The Importance of Pupils' Civilized Etiquette

Etiquette is the basis for a person to stand on the society, achieve his career and get a better life. Many countries have special etiquette schools, most of which incorporate etiquette into basic education, so that children can learn etiquette as soon as they enter the school gate, so that children can develop good behavior habits from an early age and master the foundation of their careers. With China's accession to the WTO, international and domestic interpersonal communication is becoming more and more frequent, people's work and life will be more and more integrated into the international community, and the etiquette on various occasions has become more and more demanding. Etiquette has increasingly become an important symbol of personal accomplishment, national image and social civilization, and it is also a kind of accomplishment that a person must have in social communication.

First, the importance and necessity of civilized etiquette education

Civilized manners should be cultivated from an early age and form good habits. There is an old saying: "Less becomes nature, and habit becomes nature." The primary school stage is the most critical period of civilized etiquette education. However, today's phenomenon is worrying. Pupils are seriously lacking in civilized manners: some children don't know how to respect others, don't know how to be polite, don't know the definition of civilized manners, and have a vague understanding of civilized manners, which directly leads to their uncivilized behavior. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate and educate primary school students' manners.

(A) etiquette is the need to inherit civilization. China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, and the ancient Chinese nation has enjoyed the reputation of "State of Etiquette" since ancient times. The Chinese nation has a long history. In the long history of 5,000 years, it not only created splendid culture, but also formed the traditional virtues of ancient nations. In the profound ethical and cultural heritage, many excellent traditional etiquette norms still have strong vitality today and are valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. We know: when Kong Rong was a child, he made pears and gave his elders a good talk; Yue Fei asks the way and knows the etiquette, so that he can compete among the tinkers and ride the world. "Chengmen Sydney" is a model of respecting teachers and valuing morality. Laozi told us in the Tao Te Ching, "Be a man for one day and be moral for one day". All these fully reflect the etiquette and morality of China people. As the inheritors of the Chinese nation-children, they have the responsibility to inherit and carry forward the essence of the Chinese nation's 5,000-year-old culture, so as to make China's reputation as a country of etiquette worthy of the name.

(2) Etiquette is the need of human society. Whether a person's words and deeds meet the etiquette requirements has a great relationship with his position in society. Etiquette teaches others how to behave: when dealing with people, know how to respect others; Understanding the harmony of interpersonal relationships depends on good moral character and behavior habits, including being polite, honest and trustworthy, respecting the old and caring for the young, helping others, helping the poor, caring for public property, developing good hygiene habits, observing public order, obeying laws and regulations, and being kind to others. Good manners and customs are a kind of capital, which can be transformed into a person's inner character and sentiment and will affect a person's life development.

(3) Etiquette is the need of children's growth. A person who pays attention to self-cultivation and etiquette may become an excellent person, a useful person and a person with excellent moral character. Confucius said, "In the prosperous times, poetry is the foundation of ceremony and joy." Mencius also said: "Those who respect others will always respect others, and those who love others will always love others." The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus also said, "Politeness is the second sun for educated people". All these fully illustrate the importance of "ceremony". Teenagers and children are the future and hope of the motherland, so it is very important to strengthen the education of civilization and etiquette for primary school students. Today's children are not "a blank sheet of paper" since they were young, but colorful ones are printed in their minds, and the influence of the environment has polluted their hearts more or less. Although the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation are still being passed down, on the whole, there is indeed a weakening trend, especially for young children. Some people in school will be disrespectful, impolite and impolite; In society, people don't know how to address others, and even they are full of rude words. These phenomena have to arouse our deep thoughts. At the same time, the virtues of being kind to others and mutual benefit are fading in a considerable number of children. For the healthy growth of children, we must strengthen their education in manners and manners.
