Bowing originated in China. In Shang dynasty, there was a ceremony to worship heaven, that is, to worship cows and sheep. Instead of cutting them into pieces, the whole body is bent into a circular bow, and then sacrificed in the sacrificial place to express the reverence and piety of the worshippers. This custom has been handed down in some places. In real life, people gradually use this form to express their respect for people with high status or elders.
