  1. Core Daily Etiquette (Essential for Common Situations)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7 Greetings & Communication: Handshake should be firm but not too strong, make eye contact. Let elders\/superiors offer their hand first. Use titles like “Mr.\/Ms.”, “Professor\/Teacher”, or “Senior”. Don’t interrupt others.
    \u00b7 Manners & Actions: Don’t be loud in public (subway, classroom). Wait your turn in line. Give and receive items (business cards, books) with both hands. Say “Thank you” promptly when helped.
    \u00b7 Table Manners: Elders\/guests start eating first. Use serving spoons for shared food. Don’t pick through the dishes. When toasting, hold your glass lower than the other person’s. Don’t slurp food or talk with food in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Key Cultural Customs (Avoid Mistakes & Show Respect)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u00b7 Traditional Holidays: During Chinese New Year visits, say good wishes (like “Happy New Year, all the best”). Politely refuse a red envelope once before accepting. For Mid-Autumn Festival, admire the moon and eat mooncakes, emphasizing family reunion. During Tomb-Sweeping Festival, be solemn and respectful, no loud play.
      \u00b7 Social Interactions: Make an appointment before visiting classmates\/teachers. Bring a small gift (like fruit, local snacks) to show thoughtfulness. Don’t be late for gatherings. Say goodbye to the host if leaving early.
      \u00b7 Things to Avoid: Avoid the number “4” (sounds like the word for “death”). Avoid giving clocks (sounds like “end”) or pears (sounds like “separate”) as gifts. Don’t ask personal questions about age, salary, or relationship status. Don’t spit or litter in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Campus-Specific Etiquette (Fit for Student Life)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u00b7 After Class: Ask the teacher questions politely and respectfully.
