I don't know if you have noticed the gestures of the protagonists in the Ip Man series. Whenever he sees a martial arts colleague, he always raises his fist and salutes. You may think this is unnecessary, but it is not. As long as you observe life patiently, you will find that this is a basic greeting etiquette. Just like when you go out for a walk with your family, neighbors always ask: Have you eaten? It's not that they have nothing to do with each other. It's just a greeting handed down by our ancestors, which is suitable for ordinary people in the past.
Similarly, boxing is the best way to greet people who practice martial arts. However, boxing ceremony also has the basic requirements of salute, so we must not make a mistake, otherwise it will give people a bad impression of arrogance. Boxing requires the left hand to hold the right hand, and the thumb of the left hand cannot point to itself, so it must be close to the tiger's mouth. It is advisable to be 20 cm away from the chest, and the position is about five or six centimeters above the chest. Then some friends will ask, why can't your thumb point to yourself?
In China culture, thumb means greatness and greatness. If you point your thumb at yourself, it means that you look down on each other and think that you are better than him, which is easy to cause disputes. As for the bow ceremony, as the name implies, it is to form an arch to express congratulations, which is generally suitable for wedding occasions.
Through analysis, you must know the difference between the bow-bending ceremony and the fist-clenching ceremony, and their different meanings. Don't make mistakes in attending a friend's party. Because these basic etiquette are formed in the long-term development of China culture and have fixed cultural meanings. If you use it wrong, it will not only be embarrassing, but also expose your lack of manners.
