Manners and Etiquette

Japanese people often smile all over their faces, but not only when they are happy, but also when they are embarrassed and angry to hide their true feelings. When a woman sits on the floor, she always sits on her curled legs. Different gestures have different meanings: the thumb and forefinger form a circle, and the other three fingers extend upward to indicate money; Hold out your little finger to indicate a woman, etc.

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, it is usually necessary to tell the relationship between the introduced person and himself, as well as his title and the name of his unit. How many more laps to walk!

It is said that Japanese people have a habit of echoing and nodding their heads frequently when talking. "Yes" and "Well, really?" Including this kind of speech, as well as nodding and bending posture, etc., according to investigation and observation, it happens every few seconds in daily conversation. However, it is worth noting that all this does not mean the affirmative meaning of "right" and "understood", and some are just "Oh, really?" "Is that so?" Wait, just as a reaction after listening to each other's words. Contact with a Japanese who has this habit, if you think that "he really said yes at that time", then it is unexpected for the Japanese. On the other hand, the Japanese who are used to echoing the voice are uneasy about foreigners who don't express any reaction in the conversation. They will have the feeling: "Is this person listening to me?"

Even if the Japanese hold clear opinions, they avoid direct expressions such as "I think so" and "My opinion is like this" and adopt "I'm afraid so?" "I think so. What do you think?" This kind of euphemistic wording obviously thinks that this expression is appropriate and polite. In language expression, it clearly shows that there is room for consideration and judgment for the other party, and it shows a gesture of expressing one's own opinions after listening to the other party's reaction.

Edit this paragraph to greet each other

Japanese people often greet each other. From getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, in various occasions of daily life, stereotyped greetings are very rich. However, greeting each other is limited to people who are regarded as friends in some sense. For example, people you don't know when walking in the park, or people in the same seat in the traffic vehicle, generally don't talk to each other unless there are special circumstances. Because on this occasion, the other party is an irrelevant outsider.

Japanese people have been eating rice as their staple food since ancient times, and they like to eat fish. Generally do not eat fat meat and pig offal, and some people do not eat mutton and ducks. No matter at home or in a restaurant, there are levels of seats, and generally you can follow the arrangement of the host. In Japan, there is a national custom-tea ceremony, which is rich in Zen meditation and used to cultivate interest. Although many modern Japanese youths are no longer interested in it, it is still valued by society as a traditional art.

Japan is known as the "land of etiquette", and it is a Japanese custom to pay attention to etiquette. People usually bow and bow to each other when they meet, and say "hello", "goodbye" and "please take care of me". Japanese people attach great importance to exchanging business cards when they meet for the first time. It is not only rude to meet for the first time without a business card, but also the other party will think that you are not sociable. When giving business cards to each other, you should bow down first and hand over the business cards with both hands. After receiving the other party's business card, you should read it carefully to see the identity, position and company of the other party, and nod your head to show that you know the identity of the other party. Japanese people think that business cards are the representatives of a person, and treat them as if they were themselves. If you take a business card and put it in your pocket without reading it, it is considered rude. If you are going to attend a business negotiation, you must deliver business cards to everyone in the room and accept their business cards. You can't leave out anyone. Although it takes a lot of time, it is a way to show mutual friendship and respect. Tokyo's Tangdao Shrine is full of students' wish cards for further studies. The Tangdao Shrine is similar to the Confucius Temple in China, offering sacrifices to Sugawara no michizane, who is known as the "God of Learning" in Japan. When visiting a Japanese home, you should make an appointment with the host in advance, and ring the doorbell to announce your name before entering the door. If there is no doorbell in this house, never knock on the door, but open the sliding door on the door and ask, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?" After entering the door, you should take the initiative to take off your clothes and hats, take off your scarf (but be careful not to wear vest or barefoot even in hot weather, otherwise it would be rude), put on spare slippers and give the gifts you brought to your host. When you are sitting in a room, it is polite to sit with your back to the door. Only under the persuasion of the host can you move to a distinguished position (referring to the seat in front of the niche with various works of art and decorations, which is specially prepared for VIPs). Japanese people are not used to letting guests visit their houses, so don't ask for a look around. Japan is particularly taboo for men to break into the kitchen. You have to ask the owner's permission to go to the toilet. When eating, if you don't know how to eat a certain meal, you should ask the host for advice, and turn your chopsticks around to use when picking up food. When saying goodbye, ask the guests to ask first and thank the host. When you return to your residence, you should call the other party to tell them that you have returned safely and thank them again. Don't forget to express your gratitude when you meet your host again after a while. When Japanese people hold a banquet, the traditional way of toasting is to put a bowl filled with clear water in the middle of the table and put a clean white gauze in front of everyone. Before pouring wine, the host will rinse his glass in clear water first, press it on the gauze with the cup mouth down, so that the water drops will be sucked dry by the gauze, and then hand it to the guests with both hands. After drinking, the guests do the same to show the friendship and intimacy between the host and guest.
