What are the meanings of common sign language?

Many occasions need to be expressed by some gestures, so you should have a certain understanding of common gestures.

(1) Tilt gesture. This gesture is used to invite people to sit down. First, raise your hand from one side of your body, then swing down to the seat so that the big and small arms form a diagonal line.

(2) stretch your little finger. This gesture has different meanings in different countries. For example, in Japan it means woman and lover, but in China it means the smallest and last, so it's better not to use it.

(3) applause. This gesture is a gesture of welcome, congratulations and support, which is often used in meetings, performances, competitions or welcoming guests. The standard practice is to slap the left palm rhythmically with the palm of your right hand down and the palm of your left hand up.

(4) Straight arm gesture. This is used to guide the guests. The standard practice is to straighten your fingers, bend your elbows from the front, swing in the direction of lifting, stop at the height of your shoulders, and basically straighten your elbows.

(5) Give a thumbs up. This gesture is highly praised in China, but it has different meanings abroad. For example, in Britain, this is a common gesture of hitchhiking, while in Greece, it means "fuck off". Therefore, when communicating with foreigners, it is best not to use this gesture to avoid making jokes.

(6) Welcome gesture. There are two kinds of welcome gestures, one is a horizontal gesture, and the other is a gesture with both hands forward. Swing posture. This is a gesture of "please". The way to do this is to put your fingers together, palm straight naturally, palm up, elbow slightly bent, wrist lower than elbow, lift it from the front of your abdomen, gently put it aside with elbow as the axis, stop at the waist and make a 45-degree angle with the front, tilt your head and upper body slightly to the side where your hand extends, and look at the guests with a smile. The posture of swinging your hands forward is to lift your arms forward and upward from both sides of your body, with one hand slightly raised and pointing forward and the other hand slightly bent. This gesture can also be extended in one direction with both arms, which is usually used when there are many guests.
