The importance and significance of learning etiquette

The importance and significance of learning etiquette can help improve one's self-cultivation, reflect one's own value, enrich one's inner qualities, increase one's "gold content", and also be more conducive to getting along with and communicating with others, and at the same time make oneself more confident.

Etiquette is the commonly agreed upon and recognized code of conduct in terms of appearance, manners, posture, ceremony, speech and behavior in order to respect each other in social interactions.

Etiquette is a way of behavior used to determine the relationship between people or between people and things, and often conveys an emotion such as trust, respect, submission, congratulations, etc.

Etiquette is generally personal and can be completed without the aid of other objects, while rituals are mostly collective and generally require the aid of other objects to complete.

Basic etiquette for Chinese people at the table

The basic etiquette of Chinese people at the table is:

1. Arrange seats according to age.

2. Do not make impolite noises while dining.

3. Wait until the host has finished speaking before eating, etc. According to historical records, at least in the Zhou Dynasty, dining etiquette had formed a relatively complete system.

In ancient my country, there were "five rituals", namely: auspicious rituals for sacrificial offerings, happy rituals for weddings, guest rituals for guests, military rituals for military affairs, and ominous rituals for funerals.

In fact, etiquette can be divided into two categories: politics and life. The political category includes sacrificial etiquette, military etiquette, etc., and the daily category includes birth ceremonies, dining etiquette, gift etiquette, etc.

What is the etiquette for handing out business cards?

The etiquette when handing over a business card is to hold the thumb and index finger of both hands together and hand it to the other party, and you need to smile and look at the other party. At the same time, you must pay attention to the direction of the business card, and keep it facing the other party. If you are sitting, you need to stand up and keep the same height as the other party before handing over the business card.

1. Action Gestures

When handing over a business card, you need to hold the two corners of the card with the thumb and index finger of both hands and hand it to the other party, and the card needs to be facing the other party. If you are holding a bag in your hand, you can only hand it to the other party with your right hand to show respect for the other party.

2. Facial expressions

When handing someone a business card, you should keep smiling and look at the other person. Don't let your eyes wander, as this will make the other person feel disrespected. Look directly into the other person's eyes and show your confidence.

3. Highly consistent

When handing someone a business card, if you are sitting, you should stand up and hand it to the other person, keeping yourself and the other person at the same height to show mutual respect. If there is more than one person, you should hand it to the person with a higher position or older age first.
