Is kowtowing a traditional culture?

Kowtowing during the New Year is not an excellent traditional culture, but a typical feudal dross. This is to oppress people with tradition, not etiquette, but to judge ugliness and endure humiliation. Just like the development of modern history, ignorant traditional culture is dross.

There is a serious lack of personality belief, and kowtowing in New Year's greetings is totally meaningless as etiquette. As a way of greeting the New Year, kowtowing also spread from the court to the people from the corrupt Qing court, and was imitated as fashion worship.

In modern civilized society, we should get rid of those secular festivals. Those feudal dross are no longer passed down as traditional culture. Don't kowtow to your elders, wine and meat cross the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention. You don't have to bow to such shameful behavior.

Worship is a etiquette used to establish a hierarchy. Under the ruling class and feudal patriarchal system, it is an insult to people to respect and protect in an orderly manner.

Looking back at history, whether bowing to officials or clan elders, it is essentially a abandonment of self-dignity and a surrender to the current personality status gap.

Kowtowing in New Year's greetings is the most insulting behavior, and it is the restoration of decadent culture under the banner of excellent traditional culture. We should get rid of the dross of rice, take its essence, and abandon the etiquette of "kowtowing to celebrate the New Year".
