The origin of etiquette.

As an important code of conduct in interpersonal communication, etiquette is not arbitrarily fabricated out of thin air, nor is it dispensable. Understanding the origin of etiquette is conducive to understanding the essence of etiquette and consciously carrying out social activities in accordance with the requirements of etiquette norms. Researchers have a variety of views on the origin of etiquette, which can be roughly summarized as follows:

There is an opinion that the liturgy originated from sacrifices. The Eastern Han Dynasty Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" explains the word "li" as follows: "Perform also, so the blessing of the gods also follows the sound of the phoenix."

It means to do what has been agreed upon and to show it to the gods for blessings. The word "li" is a word of understanding, and "show" refers to the gods, from which it can be analyzed that the word "li" is related to the rituals of sacrificing to the gods in ancient times. In ancient times, sacrificial activities were not carried out randomly, but were carried out strictly in accordance with certain procedures and methods.

Guo Moruo pointed out in the "Ten Criticisms": "The beginning of rituals began with worshipping gods, and then expanded to people, and then became auspicious, fierce, military, guest, jia and other rituals. "Here we talk about the origin of the liturgy and the development of the liturgy.

There is also an opinion that etiquette originated from customs. People can not leave the society and the group, people in the long-term communication activities, gradually produced some conventional habits, over time these habits become the norms of communication between people, when these communication habits are recorded in the form of words and at the same time consciously abide by people, it has gradually become a fixed etiquette for people's communication. Observing etiquette not only makes people's social communication activities orderly and rule-based, but also makes people more friendly in their interactions.

In 1922, the book "A Collection of Western Etiquette" was published, which began with the following words: "On the surface, etiquette has countless rules and precepts, but its fundamental purpose is to make the world a place full of joy in life, to make people approachable. ”

From the origin of etiquette, it can be seen that etiquette came into being in people's social activities, in order to maintain a stable order, in order to maintain a kind of communicative harmony. To this day, etiquette still embodies this essential characteristic and unique function.

In my memory, the Spring Festival every year is about the same, lively, festive and peaceful.

A few days before the Spring Festival, it is the busiest time for adults, but it is the time when our children look forward to it the most. Mom and Dad bought a lot of delicious food, but I could only watch with my eyes, so I eagerly looked forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival.

It's finally the official New Year, and New Year's greetings are our family's top priority. Every time I go to a house, I have to say an auspicious sentence, such as: "Happy New Year", "Wishing you prosperity" and so on, while my parents send a necessary gift for New Year's greetings, and the host will take out a red envelope and hand it to me, which is my happiest thing, so I think about how to use this money and buy some snacks?

Or stationery? It's not bad to buy some fun, but as soon as I got home, I was taken in by my "ruthless" mother, and I had no choice but to blow out these fantasy bubbles.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, it was also the happiest time for my family, and the whole family of three quietly watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and occasionally a few firecrackers were heard outside, which would be particularly interesting. The funny sketches and humorous cross talk on TV often make us laugh, and this laughter is accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside the window, which makes the atmosphere more and more joyful.

For the next few days, we were all over the place, and I was surrounded by hearty meals, dazzling lights, and the blessings of the adults when they were drinking, and I? He and his brother brought a large bottle of drink and drank it happily.

The beginning of the new school year will mean the end of the Spring Festival, but on this day, our family still has to eat the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year has not weakened at all, the laughter, the still festive, still happy.

In this way, the happy Spring Festival has passed, and whenever I think about it carefully, my heart will always be warm ......
