Ni hao is the most commonly used greeting. Kong Qiu, or Confucius, told people 2,500 years ago that everyone must follow etiquette. So China is called the 'home of etiquette'(礼仪之邦). Ni hao is the most typical greeting in China. Wishing you well. A greeting that wishes you good health, a good job and a happy family. Let's say that together: "Ni hao".
