Have you ever wondered about the origin of handshakes? You might be interested to know that the very nature of the handshake was originally intended to show oneself friendly.

你想过握手是从何起源的吗?也许你也想知道握手源自用来表达自己的友善态度。
During the medieval times, when many of the men were covered in armor, the handshake was a manner of greeting used to show friendship. If one male extended an open hand to another, this was understood to mean an extension of friendship and the gesture would be returned. Of course the alternative would be a hand extended with an accompanying dagger or sword. Suffice it to say the handshake was a way to determine whether one was friend or foe.

中世纪时期,很多男人穿着盔甲,握手是表示友谊的问候方式。如果男士向另一位男士伸出摊开的手,这意味着要交朋友。另一个人会回以同样的手势做反应。当然,还有一种方式是伸出握着匕首或剑的手。这足够说明握手是判断一个人是朋友还是敌人的方法。
