Chinese etiquette originated from? A Shang Zhou B Western Zhou C Eastern Zhou D Han Dynasty

Chinese etiquette originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty. After mankind entered the slave society, in order to consolidate its dominant position, the ruling class developed the primitive religious etiquette into a ritual system that met the political needs of the slave society, and the ceremony was branded as a class. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou formulated the "Nine Guests' Instrument" to regulate the etiquette when the princes paid tribute to the Emperor of Zhou. At this stage, China formed a relatively complete national etiquette and system for the first time. Zhou Li is the earliest etiquette monograph in China. In the history of more than 2,000 years after the Han Dynasty, they have always been the classic works of the state in formulating etiquette systems, and are called the Book of Rites. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundred schools of thought, represented by Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi, studied and developed etiquette, systematically expounded the origin, essence and function of etiquette, and comprehensively and profoundly discussed the division of social classes and its significance in theory for the first time.
