The standard etiquette of applause is: place your hands in front of your chest and tap your left palm with your right palm, usually no less than 10 times, to express encouragement or welcome. The longer the applause lasts, the warmer and more welcome it is. Applause is a physical reaction in which two hands clap each other to express recognition and agreement.
"Applause" was called "holding palms" in ancient times, and is now called "claps". It is a physical language that expresses happiness and is an external expression of inner excitement and excitement. It is said that "emotions are moved in the heart and expressed in words; The words are insufficient, so we sing; the songs are insufficient, so we sigh; the sighs are insufficient, because we don’t know how to dance with our hands or feet.” It is impossible to verify when and where applause originated. In our country, the earliest written record of applause can be found in the article "Han Feizi: Gongming" written by Han Fei, a representative figure of the Legalists in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. The article says: "The trouble of the master lies in the lack of responses, so it is said: clapping with one hand alone, although the disease is silent.
" The implication is that only by clapping your hands together can there be a sound. Of course, its original meaning is far from the meaning of "one slap can't make a difference" that people often said later. This shows that the idea of ??applause already existed around 230 BC.
