Why do people in China pay attention to etiquette?

Because China has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, it is known as "the country of etiquette", and etiquette is a symbol of civilization. Civilization has inherent moral requirements.

Rite is a moral attribute advocated by Confucianism, such as the four dimensions of the country, ceremony, honesty, shame, five permanents, benevolence, righteousness, ceremony, wisdom and faith. Instrument is the external expression of civilized behavior. The etiquette we are talking about now basically refers to etiquette, but we talk too little about the moral connotation of etiquette.

China people have China people's unique spiritual world and values, and China people's manners and requirements, which are completely different from westerners. Different nationalities, different classes and different industries in China have different manners. Etiquette itself represents an attitude towards people, but there is no fixed unified model.

Modern people learn western etiquette, but they should understand that it is western etiquette. If we use that etiquette in other places, it will still make people laugh. The original intention of courtesy is respect, kindness and respectful attitude and words and deeds. Etiquette is a set of rituals formed in a relative environment. Talking about the external ceremony and ignoring the internal ceremony will give up the root and seek the end.

Extended data:

The form of the ceremony will change, but the heart can't change, otherwise it will become superficial. The form of ceremony can be learned quickly, but the internal cultivation is long-term. Form is indispensable, rude and heartless. I often ask myself, who doesn't want to see the ceremony.

No matter what form it is, the form is not very important. Expressing inner respect and respect is also the ancient people's understanding of etiquette. Therefore, the same is true of the ceremony. Because the ceremony is not based on righteousness, it is still cultivated.

Really good manners and customs are not only the embodiment of personal quality and education, but also the embodiment of social justice and civilization. It is a universal law at all times and all over the world that the mind is right inside and things are right outside.
