Chinese etiquette culture and China traditional etiquette civilization

Our motherland is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years of traditional culture, and is known as "the state of etiquette and civilization". China people are also famous for their manners, harmony and modesty. Etiquette civilization, as an extremely important part of China traditional culture, is very rich in content.

China's traditional culture has always attached importance to groups, political ethics and interpersonal relationships, which has become an important feature that distinguishes China culture from western culture. China traditional culture pays special attention to the ethical relationship between people, which is not only reflected in China's highly developed social ethics, but also reflected in the richness and completeness of the etiquette culture system.

According to Wang Guowei's research, the word "li" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is like offering two pieces of jade in a vessel to show respect for ancestors or ghosts and gods. Ancient ancestors were puzzled by natural phenomena such as wind and rain, thunder and lightning, flood and earthquake, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, the birth and death of animals and plants, and their own birth and death, and could not grasp and control them, so they decided that there was a force beyond reality and nature, namely ghosts and gods. All the mysterious miracles that can't be explained, all the frightening phenomena of naked panic are driven by the dominant forces attributed to the will of ghosts and gods. In order to pray for ghosts and gods to eliminate disasters and bring blessings to the world, ancient ancestors offered them the best food, tried their best to satisfy ghosts and gods, and made them tolerant and merciful to others.
