南亚摇头礼
在印度、巴基斯坦、孟加 拉、尼泊尔、斯里兰卡等 国,人们相互交往时,往 往彬彬有礼地摇头。他们 的表敬礼俗是:向左摇头 则表示赞同、尊重或认可; 点头则表示不同意。这恰 恰与中国的"摇头不算点头 算"相反.
African
The common way of African greeting is raising one's right hand and his palm turns towards the other one, the purpose is "I don't grip stone in my hand." It means: "no weapons." which is a symbol of friendly.
For axample, between men and women, the woman stretch hand first, if the woman does not mean to shake hands, men can only nod or bow; between the elders and young people ,the elder should lend a hand; between the superior and employees, the superior stretch hand first; between the host and guest, the host reach out to the guest first. And people should look at each other while shaking hands, and take off his or her gloves, otherwise it will be seen as impolite.
