What is the meaning of Confucian etiquette, and what is the Confucian concept of "etiquette"

The study of etiquette is an idea put forward by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, which embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense.

Confucius constructed a complete ideological system of "morality and morality" through "benevolence" and "courtesy". The theory of benevolence embodies the spirit of human nature, while the theory of propriety embodies the spirit of ritual system, that is, the order and system in the modern sense.

Humanism is the eternal theme of mankind, which is applicable to any society, any era and any government, and order and institutional society are the basic requirements for establishing a civilized human society. This humanitarianism and order spirit of Confucius is the essence of China's ancient social and political thought.

The origin of Confucianism:

Confucianism's "Astronomical Learning of Drought and Flood" (Zhang Taiyan's language) is the most influential school in ancient China and the foundation of feudalism. Confucianism is a continuously developing, advancing with the times and high-spirited academic school, which can be called the backbone of the nation.

From about the 7th century BC, the feudal rule of the Zhou Dynasty began to decline. The teachers of the children of the royal family and some members of the royal family themselves are scattered among the people, teaching classics for a living, and some become masters of ceremonies for weddings, funerals, sacrifices or other ceremonies because they are familiar with etiquette. These people are called "Confucians".

Confucianism, also known as Confucianism, is a school of thought and an academic faction during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. Confucianism does not have the characteristics of establishing mysterious power as the core of civilization and controlling believers. On the contrary, Confucianism is a kind of thought with people as the core of civilization.
