• Do You Know How To Shake Hands?
• In our daily human communication, greetings
  between each other is primarily necessary.  The
  differences between cultures and customs cause
  the differences between the courtesies in
  greeting, which colors the customs in greeting,
  such as nodding, bowing, hands-folding, hugging
  and handshaking, and among these, handshaking is
  regarded as a universal language in greetings.
  Then what shall we notice while shaking hands
  with others, since it is a regular courtesy in
  our social life.
•   Firstly, we must use right hands to shake. 
  If you have something to do with your right
  hands, you should explain to him or her, or
  nodding to say sorry while showing your hands to
  him or her, and getting the forgiveness. If you
  are wearing a glove, you should take it off,
  putting it down or holding it, and shake hands
  with him or her.  But the requirements can be
  lowered when it comes to woman when a lady 
  takes off her glove, it means she respects
  especially, but a lady must take the glove off
  while shaking hands with the seniors.
•   Secondly, we should pay attention to the
  orders. Who should hand first while shaking
  hands? The seniors, the ladies and the teachers
  should give hands to the juniors, the men and the
  students. If two couples meet with each other,
  ladies greet each other first, then the husbands
  greet other's wives, and the greetings between
  men comes last.  While the guests pay a visit,
  generally, the hosts hand first and while saying
  goodbye, the guests hand first, meaning 'don't
  bother to see me out'.
•   Thirdly, we should assure our hands are clean
  while shaking hands.  Your hands should be clean
  while you are shaking hands with others if not,
  others will hesitate whether to shake or not,
  which will leave them a bad impression on you. 
  If you are doing a dusty jobs, you should wash
  your hands first and shake hands.
• Fourthly, we should respect others while shaking
  hands. While you shake hands with others, you
  should be warm, with a smile, looking into
  others' eyes, and according to different
  occasions, greeting while handshaking. Bow your
  body a little while shaking hands to show your
  respect use proper force and last a while, at
  least, make sure that the camera can take this
  moment into photos.  Don't be powerless or just a
  second shake hands completely, and don't get
  your hand back when you just shake hands for a
  second. If you give your hand with your heart,
  you will pass a warm feeling to the others, then
  the friendship will come out at this moment.
