D
Since the Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC—256 BC), a complete etiquette system has been set. Today, many of these rules are not as strict as before. However, some are still followed on important occasions and are regarded as good examples of good manners.
Walking Etiquette
① In ancient China, while walking with someone with higher status or an old person, one should lower the head, bend down, and walk a little bit behind them. If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle. One should bow down and walk fast using smaller steps when passing by an elder or a teacher.

Sitting Etiquette and Seating Rules
② Everyone should be sitting in a proper position at dining tables. It is based on their titles, ranks, or age. If someone doesn't know the exact position, they should wait and follow the host's lead. The best seat is the one that faces the east or the door. Hosts usually sit facing the west.

Bow, and Fist-and-Palm Salute
③ Bow, in Chinese Yi Li or Zuo Yi, means having their hands folded in front in different ways. Today,however, the simplest Zuo Yi gesture is good enough, as well as nodding, smiling, and handshaking.

④ The Fist-and-Palm Salute, is another type of Yi Li,with the fist's right hand covered by the left hand. It first appeared in the army when people held weapons while showing respect to others. So, people always use the left hand to cover the right hand that holds weapons.
