Customs & Etiquette 礼仪与习俗

Language teaches us how to speak —
but customs teach us how to connect.

In Chinese culture, gestures and traditions reflect kindness, respect, and harmony.
From the way we greet elders to how we share meals and gifts, etiquette reminds us that every small act can hold deep meaning.

学习语言能让我们开口说话，
学习礼仪能让我们走进人心。

在中华文化中，礼貌与习俗体现着尊重与温情。
从问候长辈，到分享餐食或赠送红包，
每一个细节，都是传递善意与感恩的方式。

熊猫老师相信，礼貌也是中文学习的一部分。
在课堂故事与活动中，孩子们可以练习问候语、情境对话，
在学习语言的同时，也学会如何表达尊重与温暖。

The word 礼 (lǐ) means more than “politeness” —
it carries the idea of kindness, respect, and balance.

By learning customs and etiquette, children don’t just learn to behave well —
they learn how to care, listen, and give.

“礼” 不只是礼貌，更是一种温柔的尊重。
学习礼仪，孩子不仅学会“怎么做”，也学会“如何关心他人”。
