In ancient China, clenching fist was a ritual. Why didn't it happen later?

Later, I couldn't do boxing ceremonies. First, the first thing is trouble. The rules of boxing ceremony are very special. There are many requirements, such as whether the left hand holds the right hand or the right hand holds the left hand, the elbow bending range, the size of the foot crossing, the distance between the hands and the chest and so on. Even men and women hold boxing ceremonies in different ways.

If you make a mistake when saluting, it is disrespectful to others. It was originally a festive gift, and it made you a gift when it was unlucky. How embarrassing. So later, this troublesome fist-shaking ceremony was gradually eliminated and replaced by some simple western-style handshake ceremonies.

The inheritance of culture is to get rid of its dross and take its essence. In the five thousand years of cultural heritage, we should study hard. We can understand the complicated etiquette, which is one of our cultures after all, but it is unrealistic to continue to implement it in this rapidly developing society. It takes a long time for you to perform a ceremony, which is unrealistic in a society where time is money. ?

Besides, we don't wear skirts and dresses now. We wear suits and modern clothes. If you go to the boxing ceremony, your present clothes will look neither fish nor fowl. You think if you are wearing a suit, you should step forward with your left foot, bend over with your left hand and your right hand, and even the degree of hand bending and bending should be designed as a salute, which is ugly. Today's clothing also makes us abandon the ancient boxing ceremony. ?

We can't abandon the ancient culture, but we should also understand it, but we can't completely inherit it and keep pace with the times. Nowadays, the clothes and people's minds are not suitable for boxing. We just need to know some culture.
