Expansion: Rites and music are an important part of China traditional culture, including etiquette and music. Since ancient times, rites and music have been regarded as an important way to maintain social order and improve humanistic quality and self-cultivation. In the feudal society of China, rites and music once played a very important role. Today, rites and music are still one of the treasures of China culture.

In ancient times, etiquette was regarded as the basis of maintaining social order and moral norms. Etiquette includes all kinds of rituals and norms, reflecting social values and moral standards. For example, sacrifices, weddings, funerals, celebrations and other activities of ancient nobles need to be carried out in accordance with certain etiquette to express respect for ancestors, families and society. At the same time, etiquette is also an important way to adjust the relationship between people, which is conducive to reducing conflicts and contradictions and maintaining social harmony and stability.

As an art form and cultural symbol, music also plays an important role in the history of China. Ancient music is usually coordinated with etiquette, such as banquets, religious ceremonies, sacrifices and other activities need specific music accompaniment. In addition, music is also considered as one of the expressions of human emotion, spirit and culture, which can arouse people's singing and feelings. In the history of China, guqin, flute, Xiao and other musical instruments were widely used, forming many beautiful musical works and traditional music.

Generally speaking, rites and music, as an important part of China traditional culture, reflect the values, moral standards and cultural traditions of China society. In modern society, although the function of rites and music has gradually weakened, its values of respect, respect, coordination and harmony still have important practical significance. While we are constantly reforming and innovating, we should pay attention to inheriting and carrying forward the excellent Chinese culture, and make rites and music an important symbol of national spirit and cultural self-confidence.
