Ⅰ. 常规礼仪
Millie 告诉 Edward 中国有很多礼仪文化,而且中国地域辽阔、人口众多,不同地区还有着当地特色的礼仪文化。于是 Edward 决定先了解一些必须要知道的礼仪文化。
It is impossible to name all Chinese customs in a single article. Even so, in this passage we bring you several Chinese customs and traditions that you should know. Here we go!
Chinese usually do not show their feelings openly, also avoiding any unnecessary body touch. The Chinese feel uncomfortable about people kissing each other on the face. In fact, shaking hands was also not so acceptable in the past. For them it is enough to make a small nod or bow when greeting. As the country gradually lets Western traditions in, people are used to shaking hands to greet.
Many food manners must be followed strictly at meals. Some details should be paid much attention to by both guests and hosts. In China, the older guests are always seated first, and then others can take their seats. Food manners are also very important. Chopsticks should never be placed upwards in food. And to eat you must put your mouth close to your own bowl.
The Chinese have the habit and skill of being able to sleep anywhere at any time. It doesn't matter if it's on the break from work, beside the street or waiting in a supermarket. This Chinese custom has nothing to do with laziness—quite the opposite. In China, sleeping for a short time in public places is considered a symbol of effort. For example, a photo of a sleeping doctor in the corner of the operating room spread quickly and wildly online. Thousands of netizens(网民) gave the photo a "like" to show their respect to the doctor. So, this person has been putting a lot of effort into his work and it is right that he should sleep as he likes.
Many of you have already known it's polite not to open gifts in public. But that's not the only important thing to know when receiving gifts in China. For example, the Chinese will usually refuse your gift up to three times to show they are well educated. But in the end, they're willing to accept it. And remember not to receive the gift with only one hand.
Question: Why did the writer choose to introduce these customs and traditions in this passage?
