Bowing and kowtowing are all from ancient times, so do you know? The following is for everyone, I hope to help everyone!
The kowtow ceremony of interpersonal relationship is the intermediary between people. In an annoying life, deviant phenomena often occur. There are also behaviors that break the moral bottom line of being a man, and even reach an uncontrollable state. If it is, it will lead to a reflective mood of "scolding for three days and beating for three days", abide by the iron law of "killing people without paying for their lives" and apologize to others. This iron law is an unwritten law of the people, and everyone abides by it, so it has a high status in folk customs. It is indifferent to high officials, frivolous in material wealth, not close to the square hole, just a kowtow, and everything is over. However, there are also people with complicated situations, or an old beef tendon and a stubborn stone egg. I said a lot of good things, misunderstood a lot, pinched my nose several times and wiped my tears several times. Please forgive me this time. At this point, the stubborn dead beef tendon filled with gas in the chest is still propping up the cow, his face stretched like a bow in Yangzhou, his mouth closed tightly and he said nothing. At this time, the air is not flowing, and the atmosphere is particularly dignified. Some respected people, or some elderly people, said, "kneel down and kowtow!" " "At this time, the confessor was in tears, kneeling on his knees and landing on his head, even knocking his head three times. The frightened and angry people hurriedly slipped down the kang and held the confessor in their hands.
However, there are still some stubborn eggs. I ignored you and turned two or three times. I still sit on the kang and stand still, as steady as Mount Tai. I saw the sinner kneeling on the ground, unable to get up. If so, the elder said, drink the wine, someone handed the glass to the confessor, and the confessor knelt down and put the wine on his head for the master to pick it up. The elder spoke again, saying, "Why don't you bring a small wine glass, and don't accept your head ..." Then he advised him, "It's not enough to kill people ..." The master thought for a long time, and everyone went too far. He raised the small wine glass and apologized to himself, so he had to take Qi Mei's wine glass and raise the confessor with both hands. The life-and-death struggle was still a trivial spear.
In ancient times, this custom of kowtowing to the leader of the alliance had a ceremony of blood alliance, that is, swearing with the blood of livestock in both sides' mouths or blood painted on their lips. Later people followed the rituals of the ancients, set up a card rack on it, and wrote books in the names of gods and land kings. Then several people knelt before the throne and swore to God and the land king: "I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, I just want to die on the same day." We share joys and sorrows. "If that's the case, after the altar oath, they will kowtow to heaven and earth together, that is to say, God will testify. This ceremony was called "burning incense". Later, people called each other "worshiping the elder brother" and the younger brother called "worshiping the younger brother". In fact, the "Three Oaths in Taoyuan" ceremony in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was held in this way and has been passed down by people.
In northern Shaanxi, there is a custom called "Ganda" to keep locked dolls. When a ceremony was held for the doll, the child was asked to kneel down and kowtow to Ganda. Every child's birthday, the older one needs to go home and bring a red clue to the doll, which is "lock". When a child grows up to twelve years old, he thinks that he is "full of soul", can unlock the lock, and will never take the lock line again, but he will always be called old.
There are large and small temples all over northern Shaanxi. February 2nd, March 3rd, April 8th, May13rd every year, etc. Temple fairs are held one after another. At this time, some good men and women knelt in front of the idol, drew lots for divination, sought good or bad luck, and then kowtowed and bowed. In real life, there are many god-fearing kowtows, such as praying for rain for the Dragon King, praying for God to turn around in nine songs, offering sacrifices to the wind, etc., all of which are inseparable from the gesture of * * * egg-shaped objects kneeling on the ground with their heads close to the ground and rising high.
China's high-ranking figures and international friends have long used the etiquette of hugging and shaking hands to communicate international relations and friendly interpersonal atmosphere, which is civilized and concise, and has been cared for by people. With the pulse of the times, some kowtowing ceremonies of the people in northern Shaanxi have also been simplified, such as "worshipping heaven and earth" at weddings, or nodding instead of kowtowing. On holidays, kowtowing to family gods such as land gods and kitchen gods has long been exempted. How to inherit the kowtow ceremony in life and why not use it again have to be chosen in the long-term process of people's daily life.
Bowing is a kind of etiquette in Han folk tradition, and it is a common etiquette when the host and guest meet in ancient times. Push forward with your hands folded and bend slightly to show your salute. Because you don't have to touch your hands, it's more hygienic than shaking hands with foreigners. However, with the introduction of modern western culture into China, China people accepted and used the handshake ceremony, but the beautiful greeting of bowing was gradually abandoned or even forgotten by China people.
Bowing has different uses according to different occasions. The one with the right hand wrapped inside and the left hand wrapped outside is called "Bai Ji", which is often used in festive occasions such as Chinese New Year. On the contrary, it is "fierce worship", which is generally used for mourning. Women's gestures are the opposite of men's. The left hand clenched fist, and the right hand hugged "Bai Ji".
