Especially those in the West, between the ceremonial vary considerably due to ignorance of these differences arising from misunderstandings and jokes are not uncommon.

Bismarck at that time did not understand China's actual situation, in order not to Li disgraced, and he will wash the water drained, circumstances in mind, to take on other Wenwubaiguan only Ren Xiao . There is also a story: a Kuomintang officer to bring his wife to the airport to meet a consultant from the United States. The two sides met, the American consultants out of courtesy, said: "Your wife is really beautiful!" Officer I am truly embarrassed and some can not help but polite: "Where, where!" In China, this is a very common courtesy, but lame the translation of this phrase is translated into: where? where? American advisers listened to not understand, thinking: I just politely give praise to his wife, he actually asked his wife where I pretty? So he had to said: "The beautiful from head to toe!" These two stories are due to differences between Eastern and W

estern cultures sudden, the ceremonial joke. Thus, understanding the bridge between the West is still the customary ceremony of difference is very necessary.
