The handshake occurred earliest in the age of "slash and burn". At that time, when hunting and war, people often held stones or sticks and other weapons in their hands. When they meet strangers, if they are not malicious, they should put down their hands and extend their palms, so that they can touch their palms and show that there is no hidden weapon in their hands.

Handshake is a form of etiquette for expressing affection and compliments when meeting, parting, congratulating or thanking each other.

First, the order of shaking hands: the host, elders, superiors and women extend their hands, and the guests, juniors, subordinates and men greet each other again.

Two, the way to shake hands:

1, be sure to shake hands with your right hand.

2, to hold hands tightly, the time usually takes 1~3 seconds. Of course, it's impolite to shake hands too tightly, or to touch each other's hands carelessly with only the fingers.

3, after being introduced, it is best not to immediately stretch out your hand. When the young and the low-ranking are introduced to the old and the high-ranking, they should act according to the reaction of the old and the high-ranking. That is to say, when the old and the high-ranking use nodding to salute instead of shaking hands, the young and the low-ranking should also nod to salute. Shake hands with young women or foreign women. Generally, men should not reach out first.

4, when shaking hands, young people should be slightly less responsible for senior citizens and low posts. Sometimes, to show special respect, you can hold hands with both hands. When a man shook hands with a lady, he should gently hold his finger position. Men should shake off their handshakes and avoid wearing gloves to shake hands.

5. When you shake hands, you should look at each other, smile, greet or say hello, while many people shake hands at the same time.

6, it is rude to refuse to ask for permission to shake hands in any circumstances. But when you have water or unclean hands, you should decline to shake hands, and you must explain and apologize.

7, shake hands should first pay attention to the order of reaching out. When shaking hands with a lady, a man must wait for a woman to reach her hand first and then hold it. If a woman does not extend her hand or shake hands, the man will bow and greet her, instead of taking the initiative to hold the woman's hand. When shaking hands with the elders, the young usually wait for the elderly to stretch out their hands and hold them first. When shaking hands with the superiors, the subordinates should wait for their superiors to stretch out their hands before moving forward to shake hands. In addition, when receiving visitors, the host has the obligation to extend his hand to the guests to welcome them. When the guests are sent off, the host should also shake hands to welcome him again.

8, shake hands must be right-handed, this is customary courtesy. In some Southeast Asian countries, such as India and Indonesia, people do not use their left hand to contact others because they think the left hand is used for bathing and going to the bathroom. If you shake hands with your hands, you should wait for both hands to hold your right hand and then put your left hand on the right hand of the other person. This is also a handshake etiquette often used to show more kindness and respect for each other.

9., while shaking hands, we must look at each other and be sincere and cordial. If it is a general relationship or a general situation, the two sides can shake hands with a slight grip, and the time is usually 2 to 5 seconds. If the relationship is close and the field is heavy, the two sides should shake their hands up and down a few times to show their enthusiasm. If a man shook hands with a lady, he usually held the finger part of the woman lightly, so it was not appropriate to hold it too tightly for too long.

10, if you wear gloves, you must take off your gloves before shaking hands. If it is too late to take off, explain the reason to the other side and apologize. But at a grand party, if women wear evening gowns and wear long gloves, they do not need to take off.

11, although handshaking is a simple action, it runs through all links of people's contacts and social activities. Therefore, we must not neglect the above mentioned handshake etiquette.
