New Year greeting etiquette 1 First of all, pay homage to your family.

An important activity of the Spring Festival is to go to friends, relatives and neighbors' homes to congratulate the Spring Festival, which used to be called New Year greetings. In China, the custom of paying New Year greetings has a long history. In ancient times, there was a difference between New Year greetings and New Year greetings: New Year greetings were to knock on elders; The New Year is a time for peers to congratulate each other. Now, some organs, organizations, enterprises and schools get together to congratulate each other, which is called "group worship".

New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. After greeting the elders at home, you should also greet people with a smile when you go out to meet them, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes in the four seasons" and "Happy New Year". Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other or invite them to drink and entertain.

Second, from the ceremony, there are usually several common ways to "worship the law" in New Year's greetings:

First, bow down, that is, bow down and kowtow. Now, in some rural areas, when the younger generation pays New Year greetings to the older generation, especially when minors pay New Year greetings to the older generation, this etiquette is ok.

The second is to bow, bow, bow posture is to raise your hand and make a fist first. These fuels must not be misplaced. Male or left, that is, the male's left hand holds the right hand. This is called "Bai Ji", on the contrary, it is "fierce worship". On New Year's Day, holding the left hand with the right hand will bring bad luck. Salute, regardless of seniority, holding Qi Mei, up and down a few times, after the heavy ceremony can bow. This kind of etiquette is generally that the younger generation greets the elders, or that the younger generation greets the superiors.

The third is boxing, which is a unique traditional etiquette of the Chinese nation. Fist is to hold the right hand with the left hand, naturally hold it together, moderately tight, and naturally shake slightly before the chest, not too hard or too high. This kind of etiquette is more common in New Year greetings among peers.

The fourth kind is hail, a kind of ancient female etiquette. The right hand covers the left hand, and the fist is half clenched. It is attached to the right side of the waist and ribs. Swing up and down slightly, knees slightly squat. Sometimes, while saluting, we call it hail. It is rarely used now.

Bowing, a common etiquette in modern times, is used to pay New Year greetings, which is more common for younger generations to their elders, lower generations to their superiors, and also for peers, both men and women.

Third, it is best to wear new clothes during the Spring Festival.

In the old society, when visiting the New Year, most women wore new clothes, red velvet bats, small cornucopia or bright silk flower on their heads. The old ladies' hair is also covered with pomegranate flowers; Boys should change into robes, jackets or vests, as well as new shoes and hats; Girls should wear red and green cheongsam. Why are you wearing red? Mainly to avoid evil spirits. Even prostitutes in the old society were not allowed to wear red skirts at ordinary times, but during the Spring Festival, there were exceptions.

Now you don't have to wear Hanfu for New Year's greetings, but you usually pay attention to wearing new clothes, from head to toe, from inside to outside, wearing brand-new clothes with grades. If it is difficult to look brand-new due to economic conditions, it needs to be "completely clean" and neat and clean. Bright colors, mainly warm colors for women, red is better, which not only exaggerates the festive atmosphere, but also has the traditional meaning of avoiding misfortune. Don't wear black or white. Men's shoes must be cleaned and polished. Don't forget to get a haircut when you wear new clothes. As the saying goes, "If you have money, you must shave your head for the New Year". Be sure to clean your hair when you pay a New Year call.

Fourth, don't pay New Year greetings too early.

It's best to avoid the combination of Chinese and western styles in dress and salute when visiting New Year. If you wear a suit, you'd better bow, bow, but don't bow with your fists, otherwise the contrast will be too big and people will feel uncomfortable. Of course, when you wear Hanfu, you can choose various sacrificial methods according to the object and occasion. Generally speaking, elders will not take the initiative to pay New Year greetings to their younger generation, but generally just respond.

Don't visit your home too early in the New Year. With the development of modern society, the pace of life is getting faster and faster. People are making full use of their rest time at night and trying to make up for the rare entertainment time at ordinary times. Therefore, reciprocity is not as early as possible. It is very important to ensure the rest of others and find the right visiting time. If you go to a young family, don't go before 8 o'clock. Old people should take a lunch break at noon, and don't go at noon. When visiting New Year at home, avoid saying unlucky things, such as death and illness, and don't exaggerate bad things, such as divorce and who is sick.

Don't bring obituaries, don't wear mourning clothes or black veil to pay New Year's greetings. If there are obituaries of relatives and friends in the first month of the old ceremony in Beijing, you should tear a corner of the obituary when you enter the door to show that you can get rid of bad luck.

Etiquette of New Year greetings during the Spring Festival.

Generally speaking, relatives and polite babies will call, such as grandpa, grandma, uncle and aunt. However, there are many guests in the Spring Festival, and it depends on parents teaching how to address the guests who are about to meet in advance.

When the baby is a little sensible, you should tell them in advance that you should take the red envelope and never open it in front of the guests. The best way is to put the red envelope in mom and dad's bag or the baby's own bag at once.

Third, table manners.

During the Spring Festival, it is essential to entertain guests. If in normal times, when the family is together, it is no problem for the children to eat casually. However, when guests are present, you must pay attention to table manners, so that you can become a sensible and polite boy.

The first point: don't enjoy the food alone.

Adults are generally used to children: children will deliberately let them eat more whatever they like. But if there are guests present, we should teach our children manners. Tell the children before eating: "Everyone likes good things, so there are good things on the table. Don't eat it all by yourself, leave some for others to eat. " Nobody likes children who are too selfish. "

Some children like to be picky when eating. Parents should remember to say to their children, "When eating, bring the food in front of you, take a look at that piece and clip it, and don't copy it over and over again." That's very rude. Meat dishes with soup should be carefully sandwiched to avoid splashing on clothes. People will say you are unsanitary, son. Put down the bowl after dinner and politely say' please enjoy your meal'.

Etiquette that should be paid attention to during the Spring Festival

Paying New Year greetings is the most common custom in the Spring Festival. Generally speaking, visiting relatives and friends is a new year's greeting. If it is not because of special circumstances, it is generally chosen before the 15 th National Day.

According to social relations, New Year greetings can be roughly divided into four categories.

One is to visit relatives. On the first day, you must go to your father-in-law's house and bring gifts. After entering the door, bow down to the Buddha statue, ancestor statue and memorial tablet, and then bow down to the elders in turn. You can stay for dinner and play.

The second is a courtesy visit. If you want to pay a New Year call to your colleagues and friends, you should only bow to the Buddha statue three times when you enter the room. If you are equal to your master, you just need to bow down. If you are older than yourself, you should still take the initiative to bow your head. The host should get down from his seat to help you, or even say that he is not polite to show his humility. This situation is generally not suitable for sitting for a long time, so leave after a few pleasantries. After the host worships, he should pay a return visit another day.

The third is a thank-you visit. Anyone who owes money to others (such as lawyers and doctors) in the past year will buy some gifts and send them to express their gratitude by taking the opportunity to pay a New Year call.

The fourth is a series of visits. For neighbors, we didn't have much contact in the past, but we can get along well when we meet. On New Year's Eve, we just went to the yard and said "Congratulations on getting rich" and "Shun Shun Bai Shun" when we met. We just sit in the house for a while, without much etiquette.

New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. After greeting the elders at home, you should also greet people with a smile when you go out to meet them, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes in the four seasons" and "Happy New Year". Neighbors, relatives and friends also visit each other or invite them to drink and entertain.

Although text messages and telephone calls are very popular now, traditional New Year greetings are still talked about.
