If you are in China, you should pay attention to the following:

Meeting ceremony-people should be warm and polite when meeting each other every day. There are certain rules about how to meet people with different identities. For example, a general greeting and a traditional bow ceremony. Bowing ceremony is the most common meeting etiquette. The way is to hold your hands together (usually with your right hand clenched, and your left hand on top of your right hand) and raise it to your chest, standing without leaning down, indicating general politeness. If you are a guest, when you enter the door and sit down, the host and guest salute each other politely and humbly. At this time, you are bowing, which is called "bowing". In today's society, when people meet each other, they usually use the handshake ceremony introduced from western society. 1, the other party is a respected scholar and should not take the initiative to shake hands.

the ceremony of sitting-the traditional social etiquette is orderly, and the seats are also divided into primary and secondary positions, with the honorable person sitting on the seat and the humble person sitting at the end. There are certain rules for who to sit in and where to sit. If you sit in the wrong seat blindly, not only will your host be unhappy, but you will also regret your rudeness afterwards. If you can't grasp what kind of seats to sit, the best way is to listen to the host's arrangement. Indoor seating is east-oriented, that is, guests sit on the west seat, and the host usually accompanies them on the east seat. Older people can be arranged in the south, that is, the north seat. The younger generation who accompany the wine is generally in the north position, that is, the south seat. The rule of sitting is that when eating, the human body should be as close as possible to the food table, and when not eating, the body should be as far back as possible, which is called "sitting empty." If a distinguished guest comes, you should get up immediately to greet him.

Dietary Rites-Dietary Etiquette occupies an extremely important position in China culture. In the pre-Qin period, people kissed the guests from all over the world with the gift of "Yan Yan", and future generations' dinners and drinks were often a lively drama of etiquette. The banquet for welcoming guests is called "welcome" and "welcome", and the banquet for seeing off guests is called "farewell". No matter whether you welcome or send a banquet, you can't do without wine. "No manners without wine". There are many manners for drinking at a banquet, and guests can't drink until the host raises a glass to persuade them to drink. As the saying goes: "If you drink with others, don't start drinking first.". If the guests want to express their gratitude to the host for their hospitality, they can also raise their glasses to the host in the middle of the banquet. In the process of eating, the guest can move chopsticks only after the owner holds chopsticks to persuade him to eat. As the saying goes: "Eat with people, don't try it first." In ancient times, there were a series of eating rules, such as "don't sigh when eating", "* * * don't eat enough, * * don't rub your hands in rice" and "don't throw bones at dogs", etc. The host and guest respected each other and created a good atmosphere for harmonious and civilized eating.

Japanese names generally consist of four words. The first two words are family names, and the last two words are your own names. Generally speaking, Japanese people don't like to introduce themselves. As an introducer, you usually have to tell the relationship between the introduced person and yourself, as well as his title and the name of the company where he works. AA system is called "cut survey" in Japanese. Generally, when friends go to restaurants and bars together, if they don't say who will treat them in advance, they all use AA system to pay. "Cut survey" means to share their own expenses according to the number of heads. AA system originated in Europe and America. Pay for your own use and feel at ease, so as not to owe others a debt of gratitude for treating you to dinner, not only in restaurants, but also by bus. It is clear to each other that you pay your own fare.

Business etiquette

When you go to Japan to engage in business activities, you should choose February-June and September-October, and at other times, local people should take more vacations or be busy with festivals.

Japanese businessmen pay more attention to establishing long-term cooperative partnership. They pay great attention to maintaining each other's face in business negotiations, and hope that the other party will do the same. When giving gifts, local people attach great importance to class or rank, so don't give them too expensive gifts, lest they mistakenly think that your status is higher than theirs.

Travel etiquette

When taking the tram, passengers should queue up in order at the entrance (marked on the ground). When the bus stops, passengers will be divided into two lines on both sides of the door, and then get on the bus after getting off. Whenever the tram arrives at the station, the passengers on the tram should be careful not to stand at the door of the car, so as not to hinder other passengers from getting on and off. In case of rush hour, passengers standing at the door should get off the bus for the time being, and then get on the bus after getting off the bus. In order to prevent sexual harassment, some tram companies in Japan have specially arranged special vehicles for women after 11 pm. Men must pay attention to watch out before getting on the bus, otherwise they may be regarded as "idiots (men who sexually harass)" and give them to the police.

If it is during non-busy hours, you need to press the get-off buttons on both sides of the car before getting off, otherwise the car may not stop. Most buses in Japan go up at the front door and down at the back door.

the way to take a taxi (disco) is the same as that in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province. It's just that the taxi door is controlled by the driver, so passengers don't have to close the door themselves when getting on and off.

Taking elevators and escalators

Escalators are extremely common in Japan. When Japanese people take escalators, they usually stand on the left (in Tokyo, Kanto, while in Osaka, Kansai, they are used to standing on the right and rushing on the left), leaving the right side to those who are eager to move forward. If two people stand side by side in the escalator at the same time, it will block the channel and prevent others from moving. When you take the escalator, you should generally keep a step away from the person in front (especially when there are women in front of men) and keep a certain distance to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.
