What do you mean by politeness?

The word "politeness" has multiple meanings in Chinese, including mutual humility and politeness, insinuating hypocrisy or insincerity in words and deeds, and describing exaggeration and vanity in articles or words.

"Politeness" in the context of politeness and humility refers to mutual humility and politeness. For example, in daily life, when others express their gratitude, answering "you're welcome" is a common polite response, expressing the impolite or ungrateful attitude of the other party. This usage embodies a basic etiquette in social occasions and helps to maintain good interpersonal relationships.

"Politeness" may sometimes be derogatory, implying hypocrisy or insincerity. In this case, using "courtesy" to describe a person may mean that he is not honest enough to speak and do things, and pays too much attention to the scene and surface. This usage emphasizes the opposite of truth and sincerity, and sometimes has a negative evaluation.

Politeness can also be used to describe the exaggeration and vanity of an article or text. At this time, it refers to excessive modification or boasting, which is out of touch with the actual situation. This usage emphasizes the exaggeration and unreality of words, which may produce negative impression in some contexts.
