[quote:Duncan Kunz:MV80ODM0MTRfNzQ2Nzg2OV80OEU3RjZCMQ==] Bowing is also the opposite of playing pizzicato on a violin, viola, cello, or bass. [/quote]
Original Message
Bowing originated as a gesture of subordination, as lowering the head leaves the bower vulnerable. This was particularly the case in Asian cultures such as that of samurai Japan.
Bowing to other human beings is frowned upon in Muslim cultures as all human beings are considered equal and bowing is only supposed to be done to God in Islam. Similarly, in Judaism the second of the Ten Commandments is generally interpreted to forbid bowing before anyone but God.
