Greeting etiquette

When meeting new people, people are courteous and offer hospitality. When meeting with individuals of diverse identities, there are several rules. For instance, the fist-and-palm salute is frequently employed in everyday greets since it is the most traditional protocol for introductions. (The fist-and-palm salutation is performed by first standing and displaying civility by cupping one hand in the other before the chest.)

If people are visiting another, the host and guest should ask each other to have a seat first by bowing with their hands clasped, raising and lowering their hands repeatedly, as well as lowering their heads and slightly stooping forward.

Other than on these occasions, people bow with their hands folded to express gratitude, congrats, apologize, or request help. Additionally, it occurs when members of a higher class reciprocate a gesture made by a member of a lower class. It is customary to kneel down with your hands and head touching the ground when you are addressing someone who is highly revered in the community.

Today, however, this can only be found if a person travels to a distant area around New Year's. People are accustomed to shaking hands, which is a type of etiquette used to introduce oneself that was imported from western countries.
