Let Chinese etiquette influence the world
Let the light of etiquette illuminate every corner of the world!
In the past, people often said that "the state has the state law, the family has the family rules", "no rules are not squares", etc., which means to pay attention to the role of family rules. Nowadays, many children have developed some lazy human nature, good and bad habits due to excessive pampering by their elders, while children with strict tutoring have cultivated the excellent qualities of hard work, modesty and enterprising from an early age, so what are the contents of family rules and tutoring in traditional etiquette?
1. In the past, people had unwritten rules about family rules: no fireworks and willow alleys, no smoking and alcohol, no talking backstage with elders, etc.
2. In the 1950s, every household in Beijing signed a family treaty, with common contents including: patriotism and law-abiding, solidarity and mutual assistance, good neighborhood relations, and no violation of the law.
3. Modern family rules are not as strict as in the past, but they also require family members to be honest and trustworthy, abide by discipline and law, respect the elderly and love children, and be diligent and thrifty.
4. Confucius: If you don't learn poetry, you can't speak; if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand. How can you speak without learning poetry? Not learning etiquette and how to behave, learning poetry and learning etiquette, talking about reading and doing things, these are two very important issues in life.
5. Zhuge Liang: The Book of Commandments is quiet to cultivate oneself and frugality to cultivate virtue. There is no clarity without tranquility, and there is no distance without tranquility. Cultivate one's own self-cultivation with tranquility and cultivate one's character with frugality. It is impossible to clarify the ambition without tranquility and widowhood, and it is impossible to achieve lofty goals without excluding external interference.
6. Ouyang Xiu: "Ouyang Yongshu Collection", "Jade is not sought, not a tool; people do not learn, do not know." If jade is not carved, it cannot be made into utensils; if people do not learn, they will not understand the truth.
