China is a country of etiquette, generations are the tradition of the Chinese nation, Chinese influenced by Confucian culture, since ancient times, pay attention to the difference between respect and inferiority, the elder and the young are orderly, the ancients strictly abide by the generation system, please be safe, respect the smoke, give way, give way, sit in accordance with the generations, this is the ancient etiquette.
Generations are very important to some families, some traditional families sometimes take names to see the generations, talking about generations is respect for others, but also a manifestation of etiquette, and etiquette is the form of communication between people.
Many people think that the elders should be older people, in fact, this is not the case, the family and family situation is not the same, sometimes, according to the generation of the elders may be younger than some people, such as some parents old to have children, at that time, the granddaughter may be born, the uncle will be younger than the niece.
Don't feel embarrassed by generations, choose to accept a reasonable generational difference, in fact, many people have generational differences, to accept the traditions of the Chinese nation, this is the accumulation of history and culture, calmly face this generational difference.
In informal occasions, if you are afraid of getting the eyes of others to explore, you can not shout out the name loudly, normal conversation can be, but the formal occasion, is to pay attention to the generations, the person who should be called, even if this person is younger than you but your elders, this is the embodiment of respect for others, but also the embodiment of understanding politeness, if you feel embarrassed, do not call each other, others may think that you are not polite, and even affect your parents.
With the development of time, the concept of generational division has also been diluted a lot, and if you do not understand the generational division of both sides, you can call each other by age, which is also understandable.
Generations are the inheritance of the Chinese nation's five thousand years of culture, to look at it with the correct mentality, do not feel embarrassed or difficult to accept, in the long river of history, generations have not disappeared, it proves that it is an excellent culture, it increases the feelings of a family, but also makes people connected with people.
