What are some customs and traditions of china?

Answer 1

There are many different customs and traditions in Chinese culture. Some of which are listed below:

When you enter your house or another persons house, you immediately remove your shoes and put on slippers. Inside a Chinese persons house, you will see many pairs of shoes by the door.

If you have left school and are out in the workforce, it is customary to give your parents money on holidays and special occasions, especially Chinese New Year. This is to repay your parents for all they did for you as a child. Many Chinese are very big on something called "filial piety" or "love of family".

Many Chinese have an almost religious respect for their ancestors. During one time of the year, it is customary to clean your ancestors' graves.

Many of the things that Westerners consider rude are considered normal in China. Slurping your soup from the bowl is acceptable, as is smacking your food while you eat.

If you are out having dinner, you should always leave some food on the plate when you finish eating. If you clean your plate in China, it is means that you did not have enough food to eat, and you need more.

Colors have a huge significance in China. The color Yellow is supposed to be for the emperor, while the color red is supposed to be lucky.

The Chinese word for number 4 sounds similar to the word for death. So, most buildings skip the 4th floor. It goes from the third floor to the fifth.
