Coming to Afghanistan for a long time, the biggest feeling is that Afghans pay attention to etiquette, very familiar people meet, farewell is also a set of cumbersome etiquette, not too troublesome, Afghans salute a lot of actions: in addition to the general general handshake, there are hugs, veneers (I observe it seems to be only pasted on the right face), jaw (right hand on the chest nod in greeting) and so on.
Why is the title Officia Afghanistan? Because I think the veneer ceremony is a very Afghan national etiquette, very representative. I think that the greeting reflects a unique custom or culture of a nation or country, can give outsiders a very intuitive first impression, and can even be designated as a symbol of a national culture, such as the Japanese bow, the French kiss face.... Our Traditional Chinese is the bow of the hand holding the circle with both hands, and I think there is a deep cultural connotation in it, which can indicate that we Chinese the traditional style and principle of dealing with the inner square and the outer circle. I think it makes a lot of sense that we should not abandon this etiquette when we inherit cultural heritage by "taking its essence and removing its dross".
There are many people now think that etiquette is good for people's hearts, the form is not important, this is actually very wrong, the ancients said "there are all insides and forms outside"; modern dialectics says that the inner things must be expressed through the external form, our old ancestors have long recognized the importance of etiquette, the Zhou Dynasty began to standardize with the national system, the formulation of the "Zhou Li"; modern I think it is also necessary to emphasize the importance of etiquette, our long history of China, brilliant civilization needs various forms to reflect, The greeting ceremony is a very important form of expression, we are known as the state of etiquette, adhere to the national characteristics of the civilized connotation of the greeting gift, I think it is a very meaningful thing is very important. I am Chinese, away from home, I feel that China is so important and so kind, I hope that China will develop better and more perfectly, including all aspects. I am a small person, and I can't do anything for China's development, but I will start from my own words and deeds, strive to do better, and I can proudly say that I am Chinese. Every day I see Afghans insisting on their own veneers outside of shaking hands, thinking of our handshakes, I always have a voice in my heart, I have no impact, I just want to make my voice.
