During the epidemic, what are the ways to say hello instead of shaking hands all over the world?

In order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, what are the common etiquette in the world? Shaking hands is no longer suitable for use during the epidemic, and hugging is definitely not good. As a result, some new ways of greeting have appeared, including hitting elbows, touching feet, holding fists, folding hands and so on.

The distance between people is also far away after it is clear that Covid-19 can be passed on from person to person. However, the distance between bodies does not mean the distance between hearts. Friendly people no longer shake hands, hug or touch each other, because it will spread the virus. So how to express the friendship between people? Smart people have transformed the handshake, from hand contact to elbow. The contact between elbow and elbow is not as formal as handshake, but it has a playful feeling, as if two people are saying: Hey, buddy, hello!

Others invented the way of touching feet. As we all know, human limbs are the most flexible. Since hands can't touch, feet can always touch them. Feet can't be used for eating, drinking and taking things, and there are socks and shoes wrapped around them. The way to touch feet is also very safe, but it needs two people to cooperate well and some flexibility. For example, when two young people touch their feet, one foot touches the other and the other foot is used to keep balance. If the balance is not good, people will easily fall down. Therefore, the way of touching your feet to say hello is still suitable for young people. This kind of touching your feet is like a sign and a celebration ceremony.

In China, traditional culture has a far-reaching influence. Shaking hands is not our local etiquette, but fuels really originated in China. When two people meet, they hold each other's fists, which reminds us of the ancient chivalrous meeting scene. As early as 3, years ago, the boxing ceremony was popular in China, where the left hand was on the top and the right hand was on the bottom to show respect for another person. If the right hand is on the top and the left hand is on the bottom, it means provocation, so don't make a mistake when you hold the boxing ceremony.

namaste, also known as namaste, originated in India. It was a common etiquette of Buddhists at first, and then extended to daily life, giving people a sense of humility.
