Shaking HandsShaking hands is acceptable universally in English and Chinese culture and has a wide variety of connotations to refer to not only wele and congratulation but also lament and fort. At the same time, there are some differences in habits between Chinese and AngloAmerican in shaking hands. British and American people, when having a meeting, will shake hands, shaking vertical slightly once or twice and loose in a jiffy which is just a ceremony. It can be considered suitable that an appropriate act to look at guest’s face and to keep eye contact while shaking hands. Howbeit Chinese shake hands with AngloAmerican, Chinese always feel shaking too heavy, however, British and American feel the Chinese not sincere enough by shaking lightly. From time to time, when Chinese host shakes hands with visitors from abroad, they don’t loose hands at once instead they will fasten on the hands straightly, making the foreigner feel embarrassed. Besides, they think that holding hands tight without loosing has nothing to do with shaking hands and is frequently thought as a taboo. Taboos of PostureIt can be disparate by culture when people talking with each other by which type of posture, such as how to stand or sit. Every posture in a specific district and different culture will deliver special information and from these postures people can clearly see the status or the degree of relationship while municating with each other. SittingIn the western country, a standing person is an older or in a higher position in the pany plays a role of dominator than the sitting one during the conversation in general and while in china, the boot is on the other foot (Hu, 1995). Generally speaking, junior or zilch standing for the ceremony to listen with cap in hand is in a passive position, yet the seniority and the higherup are always sitting when talking and are the king of a conversation (Hu, 1995).Sitting also represent different behaviors in diverse of cultures. The American man like sitting a posture in number four of Arabic numerals which refer to one leg crosses on the other and the tip of the toe toward the next one. It is still hard to accept by the elder in China to sit in this crosslegged because they think it shows no respect to people with whom you are talking. Meanwhile, in some occasions in west, ladies may make a misunderstanding easily due to her subconsciously casual posture which shows them a seductive hint when sitting with men. For instance, most men regard sitting with her legs crossed of a woman as the most lecherous posture of sitting. Moreover, to sit in a posture in number four of Arabic numerals and the knee pointing to someone may not only be an eased and relaxed sitting but a joking of journal of sexual behavior. Sometimes, some Chinese madams lift the hem of their shirt unwittingly it can lead to the result of that misunderstanding. Furthermore, a woman folds leg crosswise slowly and open again or touch thigh lightly also deemed as a teasing act of sexual behavior from time to time. In addition, in order to relax the feet in the highheel shoe, ladies take off them and play shoes in most cases but some act that feet is in and out of shoes, to and fro, giving others a suggestion of sexual act.
