The Four Worship Ceremony is the most solemn ceremony in China's traditional etiquette. According to the Ming Dynasty's "The Boy's Gift", "Worship everyone's law. A little retreat. Have another drink. That is to crawl. Press the ground with both hands together. Kneel with your left foot first. Bend your right foot twice. Nod your head to the ground. Get up at once. Start with your right foot. Put your hands together on your knees. Start with your left foot. Or bow and then bow. Thin and slow is respect. Can't worry. "

At present, there are two kinds of people, including South Korea, who worship. One is to get up every time, which is called diligent worship by the people, and the other is to get up once and four times, which is called lazy worship by the people.
