In the era when the hit drama awakens, everyone will bow in return. Why is the bow ceremony gradually disappearing now?

In the awakening era of hit dramas, there is a very common move, that is, bowing back. When a professor at Peking University gives a speech on the podium, he often bows to the students first to show respect, and the students will bow back. Chen Duxiu, Gu Hongming and others have always had differences in theory. When they express their views, they will bow first, and the other party will bow back in any state. This is an excellent tradition of our Chinese culture.

From the period of Confucius, we have emphasized the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Permanent Principles, respecting teachers and valuing morality. When a junior meets an elder teacher, someone often bows, and the other person will bow back. This is a cultural tradition, which represents the courtesy of China people since ancient times. However, with the development of society, we will find that in today's society, the behavior of bowing back is very rare, and this behavior is gradually diluted and blurred. The reason is that the transmission of our traditional culture is not done well. It is normal for people in the past to do so because they have been exposed to it since childhood, which is a tradition that our ancestors have always respected. It represents etiquette, represents culture, and shows the courtesy that we China people have engraved in our bones. However, with the development of modern educational technology, it seems that you can still see it in only a few places. For example, before class, students bow to the teacher and the teacher returns the gift. However, this is only a form. After the teacher bowed, the students were lazy and scattered, some even didn't want to stand up, some even yawned, thinking about finishing this action quickly, and some even laughed at others' behavior, which was the reason for the lack of traditional etiquette. Only the teacher attaches importance to it, and strictly requires each student to understand why he should bow back and what this bow back means. Only when students really understand, the etiquette of bowing back will really take root in their hearts. Another reason is that we don't pay enough attention to traditional culture. For thousands of years, there have been many excellent cultures in China, but only a small part of them have been preserved by us, and there are still a lot of excellent essences that we need to tap and inherit. In The Awakening Age, we will constantly show our bows to reward the audience. This is a kind of culture, transmission and cultural confidence.
