When pouring wine for someone, what does it mean that the other party "knocks on the table"?It is advisable to understand so as not to make a joke
In China, baijiu has a long history and has been highly regarded and loved by people since ancient times, occupying an irreplaceable position in life.
With the continuous development of wine culture, a variety of obvious or implicit wine table culture has also emerged. For seasoned "workplace veterans", many wine table cultures have long been a tacit understanding.
However, for young people who are just starting out in the workplace, they may be ignorant of some of the subtle gestures and symbolism at the drinking party, and it is easy to get into an awkward situation without someone to guide them.
For example, when pouring wine on a wine table, the other person usually taps his fingers on the table three times, do you know what this action represents?
For newcomers in the workplace who are not familiar with the wine table culture, they may think that the other party is impolite, and some of them may even express their dissatisfaction on the spot, but in fact, the other party is just expressing gratitude.
This gesture is commonly known as the "finger bowing", which originated in the ancient clasp bow and was first seen during the Qing Dynasty, although it was not widely passed down later, so many people do not know much about its meaning.
After understanding the meaning of "finger bowing", how to use it correctly in the wine party?The following are three examples of situations, I hope you can understand clearly and avoid embarrassment in the drinking party.
1. The younger generation "bows" to the elders
At the wine table, there are occasional cases where the elders pour wine for themselves, and as the juniors, you should respond immediately. When you don't know how to say it, you can use a finger bow. In this case, the correct bow is to make a fist and tap the table three times to indicate "3 buckles" to show respect for the elders. After the finger bow, remember to hold the cup in both hands as a further expression of gratitude and respect.
2. The elders bow to the juniors
In the family banquet during the New Year's holidays, it is common for the younger generation to toast the elders. As an elder, the correct finger bow is to extend your index or middle finger and tap the table three times to show appreciation and recognition for the junior.
3. "Bow to each other".
In peer socialization, when a friend or relative pours you a drink, the correct gesture is to bring your index and middle fingers together and tap three times on the table at the same time, similar to a fist clasp with both hands.
