The custom of Naypyidaw

Myanmar is a country of etiquette. Buddhists in Myanmar are used to crossing their hands when meeting guests in social situations. If you wear a hat, you should take it off and put it under your left armpit, and then salute with your hands folded (when your hands are folded, you should stand on your feet and raise it to your chest). And said: "Please pay tribute!" Burmese people should bow if they meet old people, leaders and scholars who are unfamiliar or seldom meet. If you see that the above-mentioned people are familiar, you should sit down and worship. When they come to see monks, parents and teachers, they all have to give a big gift, which is the "five-body ceremony". Old people, leaders and scholars in Lu Yu usually bow and bow (shallow bow is about 20 to 30 degrees).

In the past, when visiting Burmese homes, people had to take off their shoes when they entered the door, but now this custom has gradually changed. When entering a stupa or temple, everyone should take off their shoes, even the head of state, otherwise it will be regarded as the greatest disrespect to the Buddha, and sometimes it may cause trouble. Burmese people are extremely devout to Buddha. Even if the weather is hot and the mountain road is rugged, people who worship Buddha barefoot are still in an endless stream. In the past, Burmese people worshipped cows infinitely and worshipped them as gods. It is not allowed to whip, enslave or slaughter "sacred cows". No matter where the "God Bull" goes, people will provide it with the best food. If you meet a "god cow" on the road or downtown, pedestrians and vehicles should avoid it temporarily. On holidays, Burmese people will hold cattle worship ceremonies.
