Standing is a basic behavior in people's life. The ancients demanded to "stand upright as a pine", that is, to stand dignified and dignified like a tall and straight pine tree, showing a kind of natural beauty.
People often stand in life. When standing, you should keep your head straight and neck straight, your eyes look straight ahead, your lips are slightly closed, your abdomen is slightly retracted, you should hold your chest out, your shoulders are horizontal, your arms are naturally drooping, your fingers are naturally slightly flexed together, your left and right middle fingers are pressed between your left and right pants, your legs and knees are straight, your lower body is naturally tall and straight, your heels are close together, your toes are open at a 45 angle, and your body center of gravity falls between your feet. After standing, stand upright, that is, the human body with the nose as the center line should be roughly in a straight line; Looking horizontally, you should have a sense of openness, that is, your limbs and figure should give people a feeling of stretching; From the side, there should be a sense of verticality, that is, from the junction of the ear and the neck to the front of the ankle bone of the foot, it should be generally in a straight line, giving people a stiff, straight and high aesthetic feeling.
Men and women stand slightly differently, forming different images. When a person stands, his body center of gravity is placed between his feet, neither to the left nor to the right; Stand with your feet shoulder width apart; Hands can droop naturally, and if necessary, one hand or both hands can be crossed behind the body. Men should stand handsome, free and easy, tall and straight, refreshed. When a woman stands, her body center of gravity is at the front end of the arch between her feet, and her feet stand in a V shape. Hands droop naturally or cross back and forth. Women should be generous, kind and elegant in beauty and elegance, showing the image of a virtuous lady.
When standing, you should overcome the unsightly standing posture, including hunching over, leaning against a wall or post, shaking from side to side, tilting your head and neck, bending your legs with your hips, crossing your feet, standing on your hips, etc. Indecent posture gives people the impression that they are lazy, light, tired and unhealthy, which is detrimental to the communication image.
Second, sitting posture
Sit in a sitting position. The ancients said that "sitting like a clock" means sitting up. When you sit down, you should stand tall and straight, natural and graceful, dignified and steady. A person's normal sitting posture, without support at the back, should be that his upper body is upright, leaning forward slightly, his head is straight, his arms are naturally close to his body, his hands are placed on his legs at will, the distance between his legs is roughly equal to his shoulder width, and his feet naturally land. When your back leans, gently touch the backrest, but don't lean back. In formal social occasions, or when there are elders present, you should "sit tight", with your hips only 2/3 of the chair, and your upper body at right angles to your thighs, thighs and calves. Don't lean your head on the back of the sofa at will and look lazy. After sitting down, don't shake your legs or cross your legs. When there is no cover in front of the seat, the man's feet should not exceed the shoulder width; Women's feet should be close together, especially when wearing skirts. People all over the world say that women stand with their legs apart, sit with their legs apart and squat with their legs apart, which are "three ungainly moves" and should be avoided.
When sitting, you should overcome the unsightly sitting posture, including half lying and half sitting, leaning forward and backward, crooked, legs straight up or too separated, legs crossed and trembling, hands sandwiched between thighs or under thighs, feet hooked on chair legs, feet placed on sofa armrests and so on. An indecent sitting posture gives people the impression of being frivolous and lacking in self-cultivation, and it is a rude and indecent behavior. Sitting on the sofa in a lazy posture is also unsightly. The most impolite gesture is to lift the leg tube when you sit down with your legs bent, revealing a piece of leg meat.
Third, posture
Outdoor walking is an outdoor activity that people do every day. In addition to standing and sitting, the ancients also demanded "walking like the wind". This means walking with ease and beauty.
On various occasions, we should strive to "walk like the wind", that is, walk correctly, gracefully, lightly and rhythmically. This is the most basic requirement of walking posture.
A normal walking posture should be upright, with head held high, abdomen straight, eyes looking straight ahead, shoulders flat, arms swinging back and forth naturally, toes protruding slightly outward or straight forward, legs taking a step forward alternately and rhythmically, and roughly walking in a straight line with the same width. Walk lightly and swing your arms naturally with your body. It is unsightly to lean forward and lean back, sway from side to side, or walk with your feet in a figure of eight at the same time. When walking, there are still some differences in the requirements for men and women: men are required to walk vigorously and unhurriedly, showing heroic beauty. Women are required to walk lightly and elegantly, with moderate pace and unhurried, showing a gentle and vigorous female beauty. When walking, you should overcome the unsightly walking posture, including unstable center of gravity, hunching, swinging from side to side, dragging your feet, putting your hands behind your back, putting your pockets, elbows on the ground, akimbo, creaking slippers and so on. Indecent walking posture destroys the sense of balance, symmetry, harmony and indecency.
