China / Tibet: A Tibetan gives a traditional greeting by sticking his tongue out. Unknown photographer, early 20th century
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Date
1900 AD - 1930 AD (C19th AD - C20th AD)
Image description

In Tibet sticking the tongue out is considered a polite way of showing respect. The caption on this photograph explains: 'Sticking the tongue out as a Tibetan greeting began when Buddhists wanted people to know that they were not Bon-Po (pre-Buddhist religion) as they were supposed to have black tongues. Pink tongues were stuck out as proof of being Buddhist. The further the tongue out, the greater respect'.
