11. Respecting Age Chinese culture is well-known for the special value it places on respecting elders. While the rules in this regard are no longer formalized as they were in ancient times, pouring a drink or holding a door (or lighting a cigarette) for a person of an older generation will always win high approval. When meeting a group of people, it's nice to greet the eldest person first.
