China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies. Here is an interesting story that shows this. Once upon a time, a man   36  on a long trip to visit his friend and took a swan as a gift. But the swan   37  from its cage on the way and when he tried to   38   it, he got hold of nothing but a   39 . Instead of returning home, he continued his    40  taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this   41  gift, he was deeply moved. And the   42  ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was   43  far and wide.
Chinese used to   44  one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This      45  has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is   46  used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and   47  on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a   48  position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants.   49  at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting.
It is mon social practice to   50  the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk   51   a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or    52  are a good choice to break the ice. With a   53 , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes   54 . Similar to Western customs, you should be   55  in asking a woman private questions. However, talking about her job or family life will never put you into danger.
