关于鞠躬礼的起源，一种意见认为，它是中国古代汉族的礼仪风俗，而且早在先奏以前就已经产生了。有人还追溯到商代古老的祭天仪式─—鞠祭、鞠祭时，作为“牺牲”（祭品）的猪、牛、羊或人，必须保持完整形状，并需将其弯蜷成圆形，即鞠形，以表达祭者格外恭敬与虔诚的心意。 With regard to the origin of the bow ceremony, one opinion held that it was a ritual custom of the ancient Han in China and that it had been produced before the prelude. Someone also goes back to the sacrificial offerings of pigs, cattle, sheep or people as sacrificial sacrifices during the ancient sacrificial rituals of the Shang dynasty - Ju Festival and Ju Festival. The pigs, cattle, sheep or people who sacrificed are required to keep their full shape and curl into a circle Shape, that is, the shape of the bow, in order to express their extravagant respect and pious heart.
