Special greetings

As the saying goes, "a good word warms three winters, and a bad word hurts the cold in June." Politeness is one of the good words. Polite language plays a very important role in public relations activities.

Greeting language

Greeting language expresses the communication relationship between the greeting and the callee. It is impolite not to say hello when you meet an acquaintance or to pretend not to hear someone say hello to you. Greeting happens in an instant, but the impact is long-lasting. The following analysis of several greetings.

"Have you eaten?"

This is a long and common greeting used in the history of China. "Food is the most important thing for the people". In China's long feudal society, what most workers want is to be able to eat their stomachs. So asking each other if they have eaten is a concern for each other.

With the improvement of people's living standards in our country, the problem of eating has been solved. However, the greeting "Have you eaten" has been handed down. However, this greeting has basically lost its original meaning. It is just a form and no longer contains the original content. Ask, "Have you eaten?" Just a greeting, meaning "I see you, say hello to you!" " "It doesn't matter whether the other party really ate or didn't eat. So, in economically developed areas, "Have you eaten?" This question is gradually replaced by new greetings.

"What are you going to do?"

This is also a relatively primitive greeting, which is used instead of all languages to show that we have met. As for what the other party does, it doesn't matter, just say hello. In western developed countries, there is basically no such greeting, because "what you do" belongs to the private sphere.

They don't want others to interfere in their private affairs too much. This kind of greeting appears in China, which also reflects the mentality of China people. With the development of economy, this greeting will be gradually replaced by new greetings.

"Where did you get rich?"

This is a problem that has only become popular in China in recent years. In the long history of China, the concept of "a gentleman values righteousness over profit" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, with the deepening of China's reform and opening up, "profit" has attracted more and more attention. The policy of "allowing some people to get rich first" has promoted the people of the whole country to get rich and wished each other "get rich". Therefore, this greeting faithfully reflects the cultural psychology of seeking wealth centered on economic construction from top to bottom in recent years, and reflects the people's higher pursuit after eating enough and wearing warm clothes first, which is a historic progress.

"hello?"

This kind of greeting is concise and universal, and it is also a blessing to others. Therefore, this kind of greeting often appears in an open society with developed economy, frequent communication between different social groups and loose interpersonal relationship. Especially in some cities, with the accelerated pace of life, people come and go in a hurry, and the previous conversational greetings are no longer applicable. It is very polite to say "hello" in a lively rhythm when meeting, accompanied by actions such as smiling and nodding. Therefore, this is a new greeting with the development of the times.

In addition, in some specific occasions, such as people who are far away and are not suitable for conversation, or people with relatively ordinary relationships, just smiling or nodding at each other is also a greeting.

"Are you busy these days?"

Since the reform and opening up, the pace of our life has been accelerating, and we are all busy with our careers, money and life.

For a long time, people like to use "Are you busy these days" to greet alumni and colleagues, especially colleagues of the same age. I think this greeting not only reflects the mutual concern between friends, but also looks elegant and good. Whether the questioner is busy with the other person's work is not a substantive understanding, but a greeting. If the other person answers "Busy", it is impolite for the questioner to stop asking "Busy for what".
