握手 (wò shǒu) is the Chinese term for "handshake," a common gesture used to greet or show agreement between individuals. It involves two people grasping each other's right hand and shaking it up and down. This action is often accompanied by eye contact and a smile, signifying friendliness and respect. In many cultures, including China, a handshake is an important social custom. It is typically used in formal settings, such as business meetings or introductions. The firmness of the handshake can convey confidence, while a weak handshake may be perceived as a lack of assertiveness.
