中国礼仪

中国文化中，一个家庭或一个组织中最年长的人享有最多的尊敬、荣誉和尊严。对家庭女性来说，辈分的长媳比其余的媳妇和儿媳(daughter-in-law)更有权力。年轻人会称呼年长的人“爷爷”、“奶奶”、“叔叔”和“婶婶”以示尊重，即使和那个人没有血缘关系(blood lineage)。中国人坚持的一个传统就是当父母上年纪时候要一

直亲自照顾他们。

译文：

In Chinese culture, the oldest person in a family or an organization has the most respect, honor, and dignity. For family ladies, the first elder wife holds more power than the next wives and daughters-in-law. The young people will call

an older person “Ye Ye” (grandfather), “Nai Nai” (grandmother), “Shu Shu”(uncle), and “Shen Shen”(aunt) as a sign of respect even if there is not blood lineage. A tradition that Chinese people hold on to is taking care of

their parents personally when they get older.
