What are the common sense of Korean civilization etiquette?

Koreans pay great attention to etiquette and politeness and are known as the "home of etiquette". The etiquette and morality of Koreans, with respect for the elderly and guests, filial piety to parents, respect for teachers and mutual courtesy as the main contents, restricts a person's words, deeds and every move. Be polite in speaking, walking, eating and entertaining guests. When speaking, the younger generation must use honorific words to their elders, and all acquaintances who are older than themselves should also use honorific words, and the first meeting between peers should also use honorific words to show elegance and courtesy. For guests, even if they are a few years younger than themselves, they will generally treat each other with respectful words. One is three meals. First, serve the elderly and elders, and set a single table for the elderly and guests. Daughter-in-law or children respectfully put the food in front of the elderly, and the whole family can eat only after the elderly and elders raise chopsticks. When eating, the spoon should be put in the soup bowl. It is impolite to put a spoon on the table. Holiday meals are usually shared with neighbors. Drinking and smoking: father and son are not at the same table. When the younger generation can't avoid drinking and smoking in front of their elders, young people drink with their backs to show respect. At a banquet, people usually sit down and raise their glasses in turn according to their age. On the way, when you meet an old man, you must respectfully salute and say hello, make way for him, and even look at him. When festivals come, old people, parents and teachers are respected. The younger generation, children and students bring delicious or useful things to the homes of the elderly, parents and teachers to celebrate festivals. Koreans attach great importance to 60, 70 and their children's first birthday. When the elderly celebrate their 60th birthday, their children will hold a grand ceremony, and their descendants and relatives will get together to hold a big banquet for the elderly to celebrate their birthdays together, and then sing, dance and play the piano, so that the elderly can enjoy family happiness in their later years. In recent years, Korean musicians have created a song "Mom, I wish you a long life" based on this traditional activity, which has become the main theme of the past. Koreans especially like to talk about the word "conscience". Parents want their children to be conscientious and productive from an early age. Whether there is a "conscience" or not "conscience is right" has become the main symbol to judge a person's behavior, and it has also become a mantra to talk about people. In a village, anyone who is considered to have no conscience or bad conscience will be despised and disliked by the whole village. Korean life etiquette includes "Hundred Days Banquet", birthday banquet, and ceremonial wishes and coronation ceremonies such as babies (women are gifts, which have disappeared) and weddings, as well as ceremonies and funerals to celebrate longevity, such as flower banquet, golden banquet, Bajia banquet and wedding ceremony. (1) "Hundred-Day Banquet": It means that the baby grows to 100 days and holds a banquet to wish the baby many blessings and longevity. The person who came to congratulate brought a white thread around the baby's neck, and some paper money was sandwiched in the white thread. The baby's parents made "white ice cream" with white rice and gave it to "one hundred people" at the crossroads, wishing the baby a long life. (2) "One-year-old birthday party": one is to congratulate the baby on his first spring, summer, autumn and winter in life, and the other is to wish him a bright future. This day gives children new clothes, entertains relatives, neighbors and friends, and also lets children grasp the week. The so-called "grasping the week" is to set up a "birthday table" with books, pens, money, knives and all kinds of food on it for children to grab at will, and judge their future "interests" by what they grab first. If you grab the pen and book first, it indicates that there will be literary talent in the future and so on. (3) Wedding: Korean traditional wedding includes ancient etiquette elements such as "farewell ceremony", "worship ceremony" and "wedding ceremony". Since 1950s, the new wedding has gradually replaced the old one. In the new wedding, there are procedures such as reading the marriage certificate, exchanging gifts between the bride and groom, saluting or bowing to each other, the bride and groom bowing to their parents, and speeches by family representatives of both sides. Whether it's a wedding held at the bride's house, the groom's house or a wedding held in a hotel, the bride and groom's banquet is indispensable, that is, the bride and groom accept a "big table banquet". This is the traditional etiquette of an old-fashioned wedding. There are all kinds of food on the big table, among which the most conspicuous and distinctive one is a steamed whole rooster with red pepper in its mouth. The cock symbolizes a happy marriage, and the red pepper symbolizes that the bride and groom are soul mates, and the days are prosperous and many children are blessed. After drinking three glasses of wine poured by the best man, the groom asked to choose a little of everything on the big table and present it to his parents for tasting. This is a "free package". Three peeled boiled eggs are buried in the groom's rice bowl. The groom can only eat half a bowl of rice and one or two eggs, and leave the rest to the bride. (4) Celebration etiquette: including flower banquet, entrance banquet, Bajia banquet, Jiujia banquet and wedding. The Chinese family banquet is a grand banquet organized by children to commemorate their 60th birthday, also known as family celebration banquet and family banquet. The Golden Family Banquet is a wedding banquet held after you reach the age of 60 and enter New Jaga. Eight banquets and nine banquets are held for the 80th and 90th birthdays. Going back to the wedding is a gift to commemorate the 60th wedding anniversary. However, there are three conditions for holding a wedding: First, the time limit is the 60th anniversary of marriage; Second, it must be the original couple; Third, all the children born are alive, and there are no criminals who have served their sentences. There have always been many taboos in Korean folk daily life, including forbidding words, fasting, watching, touching and caring. These contents can also be divided into birth taboos (including pregnancy taboos and taboos before and after delivery), marriage taboos, funeral taboos, building moving taboos, farming taboos, belief taboos and so on. For example, in the birth taboo, pregnant women are forbidden to drink water with chipped spoons and bowls, and pregnant women are forbidden to eat chicken for fear of not having milk after delivery. In the marriage taboo, men and women with the same surname handed down from the same clan cannot get married, which is called "the same surname and the same book are not married"; Men and women with different surnames handed down from the same ancestor cannot get married, which is called "different surnames from different sources"; You can't marry your aunt or cousin, which is "consanguineous marriage"; If there is a funeral at home, you can't get married within a year. This is called "not getting married in case of funeral". Among the taboos of funeral and sacrifice, scaleless fish, such as loach and eel, cannot be used as food for sacrifice because of their dragon shape; When holding sacrifices (sacrifices within three years are called soul sacrifices, and sacrifices after three years are called sacrifices), you can't sprinkle Chili noodles in the soup; Dog meat cannot be placed on the sacrificial table; Mouth fish can't go to the sacrificial platform, because the lower lip of mouth fish looks like a "mountain", and the mountain is where immortals live. In the taboo of building and moving, the front of the house should be open, and the taboo is just facing the mountain peak; When moving, choose auspicious days and normal days, and avoid auspicious days (the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, 17, 27 is auspicious days, the ninth day, 19, 10, 20 is normal days, and others are auspicious days). In the taboo of farming, the date of sowing in the field is divided into extended day and shortened day (1 to 5, 1 1 to 15, 2 1 to 25, others are shortened days). Sowing for a long time will make crops grow well. In addition, at weddings and funerals, dogs don't kill, and so on. Most of the taboo customs of the Korean nation have been abandoned, but some of them still continue to this day.

In short, the Korean people have inherited and carried forward their fine folk traditions and formed their own unique national customs and habits in the long-term production and life practice.
