The hierarchy is strict, and men and women are different. Focus on family.

The so-called etiquette in ancient times includes a wide range of contents and forms, including political system, imperial court decrees, offering sacrifices to gods, praying for good fortune in drought and flood, imperial examinations in schools, military campaigns, administrative division, building of houses and tombs, and even food, clothing, housing, transportation, weddings, funerals and ceremonies.

China's etiquette culture not only played a great role in the Chinese nation, but also had a far-reaching impact on the world. For example, China's traditional etiquette culture has been preserved in South Korea and Japan, and continues to play an active role in social life, but its wastage rate is very alarming. In people's interpersonal communication, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to show respect with elegant language and manners.

As the most common and grand wedding and birthday ceremony among the people, it has increasingly lost its national characteristics and rapidly westernized; Christmas and Valentine's Day are increasingly becoming the main festivals for young people in China. As a symbol of national culture, once the etiquette and festivals are all westernized, it shows that the standard culture has been abandoned by the people and its demise will not be too far away. China people and people of insight should be aware of their worries.
