People should be warm and polite when they meet every day. There are certain rules on how to meet people with different identities.

For example, general greetings and upward bows. Bowing is the most common meeting etiquette. The method is to hold your hands together (usually with your right hand clenched and your left hand above your right hand) and hold it to your chest. Don't bend over when standing, which shows general courtesy.

If you are a guest, when you sit down in the door, the host and the guest salute each other politely and humbly. At this moment, you are bowing, which is called "bowing". Bow and make a fist with both hands, arch again and press the same, while lowering your head and bending your upper body slightly forward. Bowing is a common etiquette in daily life. In addition to the above social occasions, people often bow to express their thanks, congratulations, apologies and entrust others to do things. People with high status often bow to people with low status in return.

Society also has a ritual of bowing to the Supreme One, that is, kneeling on the ground, with head and hands touching the ground rhythmically, which is the so-called bowing ceremony. Nowadays, the bowing ceremony can only be seen in remote rural New Year activities, and it is generally no longer implemented.

In today's society, when people meet, they usually use the handshake ceremony introduced from western society.
