About The Various Ways To Salute

  
The staff of the Olympic Games often deal with guests from all over the world, so they should understand the customs of Western etiquette to avoid mistakes. Westerners generally show great enthusiasm for people they meet for the first time. In addition to shaking hands with each other, there may also be hugs and kisses on the cheek. Easterners bow and stare in addition to shaking hands. In short, sincerity is the most important regardless of the way.

Shake hands: shake hands
When giving a hand salute, the two sides are about an arm away from each other, stretch out their right hands, put their fingers together, slightly open their thumbs, and shake each other up and down to show friendliness, and slightly lean over with a smile. When saluting, eyes should be fixed on the other party. When shaking hands, one hand or two hands can be used, full or half. It should be noted that between leaders and subordinates, between elders and younger generations, between hosts and guests, and between women and men, unless leaders, elders, hosts, and women first extend their hands to shake hands, they should not extend their hands first. At this time, they can bow or stare.

Eyecatching gift: When two people meet, they should pay attention. The requirement of the eye-catching ceremony is that when the other person speaks, he should look at the other person with two eyes, which is also a sign of self-confidence.

Nodding salute: when acquaintances greet each other or both are on the way, nodding salute is acceptable. The elders can nod their heads to the younger generation, the superiors to the subordinates, and the teachers to the students. When nodding, you should smile. When a man wears a hat, he should first take off his hat with his right hand and then nod. It is not appropriate for a soldier to nod his head when he is wearing a military uniform, but if he is not wearing a military cap, he can nod his head.

Bow: This is one of the most formal ceremonies. When you salute, you must stand at attention first, look at the recipient, tilt your upper body 45 degrees, and resume the standing at attention after the ceremony.

Raise hands: The main point of raising hands is that the saluter and the recipient should be about 6 to 8 steps apart, raise the right hand, bend the forearm upward, keep the upper arm at the same height as the shoulder, stretch the five fingers together, with the middle finger and index finger leaning lightly against the brim of the hat or near the tip of the eyebrow, with the palm slightly outward, and adopt a standing up and eye-catching posture.
