There are the following characteristics in the details of life:
The Chinese nation is famous for its friendliness and hospitality. As we all know, it attaches importance to civility and politeness, treats guests warmly and sincerely, and is modest in language. Commonly used words are: "I heard a lot for the first time"; After a long separation, I usually say "long time no see"; Ask for advice with "teaching"; Ask for advice and use "instructions"; Say "I'm sorry" with help; Say "tolerance" when expressing gratitude; Being with friends is called "companionship"; Wait for the guest to call "wait"; The guest friend shouted "coming" at the door; Visiting guests is called "visiting"; Gathering friends first leaves as "excuse me"; Persuade the behavior of "staying". China's language is complex and rich in expression. Auspicious words and auspicious words include "congratulations on getting rich", "all the best", "bon voyage" and "health and longevity". Geely's gifts and mascots are: "Apple" (meaning peace, safety), "Shoutao" (meaning health and longevity), and fish (meaning wealth, wealth is more than enough, every year is more than enough). There is a saying in China called "yes-man". Generally, even numbers are auspicious numbers, especially "6" is the most popular number, and people often say "66". This is also due to the agreement between "6" and "Lu", which is a symbol of wealth and good fortune. I also appreciate the singular number "9". This is mainly because "9" is the highest single digit, and people call it "Tian", which symbolizes the meaning of extremely high, extremely wide, extremely large and extremely deep. Because "9" and "long" are homophonic and have a long and permanent omen, they are also known as auspicious numbers.
People in China generally like red, which is called the color of victory. I like green and think green represents spring and happiness. Pay attention to yellow, people regard it as a symbol of safety. I prefer to stick the word "fu" upside down, which means that happiness has arrived, indicating that happiness has come. Worship dragons most, there is a saying that dragons are gods. I love the panda, a rare animal, and regard it as a national treasure and mascot. I love peony because it is elegant and magnificent, and it is a symbol of the prosperity and happiness of the Chinese nation. I love plum blossom, too. People regard it as a symbol of national unity, hard work and courage. The sign language and head language commonly used by China people are: the gesture of swinging in front, left and right (palm outward) with the right hand or left hand to indicate "no" or "no"; He often makes a fist with his right hand and raises his index finger at the same time, indicating the meaning of "praise" and "good"; Nodding and bending are often used to express "thank you"; It is often used to express the meaning of "goodbye" by raising your right arm and standing upright with your handle.

Bowing, bowing and other traditional etiquette in ancient China are still widely spread in the vast night villages and ethnic minority areas.
