forefinger folding when eating, also known as "folded posture", originally originated from oriental culture. When eating, some people will put their hands on the table, fold them up, and touch each other with their forefinger. This kind of courtesy action is called forefinger folding. In oriental culture, the gesture formed by using the index finger and the middle finger is regarded as a sign of respect, courtesy and deference.

forefinger folding has become a widely circulated cultural symbol in contemporary society and is widely used in various occasions by the public. In restaurants, banquets, parties, conferences and other occasions, forefinger folding has become a popular habit and culture. Many people think that the action of folding hands when eating not only conveys people's respect for food, but also expresses the respect and cherish between people.

In addition to the use of folding the index finger when eating, this gesture is more diversified in modern people's life. Index finger folding has become a symbol of international common language and a global cultural expression. The forefinger folding gesture can be seen in TV programs, movies, magazine covers, advertisements, shop signs and various social media. Whether in daily life or in some special occasions, the folding of the index finger conveys the human values of "love, respect, respect and equality of heart".
