It is not appropriate to touch Hokkiens on their shoulder, also don’t touch them in any other way. This strongly applies to all Chinese in general, it is a big offense to tap/touch someone on the shoulder. It is said that by touch/tapping someone’s shoulder, you would put out one of three holy flames inside the person’s body. This will cause a lot of bad luck to that particular person.
Rude to Touch in China?
