Kowtow, który jest zapożyczony z kau tau w kantońskim lub koutou w chińskim chińskim, jest aktem głębokiego szacunku pokrzepienia, czyli klęczenia i kłania się tak nisko, że głowa dotyka ziemi. Alternatywnym pojęciem chińskim jest ketou, ale znaczenie jest nieco zmienione: kou ma ogólne znaczenie pukania, podczas gdy ke ma ogólne znaczenie "dotykać", tou oznacza głowę. W wschodniej Azji kultura, kowtow jest najwyższym znakiem szacunku. Był powszechnie używany do okazywania szacunku dla starszych, przełożonych, a zwłaszcza cesarza, a także religijnych i kulturalnych obiektów kultu. W dzisiejszych czasach użycie kowtowa zostało poważnie zredukowane.
