The ceremony is not floating on the surface of the heart but awaken us to kick up a cloud of dust, for themselves, for others, respect for life.

In the latest hit movie "ace agent 2", actor Colin Fels has a pet phrase: "people rude, no stand.". The word "Manners Maketh Man" shapes the British gentleman temperament of the whole movie. In fact, martial arts and China gangster films, from "Huang Feihong" to "Infernal Affairs", the core is nothing more than a "ceremony".

"Ceremony" is the key to understanding Chinese and Chinese culture. According to legend, three thousand years ago in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Duke of Zhou ritual music, put into the etiquette program, every level of society. Subsequently, Confucius and his seventy-two Xian, and Mencius, Xunzi and others advocated and perfected, civilization become the core of Confucian culture. The Western Han Dynasty, "Zhou", "Yili" "book of Rites" not only become the ancient literati classics, but also become the basis for the ceremony of dynasties.

Qian Muwei once said, "the core idea of China is propriety.". "In ancient times, to the emperor of heaven, people next to weddings, must comply with relevant etiquette, even people with people, how to greet, to dinner, provisions are polite.

In September 10, 2016, Xi'an, Han clothing lovers dressed in "Hanfu" street, attracted onlookers. But this "Hanfu" and the way of walking, I am afraid do not accord with the rites. Graph / visual China

Salute, such as instrument, reflected in all aspects of ancient life

Eating, walking, etiquette standards. Filial piety to parents, there is also a sense of ritual requirements.

For example, in the "book of Rites" Qu Li made detailed "table manners": "Wu Tuan Wu rice, put rice soup, do not flow, not the food, no bone, no anti fish, do not throw with dog bone, do not be solid, rice. Millet meal not to chopsticks, no Ta soup, not thick soup, do not barbed teeth, not minced meat soup. "

For today's people, do not put the food in the hands back to the food, drink soup, do not pour more than, do not eat the bones of the sound, similar provisions may also be done. As for not to use the hand to the hot rice, do not re adjust the master of the good soup, eat the soup, not even the soup of the dishes are not chewing on swallowing, etc., so requested, some people I'm afraid unheard of.

Not only the diet of the ceremony, the ancient people sit down, walk, have the corresponding requirement of etiquette.

The sitting two seats or kneeling in bed, sitting on heels on the buttocks, to sit up, put the waist straight, this is called kneel. Kneel can pay tribute, such as "Warring Reichert" said Qin kneeling and Xie "". In ancient times with out spread legs is not considered respectful sitting.

What is said to sit buttocks with out spread legs, a biped, stretched forward, knees slightly bent, like a dustpan. "Chankuots'e - Yan CE" said Jing Ke Qin Wang does not, "do not have self-knowledge, smile on the post, to scold, just sit with one's legs stretched out" Jing Ke showed contempt for the enemy.

Xi'an Han nationality enthusiasts collective parade, organizers said, hoping to use the way to show the beauty of Chinese clothing, wake up people's awareness and love of traditional culture. But obviously, the wrong clothing and walking etiquette, the resulting recognition is not correct. Graph / visual China

As for walking, there are also etiquette norms. As the Western Zhou Dynasty when people wear jade group, is used to constrain human walking posture.

People will set jade hanging in the body, when walking can't make jade collision sound. The higher the level of the human body, the jade group is longer, walking pace more relaxed grace. Jade group from another angle, when jade, is not no sound, but absolutely can not easily sound. The ancients believe that people who jingle all day long are not worth respecting.

You can't imagine how much modern jade ornaments will be.

Adult and marriage should have a sense of ceremony

All the old etiquette life, now can be simple, even married to such a life event, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau brought a card is married. As for the crown, has now completely disappeared. In ancient times, the ceremony and wedding is crucial in life ceremony.

Guan Li, namely adult ceremony. The noble man at the age of twenty by his father in the ancestral temple presided over the ceremony. The man is bowed before the crown, the family prior to the selected date and crown crown guests, namely, divination divination. When a guest for the crown crown three times: the first black cloth crown, said the crown from a man's privilege; and that the crown from the flap, to military service; and finally said the crown from the Jazz Benten, have the right to participate in worship.

The crown after the guests toast, to meet the end after his mother, then went to see aunt sister brother, finally wearing a hat dress with a gift to the monarch, bureaucrats and Mr. xiang. Mr. Xiang, a retired returning officers. After the crown a toast to guests gifts, gift.

In this "Shuoyuan" said Guan Li is the meaning of "inner virtue, by rite", is "not only to virtue, and to let people", for that is one of the important contents of the crown, is appearance posture, social rhetoric education. For example, in addition to the crown before, by the praise for the crown and the crown of silk hair, hair wrap. That is clean, the guests have to first order to wash their hands to the West ancestral temple, sit down and on to the crown hall before a crown on the head, hand bag hair silk centralizer.

