Hi
Everyone
And welcome to the new segment
Also that's why
原来如此
Hi Ale
Hello Hi
Everyone
So in this new segment
Which is kind of
Is spend off from it means what
This is where we are going to dive deep into some of the common human behaviors that you can see today either in the world
In general or in at least western countries
And we're going to explore the origins of these behaviors
Yes
So today we're going to look at something something most most of us do want a daily basis
Shake hands
No
I don't do that on daily basis
I just politely wave okay
Because i have really sweat hds okay
It was
Was one three mine
No shake my hands
No
So 握手
Shake hands
Yes 嗯
I think in china
Shaking hands
It's perhaps more of a business social thing thing
You don't really shake hands with friends to be honest
Not really know so what we look look at is do we shake hands
Yeah
We can hug people
We can waive at people
We don't even have to do anything
We can just say hello
So what is it about shaking hands
Why do we do it
You know what
This is the first time
I ever thought about this
This is i guess the beauty of this segment
These behaviors are so common
That we take them for granted
Yes
And we don't even think about them
What exactly
And you just feel that everyone else does the same um
But in reality
They don't
It's not natural behavior
It all comes from history and tradition um from socialization
From certain origins
Precisely okay
First of all t's eestablish that shaking hands in this is a behavior
That societies used to greet someone or sometimes to show agreement like shaking hands it's a deal
Yes
So this comes from ancient times
嗯
This comes from ancient greece and rome and basically
It's a way to show that you aren't carry in a weapon
Oh
I think in ancient chinese history
We had something similar come to think of shaking hands really isn't a chinese tradition
No Yeah
Because we
We used to just bow
Or we used to just have almost like a cursey that sort of
Oh Yeah
Yeah
It's another way of greeting
People precisely
So we've been shaken hands in the west now for thousands of years
And it's basically just a way of saying
Look
I trust you
I'm unarmed here is my hand
And hold ld hand
And hold ld your hand
And you can still put weapon on your body
Though that's why you traditionally shake with the light hand
What if you are lefty most people are the light handit
So that's why you never shake with the left hand
You waste on me
Me shake with the light hand
It's basically saying
Look
This is the hands
That i used to whed weapons
Especially back in the days
When weapons basically were swords spears
When that kind of thing
Yeah
I needed to use my right hand to hold it
And now look you got my right hand
So therefore even if i'm carrying arms
I cannot use it
Yes
It's a way to show you
That i'm completely open and friendly yep
And this is also same in the middwages
So nights would shake hands to show peace
And to show that they trusted each other
Even when they're in full armeven
Even when they're full armer yep
Because they could still use their hands um by the way in the uk
You guys don't really kiss to the had extent
I mean the social kissing not like the french
The detaalians we don't do it to the same extent
And there is social kissing
But is normally for close family friends or family members
嗯
Or just friends in jamel
And also british men never kissed each other unless their game
No
They don't kiss each other in greeting
Yeah Ah
You're very very close
You would hung each other um so in business attiquate is just shaking hands
Yes
Ah ah so sometimes some people like to shake each ds so for example
If i'm with men of my parents generation
I would shake the hand um
But if it was a female friend of my parents
I would give them a kiss on the cheek
But i guess it's also
Because your parents friends they tend to be older as well
It is a way of showing respect
But it's also a sign of equality as well
嗯
So one of the big things is that
When i was a little kid and my parents friends would say
Oh
Let me shake you by the hand
But it's way of showing that you grown up
啊
That's interesting by the way
When you say shaking hands in the uk is just one hand was another hand right
Yeah
Hold the other present hand was both of your hands
No No
Gerally not some people do
But that's kind of more like a i would say more of like a medtrinan custom um we don't really do do in uk
What about holding the hand for longer as you're chatting away
That we don't do um you know me to shake a few times
And then you let go um i see one more question
Who extends the hand first
This is also something that confuses me should i initiate it or should the other person initiate
If i meet like a man in social or business context
Yeah
Generally it would be the man that's office their hand first to be perfely honest in business settings
It doesn't be matter
If
If aa man womwoman
But i would saying social settings handshaking is still seen as something that men do
Yeah I see
Let's see
I wouldn't say thelike aa acfic rule about it
But it's still got a connotation
嗯嗯
Then many cultures today shaking hands as used to start or and a meeting
Yeah
Or close the deal we shake on it
Yes
Um or to welcome someone
Yeah
Welcome to eeent exexactly it's just a nice nice way to start or finish a consation tion
So normally
If we meet some of the first time
We would shake them by the hand
Okay
And now as were coming to the end of today's episode
Let's share with you as usual let's share with you some useful phrasso relating to handshake
Like i mentioned before let's shake on it
Yes
握手成交的感觉
Let's shake on it
This is used to agree on a deal or a promise
嗯
And in many cases
If you shake someone by the hand
That means you agree to the deal
And that means you won't go back on it
嗯
We seal the deal was a hand shake
Yes
This is also why sometimes people say this is a hand shake deal
Yes
So once you should shake someone by the hand
That's it the deal has been agreed
嗯
已经握手成交了
Yeah
And is another expression
A firm handshake
Why does that remind me of donald trump that's not even firm
That's aggressive handshake
Yes
So a firm handshake in english speaking cultures is shown as a sign of hand dence
嗯
So if you shake someone by the hand very lightly
Then that seen is a little bit underconfident
But again it can also be used for aggression
As well a firm handchecake depending a whole firm
Yeah
If you seen dollar trump shaking hands is literally trying to yak the other persons
Yeah
That is
That is very very strange
That is very very weirght
But generally american handcheaes yes
They tend to be firm
Yes compared to say chinese handcheaks because for us
I think in chinese culture
If you shake other people's hands too firmly
It also is seen as aggression
Yeah
So out of respect we do it more as a formality woyeah
I would say there's also a slight difference twtween and women
So if example
A man shakes another womman's hand
It tends to be a lot firmmer
But if it's a man shaking a woman's hand
It tends to be a soft a bit lighter to extenful exprespression
To exexend a hand
To extend a hand
Like to offer a hand
Yes
To offer help for friendship
So for example
If you offer someone your hand it's a way of saying okay with friends
Let's have a good relationship
So we would also say offer the hand of friendship
And we finish off with shake hands on something yeah
What back to shake on it
Or shake hands on it
Yeah
For instance
We shall hands on the contract
So we agree
We've agreed on the contract
嗯
A hand shake means the deal was dumb
嗯
So let's shake hands on the fact
That you're not getting a race
Let's go back alright
Right and on nonote we're onna wrap up today
