How to insist on the critical inheritance of the promotion of traditional etiquette, improve the degree of social civilization

China is known as the "State of Etiquette", and "etiquette" is always present in the society, such as traveling, sitting and lying down, feasting, marriage and funeral, birthday, sacrificial ceremonies, and wars, etc. The traditional Chinese culture of etiquette should be critically inherited rather than rejected. The traditional Chinese culture of etiquette should be inherited critically, not vetoed.

Rituals are the watershed between civilization and barbarism, rituals are the way people interact with each other, and rituals are also the guidelines for daily

life. If you are rich and wealthy and know good manners, you will not be proud and unprofessional; if you are poor and lowly and know good manners, you will not be deterred from your ambition

. In Zuo Zhuan, there is a saying: "Rites are the discipline of the upper and lower levels of the earth and sky and the reason for the people's

birth; Rites are used by the state, to set the gods of the earth and grain, and to order the people, and to benefit the heirs of the people." It is evident that etiquette plays an important role in

civilized society and people's livelihood. The traditional Chinese etiquette culture has experienced

thousands of years of historical washing and precipitation, those excellent cultural values of etiquette should not be discarded

and should be perfected, inherited and carried forward.

Wu Hongbo, ambassador plenipotentiary to Germany, was once asked by a German reporter, "What can Germans learn from China? Wu Hongbo replied: "Modesty. For example, if a Chinese person completes a project, he

won't emphasize his own role, he first talks about his team, his mentor, and seldom mentions

himself", humility and respect for others is the principle of the spirit of Chinese etiquette. The so-called "inferiority" is not

to pretend to humble themselves, but to lower their posture and treat people with humility. If you want to be good, you have to honor the little ones.

This kind of sincerity, respect and humility, and the principle of the etiquette to cultivate the body are still worth advocating in contemporary society.

Traditional etiquette also transmits many excellent basic values, such as respect, forgiveness, sincerity, trust

, benevolence and love. Under the modern utilitarian teaching model, we have long forgotten what "Tao"

is and what "Tao" should be taught in China. Ritual culture, however, provides us with a spiritual platform

to appreciate these excellent spiritual cores. Liu Mengxi, a famous literary historian, pointed out that "respect,

forgiveness, honesty, benevolence and love should become the cultural identifiers of Chinese children.

However, traditional etiquette also has its own closed and old side. Such as the ancient women to small jade

feet for beauty, from childhood foot wrapping caused women's foot bones are hard bending, seriously affecting its normal

normal physiological activities; children should listen to their parents matchmaking, finger marriage is to honor the filial piety of the wrong view

ideas also make many lovers separated from the ends of the earth. The feudal idea of traditional etiquette to a certain extent limits

freedom of thought and hinders the further development of social civilization.

Chinese etiquette and culture is backward and outdated, but the essence of the modern society

has great relevance to the excellent spiritual heritage, never out of date. Choose the good and the bad and change

it, let it become the deep value of the country's "root".
