When was the heyday of Chinese etiquette culture?

It reached its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

China is a state of etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, and its teachings spread overseas. According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the Duke of Zhou put forward the program of propriety. Later, after Confucius and the seventies, as well as the advocacy and improvement of Mencius and Xunzi, the ritual and music civilization became the core of Confucian culture.

After the Western Han Dynasty, as the theoretical form of ritual and music culture and the source of ancient ritual system, Yili, Zhou Li and Li Ji were successively listed as scholars, which not only became the classics that ancient scholars must read, but also became the basis of ritual system in past dynasties, and had a far-reaching impact on China culture and history.

With the formation of Confucian cultural circle in East Asia, ritual and music culture has naturally become an important feature of eastern civilization. Undoubtedly, to understand the traditional culture of China, we must understand the etiquette culture of China.

Extended data:

China's etiquette culture not only played a great role in the Chinese nation, but also had a far-reaching impact on the world. For example, China's traditional etiquette culture has been preserved in Korean and Japanese, and continues to play an active role in social life. Shamefully, in people's native land, its loss rate is very alarming.

In people's interpersonal communication, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to show respect with elegant language and manners. As the most common and grand wedding and birthday ceremony among the people, it has increasingly lost its national characteristics and rapidly westernized;

Christmas and Valentine's Day are increasingly becoming the main festivals for young people in China. As a symbol of national culture, once the etiquette and festivals are all westernized, it shows that the standard culture has been abandoned by the people and its demise will not be too far away. China people and people of insight should be aware of their worries.
