As people's living standards continue to improve, people are now becoming more and more keen on outbound travel , going to different countries, enjoying different beautiful scenery, and feeling different customs and customs.
Japan, because it is geographically close to my country and has a pretty good scenery, has also become the choice of many travel enthusiasts.
When traveling in Japan, you may encounter many different cultural customs, such as in the expression of gestures, there are many different things from us.
For example, from one to nine numbers, we only need one hand to accurately express the meaning of the numbers, but the Japanese need to use two hands to put them together to express the meaning.
For example, if you praise others in China, you will give the other party a thumbs up. In Japanese culture, in addition to expressing praise, the thumbs up also represents the meaning of a man, and extending the little finger represents the female .
For example, two good friends get together, If you want to ask the other party if you have a girlfriend, you can stretch out your little finger so that the other party can understand. However, it should be noted that this gesture is very uncivilized, so it cannot be used in public places, otherwise it will be considered that people do not respect the other party enough.
If you are a friend who often travels to Japan, I don’t know if you have encountered this situation. In a store or shopping on the street, will sakura girls quietly bent their index fingers to you. Many people don’t understand what this means, because the way they bend their index fingers looks like we express the number 9. But we just mentioned that the way Japanese express 9 is different from ours, so what does bend index finger mean?
In fact, this is very likely that they are quietly suggesting something to you, and you must be extra careful in the next time, otherwise you may encounter trouble!
Xiaoli is a second-dimensional enthusiast. This time, she took advantage of the holiday to travel to Japan with her best friend. They visited many places, enjoyed the beautiful cherry blossoms, and also saw the Mount Fuji in Japan. Finally, she came to Akihabara , which is called the Japanese shopping paradise.
There are crowds of people here, and there are shops and convenience stores everywhere. Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the street, Xiaoli and her best friend quickly joined the shopping queue. However, just as she was concentrating on shopping, she suddenly saw someone in the convenience store quietly bent her index finger at them.
At first, Xiaoli didn't care and thought it was just a strange way of greeting, but Xiaoli didn't know him, so why did he say hello to herself? After considering it, Xiaoli was worried that the man had any bad ideas just now, so she took her best friend to another place until she couldn't see the man just now.
However, when they were shopping and were about to leave, they heard someone shouting that their wallet had been stolen. Xiaoli became alert and took a look at her wallet and found that it was still on her body. The person who lost her wallet was near where she had just left.
Later, Xiaoli looked for the man who made the gesture in the store, but the man had already left the store, so she had to ask others for advice. It was not until they went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner that they realized that turned out that the Japanese meant that there was a thief .
Therefore, if you are traveling in Japan and someone bends your index finger towards you, then you must pay attention to your surroundings, take good care of your personal belongings, and avoid being "paid" by thieves.
Maybe someone will ask, if someone finds a thief, why don’t he shout it out directly, but make a gesture quietly? If others don’t understand the meaning of gestures or don’t see them, wouldn’t it let the thief succeed? In fact, these are due to cultural differences. In Japan, there are few people who have thieves directly on the street and will not come close to you to remind you. is just reminding you in a faraway place. Doing this is also their living habits .
In addition, there are some gestures in Japan that express different meanings. For example, when we want to express money, we use our thumb to rub our index finger and middle finger back and forth to simulate the movements when counting money. In Japan, uses the thumb and index finger to form a circle, and the palm of our palms are facing up to represent .
Or, when Japanese people express "yes" and "no", it is different from our habits. We are used to nodding and shaking our heads to express it, while they raise their hands and turn around a circle on their heads to express "yes", and cross their hands in front of them to express "no" .
Of course, the culture, customs, habits, etc. of each country are different. If you decide to travel to certain places, you must first understand the local traditions and habits. In addition to these, do you also understand the Japanese customs and habits?
In Japan, when you see Sakura Girl comparing this gesture to you, hurry up and go
travel in Japan. If Sakura Girl bends index finger to you, don’t ask anything, hurry up and go
