The Rise and Development of Western Traditional Etiquette

Etiquette is a rule of communication between people, a language and a tool.

Due to the important source of etiquette-different religious beliefs, people who believe in different religions in the world observe different etiquette.

China is one of the four ancient civilizations, and the Chinese nation is the only civilization and nation that has been passed down for thousands of years.

China's etiquette began in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties and flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties. After continuous development and changes, it gradually formed a system.

Western society, the inheritors of several ancient civilizations, has been echoing China in the East.

After the darkness of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance finally came, which gave birth to capitalism and modern civilization, and produced modern technology and culture.

China and the West have completely different etiquette cultures.

With the acceleration of China's reform and opening-up and the increasing cross-border exchanges, the differences between Chinese and western etiquette culture are becoming more and more obvious, and the influence brought by these differences can not be ignored. It is necessary for us to understand these differences before the perfect integration of Chinese and western etiquette.

Chinese culture, also known as Chinese culture and Chinese civilization, is Chinese culture and Chinese culture.

Moreover, it has been circulating for a long time and has a wide area. The concept of cultural circle is also called "Chinese cultural circle".

China culture not only had a far-reaching influence on South Korea and Japan, but also on some countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia, such as the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and other countries and regions, and Zheng He's seven voyages to the West deepened this influence.

As a result, the East Asian cultural circle with China culture as the core has been formed.

With the prosperity of China's national strength and the improvement of its international status, some countries in the world, including Asia and Europe, have highly recognized and attached importance to China culture.

? China Culture was a magazine in Yan 'an period, the first issue of which was * * *, and it wrote important historical articles.

In the west, the word etiquette first appeared in French etiquette, which originally meant "passport in the court".

But as soon as you enter English, you have the meaning of etiquette, which means "the passport of interpersonal communication."

The history of western civilization also shows the history of human pursuit of etiquette and its evolution to a great extent.

In order to maintain and develop all kinds of interpersonal relationships except kinship and avoid "fighting" or "fighting", human beings have gradually formed various dynamic etiquette related to "fighting" and "fighting".

For example, in order to show that they have no weapons in their hands and let the other party feel that they have no malice, they created a gift of raising their hands and later evolved into a handshake.

In order to show friendship and respect, they are willing to "take off their hats" in front of each other, so they created a hat-taking ceremony.

Western culture is essentially individual culture.

The main feature of western culture is individuality, and its core problem lies in emphasizing individual freedom. Therefore, western culture can be called "individual culture".

The core of culture is the perception of ideas. In today's world, there are two different concepts, namely, the integrity of eastern culture and the individuality of western culture, which is the result of the development of human history.

Different political, economic and social environments have created different cultural concepts and produced different characteristics of eastern and western cultures.
