Farewell is a sad thing, especially in ancient times when traffic and communication were inconvenient. "Goodbye" means goodbye is a distant thing, but the ancients didn't think so. They also make it very romantic and artistic. Farewell in Tang poetry, in modern fashionable terms, can be said to be a performance art.
Farewell etiquette:
Farewell etiquette is also very complicated, mainly in three aspects:
Sing a farewell song, a farewell song. Li Bai said, "When I am heartbroken in the past and present, I will never tolerate listening to music." What do you mean? It is tonight that I will break up with a friend. Singing a song of praise is worrying, and I can't bear to listen to it again.
Drink when you leave. The host invited the people who were leaving to drink, because wine has a refreshing effect. It was depressing for two people to say goodbye. Drinking can cheer them up and dispel some parting troubles.
When you say goodbye, you should fold a section of Yang Liuzhi and give it to people on the road. Why do you have to go to Yang Liuzhi? It is said that the word "Liu" of this willow is homophonic with "Liu". I give you a willow branch, which means you'd better stay.
Why did you leave in such a hurry? Sending willow branches is a way to keep guests.
Farewell songs, drinking and seeing Yang Liuzhi off are the farewell customs handed down from ancient ancestors. Today's "farewell shower" continues this custom. Although we don't sing farewell songs and don't fold Yang Liuzhi, it's still appropriate for relatives, friends, acquaintances and colleagues to set up a few tables and have a drink when we leave.
Farewell toasts and farewell speeches:
Those who don't sing farewell songs now should write a farewell toast. Whether friends go abroad, work or study in other places, or when they are about to leave after graduation, friends get together to bid farewell. Some of them are banquets hosted by the host specially for guests. Before leaving, holding a farewell banquet specially for the other party is not only warm and grand in form, but also often makes the other party feel highly valued and further deepens the friendship between host and guest.
The main contents of the farewell banquet held for the guests are: first, to say goodbye; Second, listen to the guests' opinions or suggestions; Third, know whether the guests need help; Fourth, present commemorative gifts to the guests.
No matter what kind of farewell banquet, the theme is a formal farewell. The toast at the farewell banquet should indicate the farewell unit, farewell object and farewell reason to express a warm farewell. Farewell words should be based on the principle of making the above points clear, and the words should be short and pithy, not too long. If you are seeing your colleagues off, you can simply express your new destination, the work to be done, the significance of the new job, and finally put forward your earnest hopes. This is a farewell letter.
If you are seeing the delegation off, you must pay attention to the activities of the guests during the visit, the progress made during the visit (such as exchanging views, reaching an understanding, what kind of joint communique was signed, what kind of joint statement was issued, and what cooperation was made in science, technology, trade and culture, etc.). ). Only by understanding these conditions can toast appear rich and accurate. If you are seeing off the students who are admitted to the university, you can say more words of encouragement and offer hopes and wishes. In short, the toast at the farewell party should be to the point of identity, reason, scope and sincerity.
