One or three bows:
The basic rules of three bows are as follows: before saluting, you should take off your hat and scarf, stand up straight and look at the recipient visually; Men's hands naturally droop and stick to the trousers on both sides of their bodies, while women's hands droop in front of their abdomen; The upper body bends forward and down about 90 degrees, then returns to its original state, and so on for three times.
Second, deep bow:
The basic action is the same as the three bows, but the difference is that the deep bow can only be made once, but the bending amplitude must reach 90 to show respect.
Third, social and business bow and scrape:
When saluting, stand at attention and stand upright; Facing the recipient, two or three steps away; With the waist as the axis, the whole shoulder leans forward 15 or more, while greeting "hello", "good morning" and "welcome".
The main points of bow etiquette
Before bowing, stand on the basic service posture, face the guests, and put your feet together. Men's hands naturally droop and stick to the trousers on both sides of their bodies. Women's right hands press their left hands in front of their bodies, smiling and looking natural. Bow with your chest out, your head up, your abdomen in, and lean forward above your waist. When bowing, the upper body lifts slightly slower than when bending. The line of sight falls from the opponent's face to his feet 1.5 meters (15 degrees) or 1 meter (30 degrees).
We can divide the bow into the following three types: the first type of bow: the upper body tilt angle is about 15 degrees, which is used for general greetings. The second bow: the upper body leans about 45 degrees, indicating a salute to the other party. Greeting etiquette commonly used in important activities and occasions. Bow three times: the upper body leans about 90 degrees, indicating a deep salute and apology to the other party.
