What are the differences between modern etiquette and ancient etiquette?

First of all, they are implemented on different bases. Ancient etiquette was based on feudal hierarchy; Although modern etiquette admits that there are status differences between people, it advocates people-oriented, equality of personality and social justice, and takes respecting and caring for people as the starting point for implementing etiquette.

Second, they have different purposes. In ancient times, the use of etiquette focused on maintaining the feudal ruling order; In modern times, etiquette is used to pursue the harmony and smoothness of interpersonal communication.

Third, the scope of their use is different. In ancient times, there was a saying that "etiquette cannot be inferior to Shu Ren", so ancient etiquette often had nothing to do with ordinary people; In modern society, people are equal, so modern etiquette is generally applicable to participants in any communication activities.

For modern people, the success of interpersonal communication is inseparable from the help of etiquette. Compared with ancient etiquette, it pays more attention to interpersonal communication, so its core content is the code of conduct of interpersonal communication, rather than restricting behavior by identity like ancient etiquette.

Modern etiquette is a new comprehensive etiquette which integrates ancient etiquette and international etiquette. It focuses on absorbing its advantages and using it for me. International etiquette is different from traditional etiquette in China, so we should carefully study its characteristics and grasp its essence.
