In military salute, unarmed salute is all five fingers. The palm of your right hand stands upright at attention, and your middle finger touches your brow slightly. Scouts salute with three fingers, stand at attention, palms flat, and touch eyebrows slightly with the "outer" middle finger. Some people interpret these three fingers as three dads or three promises;
There is nothing wrong with the boy scouts in China, but it is more correct to say that being close to your index finger is responsible for yourself; The middle finger pointing upwards represents being responsible to God; The outward ring finger represents the responsibility to others or society. Holding the little finger with the thumb can not only prevent the little finger from sticking up, but also represent the meaning of helping the small and the weak.
The scout's two-finger ceremony originated from the jungle anecdote, which represents the wolf's ears, not which one is lacking in wisdom, benevolence and courage; The difference between a cub scout and a cub scout is that the two fingers of the cub scout are open, while the cub scout is closed. But abroad, boy scouts or young people use the three-finger ceremony instead of the two-finger ceremony.
If you just salute (such as raising the national flag at school or in the army, etc.) ), or give priority to with five fingers ceremony; If you wear a scout uniform, you should pay a three-finger salute between scouts and during scout activities or gatherings.

Handshaking refers to the etiquette behavior of two people holding hands with each other in communication occasions, which is the most used form of communication etiquette in communication occasions. It originated from primitive hunting and war. People hold sticks to prevent accidents. If strangers meet without malice, they will touch their palms to show that they are unarmed, which gradually evolved into today's handshake ceremony.
Handshake pays attention to methods. When shaking hands, stand about one step away from the recipient, stand at attention with your feet, put your legs together or spread your toes in a figure of eight, lean your upper body forward slightly, bend your elbow slightly and lift it to your waist, look at the other person's right hand, put your fingers together, open your thumb to shake hands with the other person once, and release it after the ceremony.
When shaking hands with people, you should smile, look directly into each other's eyes, and appear focused, enthusiastic, friendly and natural. It is impolite to shake hands with the receiver too far or too close, especially don't put the other person's hand near his body. When shaking hands, you can only swing up and down, not left and right.
