In any civilized society and any civilized nation, people always attach great importance to civility and politeness.

It marks the civilized process of a society and reflects the spiritual outlook of a nation.

A person's appearance and demeanor are the manifestation of his cultivation and civilization. The ancients believed that dignified manners, courtesy, respectful deacons, and courteous manners could not only maintain personal dignity, but also help to advance into morality. Ancient thinkers once compared the fur of animals with the appearance and demeanor of men, and beasts cannot be beasts without their fur; When a person loses his manners, he does not become a human being.
