Welcome to Taiwan ,the land of apologize.
The four words that Taiwanese often talk about.It's very strange for foreigners.
A Pair of sweet to the teeth of Taiwan lovers.They know each other deeply,hold hands tightly with your fingers.Although Mr. Lin very affectionate to his fiancee Miss Young.But it's not easy to say Ilove you.Words to come to the mouth.Mr. Lin turned red.In Taiwan ,Sorry can be used to apologize or express shyness.Mr. Lin said.Many Taiwanese feel the same way.
A simple excuse me is enough to let you know the etiquette.This phrase consists of four Chinese characters.As a universal words.It can be used in various situations.Call the waiter politely.Express a deep apology to the boss.Or when you're confused and trying to tell.Taiwanese will talk about embarrassment,because Taiwanese are very polite.So when we interrupt or ask for help,will say "I'M sorry."We can even start a conversation with the excuse me.Taiwanese say sorry and speak very fast.It's sounds like the four words are almost linked together.
The western concept of sorry cannot express all social virtues.And I'm sorry to say that it's a broader social ritual.Sorry can also be an emotion ,a feeling , a code of conduct.Or the overall ideological basis of Taiwan culture.Take the MRT in Taipei.The passengers walked away cautionsly.You can hear the ups and downs,say sorry.Come into the classroom when you can hear the students' questions.Start with sorry.With a trace of guilt and gratitude.
And if you receive a gift from a ralative.The correct answer is not thank you.I'm sorry.It cost you money.For the uninformed.Taiwanese seems to be the most apologetic country in the world.
But I'm sorry about culture.It represents the modesty and shyness of Taiwanese.Taiwanese will talk about embarrassment.Because Taiwanese are very polite. We can even conversations with others with embarrassment.As you see and hear today.Taiwan's apology culture has a lot to do with decardes of Japanese colonial and Confucian moral education.Although I don't know the exact origin of embarrssment.But some linguists believe.It is mainly the product of thousands of year of Confucian harmonious thought.The core of Confucian harmonious thought is to the relationship between body and body rather than personal relationship. They think Maintaining social cohesion at all costs.It is still cornerstone of social morality in Taiwan.
In Taiwan,the interests of the family and social must be placed aboved the interests of the individual.In addition,Taiwan's culture of shame.It is also partly influenced by the sumimasen apology culture in Japan.Both of them have profound historical origins.All in all.The habit of saying sorry often prevents further escalation.The tarditional Taiwan culture is more delicate.Be more considerate of others.Try to be polite with others.Sorry culture reveals the modest and shy side of Taiwan.Sorry,it's widely used.On the one hand,it creates a culture atmosphere of obedience and emphasis on etiquette.
On the other hand,it also reflects yhe incomparable etiquette of Taiwanese.For tourists to Taiwan,this explains why I'm sorry in Chinese.It's easy to bring you to into a semantically complex follow up conversation.This culture is unique to Taiwan.It does not exist in other Chinese speaking areas.Althought you can hear one after another on the streers of Taiwan,I'm sorry.But in mainland China or Malaysia,because it doesn't respect politeness rhetoric as much as Taiwan does.I don't often fear that kind of sorry.
According to a survey of foreigners released by InterNations.Taiwan has been rated as one of the most friendly countries in the world.About 90% of the expatriates in Taiwan give a high score on the way they treat foreigners.In other regions,the average is 65%.According to the survey of more than 12500 respondents worldwide.There are now more than a third of foreigners in Taiwan is considering settling on this small Pacific island.
When it comes to Taiwan, the most impressive thing among mainland Chinese people who come to Taiwan to travel or study is that they are polite, gentle, and nice.I hope that friends from all over the world can experience Taiwan’s sorry culture in addition to traveling or tasting food in Taiwan. I believe that everyone will better appreciate the saying "The most beautiful scenery in Taiwan is people"