After the crown, nobles must wear crowns in some occasions, otherwise they will be considered inappropriate. The first man noble crown can take a wife.

From "Yili, Shi Hun Li" visible, the ancient marriage must go through six procedures, which are mining satisfied and asked the name of Najib, please sign, period, also known as six, including pro Ying, and the most important Ying Na syndrome. "The book of Rites" about faint meaning Pro Ying after the bride and groom "prison food, hekan and Yin". A gourd gourd is divided into two Jin, the bride and groom each hold a gourd and Yin (wine, called hekan mouthwash). The marital cup drink, it is evolved from hekan.

It is said that the wedding, until the Tang dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, six were simplified as NACE, satisfied dollars (equivalent to the ancient ritual in Najib), pro Ying three ceremony, has been extended to the Qing dynasty. There is a saying, the ancient wedding groups, just as prescribed aristocratic literati, people often combined with the six streamline.

The sense of ceremony is respect for oneself and life

The ancients said that "rites are hidden in the utensil", that is to say, rites must be carried out by means of implements. The ritual has a wide range, mainly for food, jade and other musical instruments. According to the literature and archaeological discoveries, people understand, food ritual usually Ding, GUI, Zun, Jue, jar; the main instruments are drums, bells, harp, Sheng; jade, jade, Guyana, Zhang, Hu Juan, etc..

In the evolution of the times, a lot of ritual has been endowed with new meanings. For example, the original tripod, only in the worship with the cooking of meat and meat storage. Since the "Yu cast Jiuding" the legend of Xia and Shang, Wednesday generation Ding country as Jack, or the establishment of capital Dynasty also had "Dingding" said. In addition, Zhou Daiguojun, the princes and ministers in the major celebrations or accept the reward should be cast Ding, in order to record the grand occasion.

"The" special stamps "stepmother Wu ding".

There are some vessels, although not as Ding, eventually became the founding jack. But they are in the flow of things, but also radiate new beauty and life, such as cup.

Zhu Junsheng "Shuowen Tongxun Dingsheng" said: "GUSHENG injection Gengruo cup, wine cup, for ever. It can be seen that the cup is an ancient wine maker. The depiction of Wang Xizhi "Lanting Pavilion sequence" in "Pipa" picture, tells the story of another magical cup".

The so-called "Pipa", is to choose a quiet elegance, in order to sit on men of literature and writing a small stream, a home filled with wine cups in the upstream, downstream, the glass ended in front of someone, who is taking the drink, and then take the tipsy chant poems. "Pipa" not only enrich the cup uses, also let drinking it, a little more elegance and ritual sense.

Perhaps for the ancient Chinese, salute as early as the integration of their flesh and blood. For example, the ancient taxi meeting, not simply slap on the shoulder polite phrases.

"Yili" in "Shixiang Jianli" an article, describes a scholar first to see similar position taxi etiquette. For example, for a party can not rush to go, to "life" in advance to convey meaning. "Fate" is the meaning of "life", which refers to the person who will communicate with each other. For a party agreed to by the owner of one party, with "Zhi" (see gift) to visit, to master and master gate can not meet directly, but through the "champagne" (to help people master salute) and master dialogue. As the owner of one of, if not by refuse "Zhi", also is to accept the gift, it is arrogant, so to "speech". If you want to meet two people, then you need to go back, please return, resignation, recipient and other steps. Two people really need to master after the meeting, the next visit, and put the receipt of "Zhi" to each other. One is, a A hedge between keeps friendship green. feeling.

Ming Du Jin "play" guttu.

The rising and falling month, roaring age time rolls on, the wheels forward, including "a lot of ancient ritual ceremony, is to meet people" people give up, some people even think they are covered with dust, is a decadent. What is the significance of the ritual ceremony in ancient times to us immersed in modern life?

Maybe we don't need to be exactly the same as the ancients, but at least we should make life more ritual. The ceremony is not floating on the surface of the heart but awaken us to kick up a cloud of dust, for themselves, for others, respect for life.

In "reading a book" micro solar term, Zhu Wei talked about the generations of literati poetry said: "(they) was usually the one day become flavorfully, regardless of dynasties, even if the war is not affected, a generation of people who return to earth, and from birth, they support a great nation, flavorfully life and growth in nature. "Maybe the sense of ritual is the same. As Zhu Wei said: "no matter when and where, we cannot have the dinner on New Year's Eve, new year fireworks, the tomb of the grave, the mid autumn moon, without them, there is no our days. "
