Has the civilization of modern people gone backwards? Where are all the ancient etiquette?

Even in ancient times, the etiquette of each dynasty was not exactly the same.

Modern society pays more attention to simplicity and efficiency, and ancient etiquette is already "red tape". Moreover, the ancient family has long been disintegrated in modern society, and the agricultural society with little mobility has been replaced by the industrial and commercial society with rapid mobility. A lot of etiquette can't be realized in modern society.

For example, in the Qing dynasty, when men met dignitaries, they "swindled and cheated", while women "bowed their knees", "kowtowed" and "paid homage", and so on. Now, it is "shaking hands" and, more importantly, bowing. Why do you still cheat when you meet your boss or superiors every day and ask your boss to pay a New Year call? ! There are also weddings, funerals and celebrations, which the ancients attached great importance to. It may take months. Now, whether it's a company or a government agency, who gives you a few months off? !

Fast pace, urbanization and industry and commerce are the signs of civilization evolution, and the simplification of etiquette is the result of the evolution of modern civilization.
