The origin of etiquette:

Etiquette originated from sacrifice. The interpretation of the word "Li" in Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty is: "Things are blessed by the gods, and words are also heard." It means to put the agreed things into practice and show them to the gods for blessing. The word "Li" is a knowing word, and "Shi" refers to the gods. From this, it can be analyzed that the word "Li" is related to the ancient ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods.

The ancient sacrificial activities were not carried out at will, but in strict accordance with certain procedures and methods. Guo Moruo pointed out in "Ten Criticism Books": "Rites started from worshipping God, then extended to being a man, and then became the ritual system of auspicious, fierce, military, guest and Jia." Here we talked about the origin and development of etiquette.
