What are the New Year etiquette
1. Language: Say "Happy New Year" to everyone, and the younger generation should pay a New Year call to their elders.
2. Guest etiquette: lead the children to other people's homes. After entering the door, parents should guide the children to arrange their shoes neatly after saying hello. Remember to let the child say "thank you" when the child is served.
3. Table manners: When we eat, we should take the food in front of us, take a look at that piece and clip it, and don't copy it over and over again. That is very impolite. Meat dishes with soup should be carefully sandwiched to avoid splashing clothes.
4. red envelope etiquette: thank you for receiving the red envelope. When the elders give the red envelope, the babies should take it with both hands and say thank you to the elders. And the red envelope can't be opened in person.
What are the manners and postures for New Year's greetings?
The etiquette of holding a fist for New Year's greetings is a form of New Year's greetings between peers. The standard man's posture is that his right hand forms a fist and his left hand wraps it, because the right hand is conceptually an attacker and wraps it to show goodwill. Women, on the other hand, do not hold their fists, but only press their hands. The left and right hands are turned upside down, which means mourning boxing, meaning mourning and begging for mercy. Be sure not to make mistakes when you pay New Year's greetings.
Make an appointment in advance for New Year's greetings, and the elders should make an appointment in the morning.
Make an appointment in advance before New Year's greetings. Don't "crash" with other New Year's greetings of the host, or make an empty trip because the host also goes out to pay New Year's greetings. At the same time, give the host a time to prepare in advance. It's best to give the host a choice when making an appointment. Don't set a time unilaterally. It's better for both parties to be more convenient when it is agreed.
Generally speaking, people choose mornings to pay New Year greetings to their elders, and don't get up too early during festivals, because people usually get up late during festivals. If you visit the door too early to pay New Year's greetings, the host is often caught off guard. If the New Year's greetings are hosted by the New Year's greetings, the time for the New Year's greetings can be determined according to the time of the dinner. Arrive ahead of time, and don't wait for the dinner time. Time should be reserved for greeting and chatting.
Gifts should be prepared appropriately, and costumes should be coordinated
Appropriate gifts should be selected according to the main target of New Year greetings. If you know well the target of New Year greetings, you can choose the gift that the other party likes, which is also considered as a good choice. If you don't know much, you can choose flowers, fruits and food ... and you won't go wrong. Tobacco and alcohol should be determined according to the object. For example, it is meaningless to give grandma a New Year greeting but give her cigarettes and alcohol that are not used by her. If the host has children at home, he can also choose the gifts that the children like appropriately.
In the new year, when visiting relatives and friends, you should pay attention to your own clothes. The holiday clothes are mainly urban leisure and fashion. Don't wear too much exercise or evening dress. If the clothes are dark or depressed, you can add some small ornaments to embellish them and increase the festive atmosphere. The colors of a family's clothes should be coordinated as much as possible to increase the warmth of the family.
There is also a need to pay attention to receiving red envelopes. You can say "thank you" with both hands.
When you take your children to other people's homes for New Year's greetings, you will receive red envelopes representing blessings. Parents should teach their children in advance, and when the elders give red envelopes, they should catch them with both hands and then say "thank you" politely. After receiving the red envelope, never open it in front of the guests, because it is very impolite. The best way is to put red envelopes in parents' bags or children's own bags.
In addition, it should be noted that China people are used to being polite. When relatives and friends give lucky money, they should try not to pander in front of their children, or snatch the red envelope and return it to others. This will make children very confused. They don't understand the social mentality of adults, but it is easy to hurt their little hearts.
Don't be a bully at the table
Table manners actually test parents' education of their children at ordinary times. Therefore, before the Spring Festival, parents have to educate their children about "rules" to avoid embarrassment.
When someone comes to visit or visit someone else's house, parents can remind their children:
1. You should wait for all the people to arrive, especially when the host is seated and announces the start of the banquet.
2. Sit down and eat well. Don't run around, climb on the table, and eat while playing.
3. Don't wave chopsticks, spoons or knives and forks at the dining table.
4. When you take your seat, don't pick and choose the food over and over again, but be careful to pick the food, so as not to splash your own clothes or others'.
It should be emphasized that when a child says that he is full, parents should stop persuading him to eat, and help him to refuse the advice of other relatives and friends. This is respect for the child's own feelings.
Guests should be warm and generous when visiting
China people love to be lively, and they will visit each other during the Spring Festival. Parents should tell their children in advance that when someone visits, they must greet them with a smile.
1, to teach children to open the door to greet, welcome.
2. After leading the guests into the door, you should politely ask them to sit down. After greeting the guests to sit down, children can prepare tea, fruit, snacks and snacks with their parents and do something they can.
3. When receiving a small guest about the same age as a child, tell the child that when the small guest comes, he should receive the other person politely and kindly, and can take out food, toys, books, CDs, etc. to share with the small guest according to his own wishes. In order to avoid being jealous of a small guest, it is polite to tell the child in advance that it is a compliment, which does not mean ignoring him.
4. When guests leave, you can ask your children to see them off together, send them to the door to say goodbye, and invite them to come again next time.
Good manners of parents are the most vivid and effective education for children. Parents can subtly influence their children through their own behaviors, so that children can develop the habit of being polite in a good environment and become well-behaved and cultured little gentlemen and ladies.

Common sense of etiquette for New Year greetings
On the first day of the lunar new year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress up neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other a happy New Year.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China people have laid down unwritten rules for the New Year greetings, which have a certain order: first, worship the gods of heaven and earth, second, worship the true shadow of ancestors, then worship the elders of Gaotang, and finally the whole family worships each other in the order of seniority. Give gifts to elders and rewards to children. When paying a New Year call, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to the elder, wishing the elder a long and healthy life. The elder can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that the lucky money can suppress evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend one year safely with the lucky money.
Paying homage to relatives and friends also pays attention to the order
Paying homage to one's own family on the first day; On the second and third days, I visited my mother's uncle, uncle, father-in-law, etc. until the 16th. This custom was popular as early as the Song Dynasty. In Volume 6 of Dream of China in Tokyo, Mr. Meng described Bianjing's cloud in the Northern Song Dynasty: "On October 1 ST, Kaifeng Prefecture was released for three days, and scholars celebrated each other since early." During the Qing Dynasty, the New Year greeting etiquette was sublimated. Gu Tieqing, a Qing Dynasty man, described in Qing Jia Lu that "men and women pay homage to their parents, and the master leads them to be humble and young, paying homage to their neighbors and friends, or sending their children to congratulate them, which is called' New Year greetings'. Even those who don't meet at the end of the year will also worship each other at this time ... " Generally speaking, it's enough for people of the same age to pay a New Year call.
first of all, worship the elders at home. On the morning of the first day, after the younger generation gets up, they should first pay a New Year call to their elders. Of course, after the elders are worshipped, they will certainly distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. What you can't forget is to pay New Year greetings to your neighbors and elders. There is an old saying in China: A distant relative is better than a close neighbor. Therefore, it is second only to our own elders to pay New Year greetings to our neighbors and elders. Generally speaking, neighbors and elders will also give "lucky money".
the second is to visit relatives to celebrate the New Year. You must go to your father-in-law's and mother's house on the first day or the second day, and you must bring a gift. After entering the door, you have to bow down to the Buddha statue, the image of your ancestors and the memorial tablet, and then bow down to the elders in turn.
then there is the courtesy New Year greeting. If you wish to pay a New Year call to a friend, as soon as you enter the house, you only have to kowtow to the Buddha statue, and if you are equal to your master, you only have to.
