Three arguments about etiquette

In daily life, politeness is the code of conduct that we should abide by, which enables people to maintain good interpersonal relationships and social order in their communication. However, as a cultural phenomenon, the connotation of ceremony is very rich, and there are many different ways of explanation and understanding. This paper will discuss the essence of ceremony in detail from three aspects: the historical origin of ceremony, the interpretation of the meaning of ceremony and the practice of ceremony.

Literally, the word "Li" has multiple meanings, including traditional etiquette, emotional communication and the pursuit of beauty. From a macro perspective, politeness can be regarded as a manifestation of culture and morality, and it is the basis of mutual respect and communication between people. At the same time, ceremony can also be regarded as a kind of cultural storage and inheritance, and it is the representative and continuation of culture. Thirdly, from a practical point of view, etiquette can also be regarded as a social code of conduct, which is the concrete embodiment of social norms and moral requirements. In a word, the significance of ceremony is multidimensional, with rich connotation and extension.

Finally, the practice of etiquette. Ceremony is not only an abstract cultural symbol, but also a way of practice. In different cultural background and social environment, the practice of etiquette is different. In China ancient culture, etiquette culture is an important part of China traditional culture, including sacrificial ceremonies, weddings and funerals, etc. In modern society, the practice of etiquette is more manifested as a kind of social etiquette, including polite expressions, gifts, etiquette and appearance. Either way, the core of etiquette is always to respect and care for others, which is the concrete embodiment of cultural inheritance.

To sum up, as a cultural phenomenon, ceremony has rich connotation and practical value. The historical origin, meaning interpretation and practice mode of the ceremony are the three breakthrough points to understand the ceremony.
