Chinese traditional etiquette knowledge are those

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, etiquette, honesty and shame.

All the other words are an extension of these eight words.

Specifically as follows:

China has five thousand years of civilization, known as the "state of etiquette", the Chinese people are also known for their polite and courteous appearance. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, the civilization of etiquette has had a wide and far-reaching influence on the historical development of Chinese society, and its content is very rich. Etiquette covers a wide range of areas and permeated almost every aspect of ancient society.

Ancient Chinese rituals and ceremonies are actually two different concepts. Rites" is a system, rules and a kind of social consciousness concept; "ritual" is the specific expression of "rites", which is based on the provisions and contents of "rites", "rites" and "rituals", "rites" and "rituals". It is a systematic and complete program based on the provisions and contents of the "rites".

In ancient China, etiquette was derived from the clan system and the hierarchical relationship between the nobility and the inferiority in order to meet the needs of the society at that time, and thus it was characterized by the characteristics and limitations of the era in which it was created. Nowadays, modern etiquette is very different from that of the ancient times, so we must abandon those etiquette norms that serve the exploiting class, and focus on selecting the traditional civilized etiquette that is still of positive and universal significance today, such as respecting the elderly, honoring the virtuous, being appropriate in etiquette, treating people politely, and having a neat appearance, etc., and then transform and pass them on. This is of modern value for cultivating good personal qualities, coordinating harmonious interpersonal relations, shaping a civilized social atmosphere, and building a socialist spiritual civilization.

It is described as follows:

I. Respect for the Elderly and the Virtuous

Since the primitive society to the feudal society in China, the political and ethical relationship between people are all linked by the blood relationship of the clan and the family, so they respect the ancestors in the family and respect the elders in the society. Since ancient Chinese society respected the rule of etiquette and benevolence, honoring the virtuous has become a historical requirement.

Meng Zi said, "If you honor the wise in old age, and if you have a handsome man in your position, you will have a celebration" (Note: "Meng Zi - Zhuo Zi Shi"). "Celebration" is a reward. In ancient times, this traditional etiquette played an important role in the formation of warm interpersonal relationships, as well as orderly and harmonious ethical relationships, both in the past and in modern times.

When it comes to honoring the elderly, this is a major feature of traditional Chinese culture. In ancient times, respect for the elderly did not remain only in ideology and preaching, nor did it stop at the lives of ordinary people. From the monarch, the scholarly class to the entire official and gentry class, they all practiced it and formed a set of rules and rituals to honor the elderly.

The Book of Rites records: "In the ancient way, fifty years of age were not to be used as a disciple, and the birds were to be given to the elders" (Note: Ritual Records - Sacrificial Rituals). That is to say, more than fifty years old people do not have to go hunting, but in the distribution of prey to get a generous share. Some ancient books also set clear requirements for the volume of voice when talking to elders. For example, the Yumeng Shiyuan (养蒙便读) says: "When serving one's relatives and elders, one's voice should be easy and solemn, and one should not shout and yell because of trivial matters" (Note: Yumeng Shiyuan (养蒙便读)). The Disciple's Rules also say: "It is not appropriate to be heard, but not to be heard".

All in all, from kings and aristocrats down to the common people, all must follow certain rules, and use various ways to express filial piety and respect for the elderly, as an important measure of a person's cultivation.

A society of any kind needs to respect the elderly. Not only because the old people have deep experience, wide knowledge, experience, long labor time, great contribution to society, deserve to be respected; at the same time, they are physically and mentally poor, need young people's thoughtfulness, care and help. As a courteous modern youth, the elderly and the elderly, should do: the road encounter active humility, take the initiative to give up their seats, in stores, theaters and other public **** place, should try to take into account for the elderly to create convenient conditions.

On honoring the virtuous, there is an allusion to the Three Kingdoms, called the "Three Gu Gu". It is said that Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's talent, to ask him to help themselves to fight the world, they are not tired of personally to Zhuge Liang living in the grass room to ask him to come out of the mountain. Again and again, Zhuge Liang agreed. From then on, Zhuge Liang's talent and strategy can be fully realized, for Liu Bei's cause "bowing to exhaustion, and dying".

Looking at the history of ancient China, most monarchs who have been successful have attached great importance to respecting and employing the wise, and regarded it as a decisive factor for the safety and security of the country. Usually do not respect the virtuous, to the emergency, virtuous talent will not share the worries of the country. It is not the case that the wise and talented do not think about the country, but the country is slow to recognize the wise and forgetful of the wise and talented, so that "the one who can survive through his country has never existed before" (Note: Mozi - Kissing the Scholarship).

Today we advocate the development of the ancient "respect for the gift of wisdom", must be given to the content of the new modern concept of talent, is to respect knowledge, respect for talent.

Today's society, all kinds of competition is getting more and more intense. All kinds of competition, in the final analysis is the competition for talent. As large as the country, small to the company's enterprises, to maintain an advantageous position in the fierce competition, we must have a strong talent team. Only from the ideological concepts to specific actions to respect and care for talent, so that society as a whole to form a respect for knowledge, respect for talent, the formation of a good environment, the formation of a strong enough talent team, in order to be invincible.

Second, the ceremony is appropriate

The Chinese people have always paid attention to the appropriate form, to express the richness of people's inner feelings. When it comes to major festivals and important events, there are many conventions and customary rules. For example, if you get a good harvest, you have to sing and celebrate; if you get a disaster, you have to pray to the gods for blessings. Over time, many festivals and rituals have been formed, such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chung Yeung Festival, and so on, and almost every festival has its own specific rituals and customs.

In ancient times, marriage, mourning and festivals and other activities are treated as a major event in the life of the community, the etiquette of the provisions of the extraordinarily detailed and thorough, from clothing, utensils to specifications, procedures and demeanor of the orientation, there are specific provisions.
