	Kowtow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kowtow, from the Chinese term kòu tóu (Cantonese: kau tàuh) (叩頭), is the act of deep respect shown by kneeling and bowing so low as to touch the head to the ground.
		Current Chinese etiquette does not contain any situations in which the kowtow is regularly performed in front of a living human being, although it may occur in rare and extreme cases where one is begging for forgiveness or offering an extreme apology, or showing respect in traditional funerals.
		Kowtow was very important in the diplomacy of China with European powers, since it was required to come into the presence of the Emperor, but it meant submission before him.

		During the Zhou Dynasty, there was a set of strict rules about kowtow, which played a very important role in maintaining authority and reverence towards emperors and, in turn, consolidating the feudal system.
		For instance, the custom of kowtow was applied when officials met the emperor; when officials of lower rank met those from a higher rank; when minors met masters, etc. The custom not only prevailed on official occasions but also among the common people.

		These Westerners resisted the kowtow, vigorously and noticeably, and by the middle of the nineteenth century, were no longer required to participate in the ritual.

		The dominating myth, of course, is that wildlife are overpopulated and in need of culling, a silly notion considering that humans are really the only animals that are overpopulating.
