What are some of the ancient Chinese rituals that we should inherit and carry forward? Kneeling etiquette. What etiquette should be carried forward in ancient times? In ancient times, China was known as the "State of Etiquette."" Etiquette" was always emphasized by the rulers as an important means of governance and maintenance of feudal rule. However, with the progress of time, some "etiquette" has obviously become outdated. For example, in ancient times, officials had to kneel down when they met the emperor, and subordinate officials had to kneel down when they met senior officials. Such "etiquette" is obviously outdated, and the ancient rituals and customs of "thick burials" should be abolished.

Ancient etiquette involves all aspects of our lives, we can not mechanically take a broad-brush approach, not only can not be denied, there is no need to accept wholesale, some good "etiquette", or worthy of our inheritance and development, so that it is in the socialist construction of a new period, to play a new vitality. What good etiquette is worth continuing to inherit and preach to expand its influence? Some etiquette at weddings. Wedding is one of the most important events in a person's life, since it is such a big event, we should naturally treat this matter with a serious attitude, and a variety of wedding etiquette on the enhancement of the wedding solemnity and ceremony, the stronger the more obvious, the more can be in the divorce rate is so high today, this sense of solemnity and ceremony in the marriage more necessary.

Some rituals in the funeral. If "marriage" is a person's second life, then "death" is the end of all human life. Although our traditional funeral ceremony retains some feudal and backward things, "funeral ceremony" is a decent farewell to a person and the world, with such a ceremony, both the dead and the living will have an explanation in their hearts, otherwise, the dead will not be able to leave this world in an honorable way and the living will live in a long time in a kind of longing and repentance. Having a ceremony of mourning is good for both the dead and the living.

The rituals of some important festivals are also worthy of our inheritance, such as going to the graves to honor our ancestors on the Qingming Festival. I think this is part of the traditional culture and part of the culture of filial piety, the remembrance of ancestors, a manifestation of not forgetting the original heart and not forgetting one's roots, and an important testimony to the unceasing life of the Chinese nation. In addition, there are some rituals and customs of visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year that need to be inherited, as it is a powerful way to maintain blood ties and enhance kinship. Some manners in life to treat people. Some small manners in life, though not directly affecting a person's intelligence, can reflect a person's upbringing. For example, when you see a stranger, you should take the initiative to greet him or her, and when you have a guest, you should take the initiative to get up and greet him or her at the door, and so on. These details of life, may not be able to decide how much money you earn, but can decide how many people are willing to deal with you.
