What are the stages of the history of the liturgy and the history of the development of the liturgy?

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 Feng, and the Feng is also sound."

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. ”

There is also a point of view that etiquette exists to express its own feelings, and when there is no etiquette, people can not express the awe in their hearts when they sacrifice heaven and earth, and then there is etiquette, just like language, because of the need to produce, and then Tuo began to bow to the elders to express their own respect, and in the later aristocratic class, the meaning of the ceremony was distorted, so that it was used without respect to highlight its own status, so the ritual lost its essence and became etiquette. Giving with respect is the real courtesy.

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.

.The history of the development of etiquette can be roughly divided into eight periods: the embryonic period of etiquette, the initial period of etiquette, the formation period, the development and transformation period, the strengthening period, the decline period, the modern etiquette period and the contemporary etiquette period. The formation and development of etiquette has gone through a gradual process from scratch, from low to high, from scattered to complete.

1) The embryonic period of the liturgy (50,000 BC - 10,000 BC).

2) The Origin of Ritual and the Period of Primitive Society, in the history of primitive society that lasted for more than 1 million years, human beings gradually became enlightened. In the middle and late Paleolithic periods of primitive societies, the germ of early rituals appeared.

3) The Beginning of the Rite (10,000 BC – 22nd Century BC).

Around 10,000 B.C., humans entered the Neolithic period, and not only were they able to make fine polished stone tools, but also began to engage in agriculture and animal husbandry. In the millennia that followed, primitive rituals took shape.

4) The formative period of the liturgy (21st century BC - 771 BC).

From about the 21st century BC to 771 BC, China entered the Bronze Age from the era of gold and stone. The use of metals has brought agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicraft production to a new level. With the improvement of living standards, social wealth was surplus except for consumption and gradually concentrated in the hands of a few, so class antagonism appeared, and primitive society disintegrated.

The Xia Dynasty from the 21st century BC to the 15th century BC began from the period of primitive Chinese society.

2.There are generally five kinds of ritual origins: one is the birth of the gods of rituals, the second is the unity of heaven, earth and man, the third is that rituals arise from the natural nature of man, the fourth is the product of the contradiction between human nature and the environment, and the fifth is that rituals are born from reason and originate from the vulgar.

What is etiquette, etiquette is etiquette and rituals. The essence of ritual is the way to govern people, and it is a derivative of the belief in ghosts and gods. People believe that everything is manipulated by invisible ghosts and gods, and performing rituals is to curry favor with ghosts and gods, so rituals originate from ghost and god beliefs, and it is also a special form of manifestation of ghost and god beliefs.

Primitive society. In the middle and late stages of primitive society, the germ of early etiquette appeared, and in the three periods of Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, etiquette began to gradually enter the formative period. The period of change in etiquette was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, during which a hundred schools of thought were formed in the academic circles, so the Hundred Schools of Thought gave research and development to the religion of etiquette.

The period of strengthening of etiquette was from the Qin and Han dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the development of modern etiquette was after the Xinhai Revolution. <
