Chinese Foot Washing Social Etiquette

The foot has two functions. One is for walking, the other is for washing.

In terms of the latter function, it not only means the enjoyment of the body, but also means a person's "worth" - his popularity in the society.


The main achievement of China's 5000 years of civilization is to make

Chinese?

It has become one of the most important groups in the world.

If you have money and leisure and have this hobby, Chinese people must have a way to serve you from the beginning to the foot. Each detail has its own unique techniques, each of which has its own profound skills and renovations.


  

Wash one's feet

It is one of them.

This kind of hedonic way of assembling complicated procedures such as washing and massaging feet has been popular in China in recent years.

With a little observation, one of the unique landscapes of some cities in China is that they can often see signs with feet as their calling.

The prevalence of foot washing is, of course, because it is a form of enjoyment, but the main reason is that it has become a way of human interaction, even a Chinese style.

People usually use handshakes, hugs, or even kisses to show "you see, I have no threat to you," or "we can trust each other".

Now, the clever Chinese have invented a new way. Two people lie there and show their feet without any grudges. That means, "look, I can wash your feet with you. What other business can we fail to talk about?"


In Chinese tradition, feet are usually considered to be relatively hidden and low-level parts of the body.

Under normal circumstances, people are not very good at showing it to people.

The feet of traditional Chinese people are afraid that their parents, brothers, wives and children may not be looked at for a lifetime.


Now, the old taboo is broken.


In China's latest social interaction, washing feet has become a higher etiquette than shaking hands.

It also shows that in this era of general lack of trust, how people try to build a little trust.


Therefore, if you are still a person who is generally needed by the society, you will undoubtedly include the important item of washing your feet when you come to a place and enjoy the warm reception.

Moreover, the frequency and price of being invited to wash feet and the number and number of accompanying people when they wash feet can be seen as indicators of your popularity.
