Gestures Of Nations

Language is an important communication tool for human beings.

Take Europe as an example, Italians generally agree that they are most good at body language expression. In addition to the fact that Rome culture is derived from Greek civilization, Greek civilization is closely related to drama, gestures are closely related to nationality and regionality.

In ancient Greece, drama was very popular, and it could be said to be part of the important life of the residents. Whenever the setting sun was sinking and the night fell, the crowd would naturally gather in the open-air theater. Under the stage, they would be intoxicated with the information conveyed by the actors on the stage through the form of drama, such as history, literature and Oracle.

Since the theater was all open and the audience was quite large, so far as the exquisite theater design was designed to allow the voice of the actors on the stage to be conveyed to all corners, it was also stipulated that only three actors were allowed to go to the stage at the same time, and only the actors who were speaking were strengthening their expression in body language. The rest of the actors on the stage were allowed to stand upright and not to move or move. This was to facilitate the audience sitting in the distance to recognize who was speaking.

Because Greek drama has long been dissolved into the daily life of residents, no matter what the stage words and lines and the body language that help to express are widely quoted, they naturally become the way of expression when people communicate on weekdays.

Therefore, from the Greek culture to the Greek colonial culture, and then to the Rome culture, and the influence of the Empire of Rome extended to Europe and the Middle East, North Africa, but also because of the different ethnic customs of different nationalities, the use and expression of gestures are different.

For example, the British population far away from Northwest China is rarely used.

Generally speaking, the gestures of countries in southern Europe such as Italy, Spain and West LA are frequently used and exaggerated; western and central European countries such as Germany, Britain, and the Dutch are the second; the Nordic countries far away from the north are the second ones because they hardly use gestures.

Thumb and thumb

Most of them express their appreciation for a certain sentence or event. They also express their gratitude to others for what they have done for you. They also say that they are ready. For example, when the basketball match is played, the referee will hold the ball in one hand and hold the thumbs in one hand to show that everything is ready. The game can be carried out. This is due to the large voice of the engine when the airplane driver is not ready to communicate with the ground crew. The I am ready!

Vertical middle finger

This is already a worldwide language. The meaning of its meaning is * * *, and some more rude people will add Fuck you! Three character Scripture together with gestures. In the low places such as the red light district, the local ruffian scoundrels often compare each other with each other when they argue.

The middle finger and the thumb, little finger and the other two fingers.

The expression is slightly swaying, which is the expression of men's desire to seek pleasure with women. When a man and a woman are in a private room, if the man thinks that the time is ripe, he can use this gesture to express his wish to the woman.

With the thumb pointing upward, the thumb moves towards the right side of the hand.

This is almost becoming Esperanto: hitchhiking, some more careful hitchhiker, if he uses his left hand to hold a card to go to the place name card, so that a good person can know the destination of the hitchhiker without opening his mouth.

But in Greece, such gestures are like the middle finger gestures of other countries, so if you ride in Greece, you have to switch to another gesture so that you can stop driving instead of hitchhiking.

Forefinger

If you twist your fingers on your temples and glare at each other with disdain, the meaning is: Are you crazy? Are you crazy? These gestures can be seen on the streets of Europe. For example, pedestrians cross the road at red lights, and drivers who are forced to brakes on their own will express their instincts by gesture.

If you move your fingers down to your cheeks, it means a compliment to women. It means you are charming! You are very attractive!

The forefinger shave

Scraping the chin with the index finger is like shaving. This is the unique gesture of France, especially the refusal of the female to the disliked pursuer. He can often see the beauty of the French in the coffee shop, smile and finger with her chin. It is very charming and lovely.

The original meaning of this action is boring, because in French, the razor is synonymous with boredom, so it cleverly expresses its dislike with razor.

V sign

This has long been the Esperanto, originating in the United Kingdom, because the word V represents the victory Victory in English, so V expressed the joy of victory to the people. When using this gesture, you need to carry your fingers to yourself.

But when you use this gesture in Greece, you must return your fingers to the other side, otherwise you will be insulted and despise the other side.

Because in Greece, the V word gestures represent the devil.

OK gesture

There is no doubt that this is Esperanto too. It is written in English alphabet O and K. It means no problem, ready to do everything, and I am fine, all right, thank you for your concern.

But in the southern part of France, the gesture of OK means zero, indicating that something is not worth mentioning and expresses its disapproval.

In the Middle East and northern regions, such gestures symbolize holes or holes, and have obvious homosexual implications. If someone shows you this gesture in public places such as bars, probably the gesture of looking for a mate between comrades, never return to the gesture of thumb thumbs. Do not think that he is more polite to OK than OK.

Shrug

In the most popular way, Americans are powerless, unable to do anything, and can not help, meaning that the eye movements of the colloctist and the additional action of both hands are vivid.

Thumb twist

Mockery is a gesture used by children, but it is also used by many adults.

The lower arm of the right hand is straight up, the upper arm is horizontal and the fist is clenched at the same time, and the other hand claps the right arm muscle with the left palm. This gesture is the same as the vertical middle finger, but it is more exaggerated and more obvious.

Vertical index finger

This is a gesture of attracting attention, which can be said to be the meaning of English Excuse me! Therefore, if someone raises his hand and index his finger at a meeting, he will express his opinion, which is different from that of our hands.

You can also use this gesture when calling service personnel in restaurants and other public places, but do not add finger noises. This is impolite.

Five fingers and fingers

It means that a person, usually a woman or something, or a stick of a particular food, is delicious. When kissing fingertips, it gives out sounds and exaggerated facial expressions.

Kissing

The origin of the kissing is very old. It is said that it originated from Greece. When Greeks wished to bless the gods, they usually spread their arms and arms together, and their faces were praying to the sky, and then they were thrown to the gods by kissing gesture to express their likes and devotion.

Later in sixteenth Century, it was sent to the Spanish court, and then specialized in Britain, France, Italy and other countries.

In today's St. Helen's day in Napoli, southern Italy, there will be a holy blood parade celebration. When the mountains and seas are drilled, the believers far away from the holy blood can not touch the holy bottle, but they will also express it in a kiss.

Approve of

The vast majority of countries are nodding.

But in India, Nepal and other countries, they shake their heads to show their approval. They are shaking their heads and smiling and expressing their approval and affirmation. Some people are inclined to be inclined to raise their heads in a slanting way. Some people actually call you are right! You are right! But they keep shaking their heads, often making the other party do not know their real psychology and full of suspicion.

Because the shaking is too strong, there are European jokes that Indians use fans to cool down, but also use fans to stay in front of their faces, and keep shaking their heads to cool down.

Touch forehead

This is a gesture of salute from the hat to the other person, the hand to touch the forehead to show off the hat preparation, and later evolved into a gesture even if not wearing a hat: to salute you.

This action is mostly used for other times.

Long horn gesture

With the fingers and fingers stretched and fingers clenched, it means "wearing a green hat". When people are chatting, someone is having an affair with someone, and people are making fun of this gesture, which means that you have long horns! Some pranks even hang animal horns at other people's doors to tease them.

In addition, some people who are unwilling to be insulted during the quarrel can also express their dissatisfaction and protest to the other side. Some people use this gesture as a fingerprint to exorcise evil spirits, for example, when they pass through the cemetery in the night and wilderness, they can get the peace of mind with this gesture. When they encounter the hearse, they can also protect themselves by this gesture, so as not to be possessed by the ghosts or commit murderous acts.
