Nowadays, people usually shake hands when they meet each other. In fact,handshaking was introduced to our country around 100 years ago. Do the Chinese always greet others like this?
There were several kinds of greetings in ancient China. Among them the fist-and-palm salute(拱手礼)was a quite common one,with a history of about 3,000 years. It was first used by people in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would tend to prepare for a fight if they had to, and hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding out both hands showed that it was not a fight and people could feel relaxed.
When people meet,men usually use their left hand to hold the right one. It's said that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history. While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist-and-palm salute, they should put their right hand on the top. When someone presents the fist-and-palm salute to you,you are supposed to do it back as well.
In many wuxia or kung fu TV series and movies,people greet each other with the hold-fist salute, or baoquan li in Chinese. The gesture is that the right hand is made a fist while the left hand is to cover the right fist. It's similar to the fist-and-palm salute,but they are different. Baoquan li is widely used among kung fu masters and students. So don't make a mistake.
