Chinese member of Korean idol group praised for not kneeling to fans as other Korean girls did

[kankan326]

Some say this is cultural difference between China an Korea. No. Chinese used to kneel a lot. It was CCP who changed Chinese submissive and hierarchic culture. Chinese have the most independent and equal personalities. Which were never seen before. Compared with Taiwanese and Hongkongers, mainland Chinese are more outgoing and largehearted. Think again before you say Chinese are CCP's slaves.

 

[vi-va]

Chinese kowtow to heaven and earth, as well as parents only.

 

[FairAndUnbiased]

Chinese bow to no one.

Mainland Chinese women are super assertive, confident and independent. Definitely not like most of the women in other Asian countries. That is why China has 2/3rds of the world's female billionaires and 40% of companies are run by women.

These Koreans are gonna hate on her regardless of what she does anyways, they are just haters. Koreans hate everybody honestly.

I think people from all over the world, including Koreans themselves, know kowtow is a self-humiliation gesture. George Macartney, as the embassador of UK, visited China in 1792, He refused to kowtow to Qing emperor Qianlong.

The Chinese only kowtow to heaven and earth and their parents. With one exception, the Chinese can kowtow to the dead.
If he is not a Chinese's parents, he also accepted a kowtow from the Chinese, which means that the Chinese is cursing him for dying. According to Chinese custom, this is called "折寿".

To be honest, I never heard kowtow means curse. Probably it's your local tradition. In most cases, knowtowing to someone is a guesture of begging for mercy.

Kowtow is indeed an act of weakness and begging for mercy, but there is a saying in China called "受不起". I'm sure you understand what this means.

Chinese traditional philosophy holds that:
德不配位，必有栽秧<周易·系辞下>

So the ancient Chinese only kowtowed to emperors, lords, heaven and earth, teachers and parents. Modern Chinese only kowtow to heaven and earth and their parents. The only exception is the dead.
Because heaven and earth and their parents can "受得起", while the dead are not afraid of "德不配位，必有栽秧." If kowtow to "受不起" people, isn't it a curse?

Kowtow to heaven, earth, parents and dead people is a common custom in Chinese mainland. Only Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other marginal areas of Chinese culture will kowtow at will.

I'm living in north China. I saw people kowtowing to others because of saving his or his families lives. Nothing about curse.

That's because the kowtow man is begging to meet his requirements. If you save his parents' lives, it's certainly "受得起". Otherwise……
That's why most people avoid such people and kowtow to themselves.

Have you really never seen such a dodge?

 

[KampfAlwin]

You know when I heard the news somewhere, I thought it’s just the normal way of bowing - where you lean your torso forward.

But holy sh*t when I saw the gifs, you’re telling me the normal way the Koreans bow is like that of a groveling slave? Yuck! Chinese ain’t no cucks.

Interesting, Viets have the same habit. People follow Buddhism they knee before his stature. We used to knee before emperors, in today present people in traditional thinking they knee before heaven and earth, and especially a must for the kids they before parents during wedding.
The parents because they thank them for their lives.

Yes.
As I said Vietnamese and Chinese are damn the same, culturally, and by looking. Even the language have a lot in common.

Definitely kowtow to fans is silly.
