Radushi is a worthy meeting of the guests

The planet Earth is inhabited by many peoples, and each has its own characteristics and unique traditions. Often researchers and ethnographers say such phrases as "cordial welcome", "hospitable people", "hospitable people". All these words, in principle, mean one thing - cordiality.

Cheerfulness is the meaning of the word

If you had to meet guests, relatives and close people in your own house or invite them to a celebration, say, an anniversary or a memorable date, did you meet them joyfully, with a desire to surprise and thank you for the decision to come? Cordiality is and is a heartfelt gratitude and joy from the meeting!

To properly describe your feelings and feelings, it is worth knowing the full meaning of this word. In the Russian language "cordiality" has one meaning: affectionate, friendly, sincere acceptance of guests in the house or help to relatives (and sometimes strangers) in a difficult situation.

Reception of guests in the modern world

In the 21st century, cordiality is more a general concept than a real thing. Few can boast of a willingness to accept anyone in their home: "feed, drink and sleep to bed." More often than not, society tries to isolate itself from the problems and needs of others.

In the order of Ancient Rus there was an unspoken rule: to take in your home any traveler, to accuse him as a member of the family, and for this the good spirits protected and helped to increase the wealth of the family.

Morals have changed over time. The population of large cities most often depends on the economic question: the cost of products, utilities, etc. Now, the inhabitants of agricultural areas can boast of hospitality, where most often they use products of their own making.

Even you, possibly meeting two different people, used two kinds of cordiality: one is the present, coming from the heart; The other is forced, suffered. The second type - is gazdushnichanie (meaning pretense, forced hospitality).

But there are exceptions. Many nations have unspoken rules for meeting guests and their welcome reception.

Hospitality of different peoples

If on arrival in China you will be slapped at a meeting - this means that you are a welcome, respected guest in this house. But in the Netherlands do not expect to be invited to visit more than once every six months.

In Australia and Norway, an invitation to go home is considered uncultured. All meetings, celebrations of anniversaries and memorable dates take place in restaurants, clubs or bars. There, guests can not only spend fun time playing cards or billiards, bowling, but also pay their own order.

In African tribes, cordiality is to allow a visitor to choose for himself a convenient place, and the owners respect his choice, sitting next to him in a semicircle. Americans are very punctual. Having received the first invitation, be sure to dress strictly, but simply. Jeans, shorts will not work.

For the Greeks, the kindness is to give the guest something that he so eagerly extols. And the owner will have to do it, even if you like a work of art worth the fabulous money. Therefore, it is worth considering before you admire the vases, pictures or car.

Well, cordiality for different peoples has different meanings, and it's not necessarily bread and salt and a red carpet.
