Why ancient liturgy is revived in modern times

Traditional etiquette is still used in modern times, especially some virtues.

Among the nations of the world, the Chinese nation, which has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, is known as the "State of Etiquette" and is rich in the fine tradition of civilization and courtesy. As early as the Zhou Dynasty in China, a complete etiquette system began to form. Many of the traditional virtues of antiquity are still highly revered today.

Many of the discourses on "etiquette" have been widely circulated throughout the ages, and have been cited as mottos to guide people's moral behavior, such as "respect each other as guests", "courtesy and exchange", "do not do to others what you do not want", and so on. The famous saying of Confucius, a famous thinker in ancient China, "If you turn in your superiors, you will not be profane, and if you are not blasphemous, you should not be arrogant and arrogant in your daily interpersonal interactions." In the article "The Book of Rites", Confucius also said that "do not lose one's footing in others, do not lose one's color in others, and do not lose one's mouth in others", that is, remind people not to be rude to others in their behavior, attitude, and speech.

If a modern person can achieve such a "three non-losses", it is already remarkable. In the past, it was often said that "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality", that is, to be gentle, kind, respectful, thrifty, and humble, are all codes of conduct related to "etiquette". Although these polite norms of behavior were produced in feudal society, from the perspective of historical materialism, we should still realistically admit that many of them still have practical significance for reference.

The traditional virtues of ancient times are the essence of the Chinese nation's culture and should be inherited and carried forward.

However, we feel that it is a pity that in China, due to various reasons, for a long time, there have been a lot of etiquette blindness in society, and uncivilized presents abound, which is sad! The traditional virtues in the ancient rituals of our country need to be revived, inherited and magnified.

Confucius mentioned thousands of years ago, "The use of etiquette, harmony is precious", which tells us that the greatest use of etiquette is to live in harmony between people. This "harmony", in modern society, means that people need harmony between people, peace between countries, reasonable competition between companies, and harmony in society. And so on and so forth, all of which need to be revived!

Let us work together to restore China's reputation as a "state of etiquette", so that our people will no longer be synonymous with "uncivilized" and "rude" when they go out. Let our interpersonal relationships make our society truly harmonious!

As a descendant of Yan and Huang, the Chinese nation.

As a member of the group, every Chinese has accepted a variety of Chinese etiquette culture since childhood. Traditional Chinese etiquette is an aspect of the excellent and splendid culture of the Chinese nation. Chinese civilization.

With a history of 5,000 years, we have inherited many traditional rituals in this long historyThese traditional rituals still shine and are convincing even after the baptism of the years, and they are worthy of all our people to continue to inherit and carry forward the etiquette culture of our ancestors. So, in modern times, which traditional etiquette is still worth passing on? I think the following traditional etiquette is worth passing on.

1. One of my favorite traditional etiquettes is the etiquette of visiting every Spring Festival, when it comes to the beginning of the New Year. I feel that this traditional etiquette is still worth passing on, and now people are busy all year round, and friends and neighbors have the opportunity to get together during the New Year. Such traditional etiquette can bring the relationship between each other closer and is more conducive to the harmonious development of society.

And the Spring Festival is the most important festival for our Chinese, so the traditional etiquette of the Spring Festival must be passed on.

2. Food culture etiquetteI feel that the traditional etiquette of our food culture is also worth inheriting, especially for children now, it is very necessary to learn ancient Chinese food culture etiquette, such as eating silently, and paying attention to the order of the young and the young at the table. If you are feasting with guests, you must learn to make dishes and toast at the table.

3. Sitting etiquetteWhen it comes to food etiquette, the etiquette of sitting should not be abolished. The elderly take a seat, and the guests come first. I think our Chinese etiquette in this regard is very thoughtful and courteous, which is worth inheriting.

For example, the ritual of meeting, walking, eating, congratulating, celebrating and sitting, these traditional rituals are of great help to our lives and are worth inheriting.

