How to know etiquette know etiquette with etiquette.ppt

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question:

Ritual, righteousness, honesty and shame, the four dimensions of the state; if the four dimensions are not open, the state will perish." This is the words of the sage Guan Zhong, meaning that propriety, justice, honesty and shame are the four basic guidelines for governing a country; if the four guidelines are not established, the country will perish. Guan Zhong's words are very good, etiquette is the fundamental law of governing the people, integrity and shame is the fundamental integrity of the people. The fact that he put etiquette, integrity and shame at the height of establishing a country and securing a state shows the importance of etiquette, integrity and shame.

"Manners, righteousness, honesty and shame" is the basic framework and core of China's thousands of years of traditional moral standards and the essence of traditional morality. If there is propriety, people will not go beyond the norms they should observe; if there is righteousness, they will not seek advancement; if there is honesty, they will not be insatiable; if there is shame, they will not be submissive to bad people.

In today's materialistic society, the desire for profit is gradually blinded our eyes. It is because of the increasingly distorted concept of right and wrong, the young little month in the rut no one asked, fell down the old man no one dared to help. Because of the vanity of not knowing what to know as "shame", will ignorantly show off their wealth on the network, because they do not understand the "righteousness" of generosity and fraternity, will put the lives of the people as a grass, in order to self-interest in the production of gutter oil, how many officials ugly image of corruption collapsed in front of the public. How many officials' ugly and corrupt image collapsed in front of the public. How many relatives for the sake of interests turned against each other, a tragedy to see people shocked. We can not only have a bright appearance, and let the barren heart has been empty. Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty said, etiquette, the rule of man's law, shame and integrity, to establish a man's great section. I think this sentence in the present time is very necessary and urgent.

Throughout the ages, rulers, thinkers, once in power and the face of the governance of the people's affairs, the first thing that comes to mind is the governance of the people's first initiative: "propriety, justice, honesty and shame". Also look at the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties, seems to be unable to get rid of such a spell. Although the reasons for the demise of each dynasty are different, but they can not escape the cycle of the law of the rise and fall of the cycle of reincarnation: from the beginning of the dynasty to pay close attention to the fight against corruption, to the dynasty in the middle of the anti-corruption system after the gradual relaxation of the system has become a name, and then to the late dynasty will be prevalent in the corruption that led to the demise of the dynasty, and then the new dynasty from the beginning to start a new cycle. It can be seen that, whether from the lessons of history or from the experience of reality. We seem to be in dire need of a set of good moral standards to guide our inner direction. It is precisely for this reason that we need to take "propriety, justice, honesty and shame" as our own standard of conduct, internalize it as a behavioral instinct, and practice it in the details of daily life and work.

The people, to speak of propriety, justice, honesty and shame, and always be grateful. For the people, the country, to say "clean", we must have a sense of responsibility. Caring for public property, do not waste a drop of national resources, to establish a sense of ownership. To friends, to be "righteous", we must not bring colored glasses to make friends, not to the rich and poor to differentiate between the rich and the poor, when in difficulty to help a hand, to be able to send charcoal in the snow is to do the "righteousness". To strangers, to talk about "etiquette", we must treat people politely, do not judge people by their appearance, to the fancy clothes and brocade one attitude, to the ragged people is another attitude. To speak of shame to themselves, we must always be ashamed, and have the courage to correct any mistakes. It is said that shameless people are the most terrible, in fact, shameless people are also the most ignorant. There is no shame, there is no progress. From a small point of view, they can not get progress, to a large point of view, the whole nation is difficult to develop.

Officials, we must talk about propriety, justice, honesty and shame, and always mindful of the heart of self-discipline, often thinking about the harm of greed, often guard against non-thinking. For the officials, to say "etiquette", we must abandon the "official authority", treat the masses. Because it is essentially but the people's servants, can not be self-righteous, overbearing to the masses, subordinates, should dilute the official idea, put down the frame of mind, to maintain the civilian mentality. For officials, to be "righteous", we must be open and honest, all righteous. Be upright, down-to-earth work, so that the words to have the courage to do things to have the courage to increase personal charisma, which in turn produces a strong cohesion and appeal. For the officials, to will be clean, we must uphold the public power, do not seek private gain. In the face of the people's rights, officials should always keep a clear head. For officials, to speak "shame" to distinguish between right and wrong, introspection and self-respect. Shame, is a kind of self-knowledge and self-esteem virtues. Mencius" said "no shame, non-human." Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty also said: "Shame is known to all, the country will never have shame; Shame is not known, the country's great shame."

Ritual, justice, honesty and shame is a moral standard, behavioral norms, in the view of the ancients, compared with the law, they are more important than the law. In fact, in today's view, the practical significance of their existence should not be underestimated. The purpose of the law is to combat crime, which is a mandatory corrective measure. However, cracking down does not solve the fundamental problem. The solution to the fundamental problem still depends on the universal acceptance of such basic moral norms as "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame". We need such a set of values to educate and shape people's inner order, when people's inner world is sorted out in order, their external behavior will also be effectively regulated, the task of social governance can also be fundamentally completed. The law, however, mainly regulates people's external behavior, from this point of view, the law needs a set of universally promoted moral standards to assist it to complete the task of social governance. Therefore, from the legal point of view, we need such a set of moral standards recognized in the heart.
