      Word relations
    • Ant: 迎/WELCOME The current general word for welcoming someone is yíng 迎 (ant. bèi 背 "turn one's back on" and zhú 逐 "drive away").
    • Assoc: 拜/BOW DOWN The general word for all kinds of bowing recognised as ritually correct is bài 拜, which involves kneeling on the ground, moving one's head against one's hands joined in the obligatory Confucian manner, and bowing one's torso forward, and this word is often rich in further semantic nuances.
    • Oppos: 逆/WELCOME Nì 逆 is a dialect variant for yíng 迎 and is typically used for welcoming brides into a family, but in later times the word came to be used predominantly in the meaning "to oppose".
    • Oppos: 養/REAR Yǎng 養 refers primarily to the caring for and nourishing of one's parents, children or other humans one feels caring sympathy for and is only occasionally used for non-humans, although it does apply to plants like mulberry trees that need much care.
