Meeting and Greeting
Greetings are formal and the oldest person in a group is always greeted first.
Handshakes are the most common form of greeting with foreigners.
Many Taiwanese look towards the ground as a sign of respect when greeting someone.
You need not follow their example as they understand that westerners tend to smile warmly when introduced.
Most greetings include the rhetorical question, "Have you eaten?"
The Chinese traditionally have 3 names. The surname, or family name is first and is followed by one or two personal names.
Chinese women do not change their names when they marry other Chinese, and the children’s last name will generally follow that of the father.
Often their personal names have some poetic or otherwise significant meaning, so asking about the meaning is a good way to break the ice.
When you are first meeting a person, address the person by their academic, professional, or honorific title and their surname.
If those you are meeting want to move to a first name basis, they will advise you which name to use.
Some Chinese adopt more western names in business and may ask you to call them by that name.
