Greeting expresses in language a communication relationship between the person greeting and the person being greeted. If you greet an acquaintance or someone else greets you, and you pretend not to notice, it is considered impolite.

1. "Have you eaten?"

This is a relatively common greeting in Chinese history. "Food is the first necessity for the people." In China's long feudal society, most people's labor is to have a full stomach. Therefore, asking the other person if they have eaten is a kind of concern from the other person.

With the improvement of the living standards of our people, the problem of eating has been solved. However, the greeting "Have you eaten?" has been passed down. However, the current greeting basically has no original meaning. It is just a form and no longer contains the original content. Asking "Have you eaten?" is simply a greeting, which means "I saw you and wanted to say hello to you." As for whether the other party really muddles through the meal or not, it doesn't matter. is irrelevant. Therefore, in economically developed areas, the question "Have you eaten?" is gradually replaced by new greetings.

When using this saved greeting, pay special attention to the occasion. Saying hello in the bathroom seems extremely poor in language and makes each other awkward.

2. "What are you doing?"

This is also a relatively primitive greeting. When you pass by the other person, in order to show that you have seen the other person, this word replaces all other languages. It doesn't matter what the other party does, it's just a greeting. In Western developed countries, there is basically no such greeting, because "what you do" is an individual's privacy, and they do not want others to interfere too much in their private affairs. The appearance of this greeting in China also reflects the mentality of the Chinese people. With the development of the economy, this greeting will gradually be replaced by new greetings.

3． "Where did you get rich?"

This is a question that has only become popular in China in recent years. In China's long history, the concept of "a gentleman values ??righteousness more than profit" has been deeply ingrained in people's minds. However, with the progress and deepening of China's reform and opening up, "profit" is increasingly valued by people, and "some people are allowed to get rich first." "The policy encourages people across the country to strive for prosperity and bless each other with "prosperity." Therefore, this greeting truly reflects the cultural psychology of economic-centered pursuit of prosperity from top to bottom in recent years. It reflects the higher pursuit of the people after they first get enough food and clothing. It is a kind of historical progress.

4． "Are you busy during this time?"

Since the reform and opening up, the pace of our lives has been accelerating, and we are all busy and rushing for career, money, and life.

For a long time, people like to greet alumni and colleagues, especially those of the same age, with "Are you busy these days?" I feel that this greeting not only reflects the mutual care between friends, but also seems very elegant and decent. The person asking the question does not have a substantive understanding of whether the other person is busy at work, but the greeting is more important. If the other party answers "very busy", it would be rude for the person asking the question not to ask "what are you busy with".

5. "Hello"

This greeting is concise, clear, and highly versatile. It is also a blessing to others. Therefore, this sentence has been often used after liberation, and now it often appears in economic development. In an open society where different social groups interact frequently and interpersonal relationships are relatively loose, especially in some cities, as the pace of life accelerates, everyone comes and goes in a hurry, and the previous conversational greetings are no longer applicable. It is extremely polite to say "hello" in a lively rhythm when meeting each other, accompanied by a smile, nod and other greetings. Therefore, this is a new type of greeting that has emerged with the development of the times.
