Bow downKowtow, that is, kneeling and bowing, is now performed in some rural areas when younger generations pay New Year's greetings to their elders, especially when minors pay New Year's greetings to elders of higher generations. 2. Bowing Bow and salute. The posture of bowing is to clasp both hands together and raise them in front of you. You can't hold the fists randomly. Men use the left hand to hold the right hand. This is called "auspicious bow". The opposite is "inauspicious bow". During the New Year, if someone shakes hands with his left hand with his right hand, it will bring bad luck. When performing a greeting, regardless of status, one should raise one's hands to the level of the eyebrows and shake them up and down several times with emphasis. For important gifts, you can bow after bowing, but this etiquette is generally used by younger generations to wish their elders a happy new year, or by subordinates to their superiors. 3. Bow Bowing with fists clasped together is a traditional etiquette unique to the Chinese nation. The fist-holding is when the left hand holds the right hand, naturally holding them together with appropriate tightness; the bowing is when the hands are naturally shaken slightly in front of the chest, not too intense or too high. This etiquette is often seen in New Year greetings among peers. 4. Wanfu Wanfu is a kind of etiquette for ancient women. The right hand covers the left hand, half-clenched into a fist, and placed between the right side of the waist and ribs. The hands are slightly shaken up and down several times, and the knees are slightly squatted. Sometimes women say Wanfu while bowing. But this form is rarely used nowadays. 5. Bow Bowing is a common etiquette in modern times, used for New Year greetings, mostly between younger generations to older generations, and subordinates to superiors. It can also be used between peers, by both men and women. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
