea, they stopped, went out of the teahouse and returned to their residence, and the emperor asked them how many eunuchs, why do you keep knocking on the table with your fingers in the teahouse during the day? Any warnings?
Several eunuchs immediately knelt down and replied: The minions can't stand the Banzai Lord pouring tea, which is torturing the minions, but because the master is outside and does not bring a guard, so in order not to expose the identity of the Banzai Lord, the minions can only refer to the head and kowtow to thank them, and then this kind of thank-you gift of kowtowing to the table with a finger has somehow become popular among the people.
Replace "head" with "hand", so "kowtow" means "kowtow" three fingers are bent to indicate three kneeling, and the fingers are lightly knocked nine times, which means nine kowtows, which is the highest etiquette.

You must have seen the situation where the host pours tea for the guest, and the guest knocks on the table next to him, and this act of knocking on the table after pouring tea is called "kowtow". "Knocking hand" originated in the Qing Dynasty and has some relationship with Emperor Qianlong.
At that time, Qianlong went to the private micro-service for a private visit. I was tired of walking, so I went to a small teahouse with the local county order to drink tea. After Qianlong arrived at the teahouse, he directly picked up the teapot and wanted to pour tea for the county order.
The county order was flattered when he saw that the current emperor wanted to pour tea for himself, but at that time, he couldn't directly kowtow to thank the emperor, after all, it was a private visit to Weifu, and no one knew that Qianlong was the emperor. In the end, in order to thank the emperor, the county order bent his finger and knocked it on the table three times. In this way, the "kowtow" began to become popular until now
In addition to using the "kowtow" when drinking tea, when we go out to eat with the leader, how the leader pours us wine, we can also use the "kowtow" to thank the leader. "Prostration" has different ways of treating different people, and if it is an elder, then our fingers should all be bent and hit the table three times. The fingers are all bent to represent the five-body bowing to the ground.
If this elder is someone you particularly respect, then you can knock on the table nine times when you perform the "prostration", which means three kneels and nine prostrations.