For example, you must shake hands after meeting, you must say thank you after accepting help from others, and you must choose a kneeling posture when greeting the New Year, and when drinking with others, you must underestimate others in the cup, and you must ask each other after meeting.

First of all, it is the ceremony of walking, the ceremony of meeting, the ceremony of seating, the ceremony of eating, and the ceremony of congratulating and mourning.

The young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the guest and the guest are in order, the guest is at the host's convenience, knows honor and disgrace, understands honesty and shame, is self-reliant and self-reliant, and respects the national culture; Because these traditional etiquette have a particularly good concept, this can also show the cultural heritage of a country, and also can see a person's etiquette culture.

Relatives during the Chinese New Year and festivals. Know how to respect the old and love the young. Think from the perspective of others. Be able to be grateful to your parents. Know how to bow when you see your elders.

The etiquette of walking, paying attention to the handling of interpersonal relationships in the process of walking, so there is a etiquette of walking; The gift of meeting, people should not only have a warm attitude when meeting every day, but also be polite; The ceremony of seating, the traditional social etiquette is orderly, and the seat is also divided into primary and secondary, the venerable is seated, and the inferior is seated; The etiquette of eating, food etiquette occupies a very important place in Chinese culture.

There are 4 points of difference between ancient and modern etiquette, which are as follows:

1. The foundation is different.

Ancient etiquette was based on the feudal hierarchy, while modern etiquette recognizes identity differences, but emphasizes people-oriented, personality equality, and respect for people as its foothold and starting point.

2. The goals are different.

Ancient etiquette was aimed at maintaining the feudal ruling order, while modern etiquette focuses on the pursuit of harmony and smoothness in interpersonal communication.

3. The scope is different.

Ancient etiquette was about "courtesy and not inferior to the common people", so it had nothing to do with the common people, while modern etiquette applies to any participant in a communicative activity. It should be said that compared with ancient etiquette, modern etiquette is more concerned with the success of interpersonal communication, so its core content is the behavioral norms of interpersonal communication, rather than self-restraint like ancient etiquette.

Four essential features of modern etiquette:

1. Universality, that is, in any country, on any occasion, in any interpersonal interaction, people must consciously abide by etiquette.

2. Normative, pay attention to etiquette, and must adopt standardized forms of expression in order to obtain a wide range of recognition and respect.

3. Objectivity, in the face of different communication objects or different types of interpersonal communication in different fields, it is often necessary to pay attention to different types of etiquette.

4. Operability, in the specific chain of etiquette, there are specific, clear, and operable ways and methods to do and not to do. <>

The heyday of ancient Chinese etiquette was the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty was an important feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and its culture and political system had a profound impact on later generations. The Zhou Dynasty ruled China for more than 800 years in the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou periods, respectively, and this period is also known as the "** era of feudal society".

The etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty was very complete, with a strict hierarchy and appointment regulations, and also paid attention to etiquette and rituals, believing that these were important means of maintaining social order and stability. The ritual music system of the Zhou Dynasty enabled exchanges and communication between various localities and tribes, and promoted the blending and prosperity of cultures.

The ritual and music system and ideological system of the Zhou Dynasty also directly influenced later historical periods, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, etc., and became an inseparable part of traditional Chinese culture. As a result, the Zhou Dynasty is regarded as the heyday of ancient Chinese etiquette.

Confucius admired the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of schools of thought arose, and the way of the gentleman prevailed. After the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was attached, and the country of Zhongwu Bi has always been a state of etiquette.

Modern etiquette and politeness originate from etiquette, and the production of etiquette can be traced back to ancient times. It can be said that modern etiquette originated in ancient times.

Modern etiquette is politeness and politeness to others and is not hierarchical, whereas ancient etiquette is hierarchical, and people of low rank must bow to those of higher rank.

The status of women has improved, and they used to be at every turn, and nothing else has changed.
