What do Japanese gestures stand for?

Every country has a unique culture, and people's behaviors show great differences under this cultural background. Studying in Japan, if you want to live a smooth life, the first thing you have to learn and agree with is these behaviors of the Japanese. Bian Xiao, an unnamed Japanese study abroad network, will summarize the ten most commonly used gestures of the Japanese for you. ◆O and X: In Japan, the meanings of symbols O and X are very clear. O stands for positive images such as correctness, qualification and victory, and X stands for negative images such as error, disqualification, loss and failure. So all shapes of O and X can be understood to contain this meaning. As a gesture, you use your thumb and forefinger or raise your arm over your head to form a circle to represent O, and cross your forefinger or arm to represent X. Counting method: you can count 1- 10 with only one hand. 1-5 means that you can bend your fingers from your thumb, forefinger and middle finger in turn. The numbering method of 6- 10 is to stretch out the bent fingers one by one from the little finger. The number of such people is very wide, and there are no restrictions on gender, age and so on. When showing the number to the other party, put your palm toward the other party, gently close your fingers, and then stand up one by one in the order of index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger and thumb. When representing a number of 6- 10, do the same with your other hand. ◆ Swing: Gently release the palm downward, and swing the wrist back and forth from the front to the sides of the body several times. This method can be used regardless of gender and age. But it is impolite to wave to people with high status and deep qualifications, and we should try our best to avoid it. Self: it means "that's me" and "me?" When waiting for meaning, the index finger points to the nose. ◆ Money: the thumb and forefinger form a circle, and the other three fingers are straight or slightly bent (OK gesture) ◆ Gender: In informal occasions, the thumb can be used to represent men and the little finger to represent women. Thief and theft: bend your index finger and act like you want to hook something, which means quietly taking other people's things. Flattery: make a fist with your right hand and rub it on the palm of your left hand with the lower side of your fist. This is an imitation of grinding sesame seeds on a stone mortar. This gesture is used to express the saying of "grinding sesame seeds", implying flattery ◆ Drink: make an unsealed circle with your thumb and forefinger, move your wrist ◆ Let others make way: put your right hand and fingers together, stretch forward, vibrate up and down, and bend forward at the same time. Bend down to show modesty and courtesy. Body language is the most touching language in the world, but if used improperly, it will be self-defeating.
