As the saying goes, "three words of warm winter, bad words hurt June cold."

Polite language is a good example.

Polite language plays a very important role in public relations activities.



Greeting expressions



Greeting is a kind of communication relationship between greeting people and greeting people.

It's impolite to pretend that you don't listen to someone you know, or if someone says hello to you.

Greeting happens in an instant, but it has a long history.

Here are some greetings.



"Have you eaten yet?"



This is a relatively long and commonly used greeting language in Chinese history.

In the long feudal society of China, most workers seek to have enough to eat.

Therefore, asking the other person to eat is a concern for each other.



With the improvement of the living standards of our people, the problem of eating has been solved. However, the greeting of "eating without" has been handed down.

But now, this greeting basically has no original meaning.

It only becomes a form, no longer contains the original content.

Ask, "have you eaten?"

It's just a greeting, which means, "I saw you and greeted you."

It doesn't matter whether the other person really eats or eats.

Therefore, in the economically developed areas, "have you eaten?"

Questions were gradually replaced by new greetings.



"What are you going to do?"



This is also a relatively primitive greeting language, passing by with each other, in order to show that we see each other, using this language instead of all languages.

It doesn't matter what the other person is doing, it means a greeting.

In western developed countries, there is basically no such greeting, because "what to do" is a private matter, and they do not want others to interfere too much in their private affairs.

This greeting appears in China and reflects a state of state of the state. With the development of the economy, this sentence will be gradually replaced by the new greeting.



"Where did you get rich?"



This is a question that China has just come up in recent years.

In the long history of China, the concept of "a gentleman is more important than justice" has been deeply rooted in people's minds. However, with the deepening and reform of China's reform and opening up, "profit" has become more and more valued by people. The policy of "allowing some people to get rich first" has urged the whole nation to get rich and to bless each other with "wealth".

Therefore, this greeting reflects truthfully the cultural psychology of the rich from the top to the bottom, and reflects the higher pursuit of the people after getting food and clothing, which is a historical progress.



"How are you?"



This greeting is concise and clear, versatile, and a blessing to others. Therefore, this sentence often appears in an open society with developed economy, frequent contacts among different social groups and relatively loose interpersonal relationships.

Especially in some cities, with the quickening of the pace of life, everyone is rushing to and fro. The old conversation type greetings are no longer applicable. When they meet each other, a lively rhythm of "hello" is accompanied by a smile and nodding.

Therefore, this is a new greeting that comes into being with the development of the times.



In addition, on some specific occasions, such as being far away from speaking, or having a relatively general relationship, it is a greeting to smile or nod.
