Section 1 Origin and Development of Etiquette

First, the origin and development of Chinese etiquette

(A) the origin of Chinese etiquette

There are different opinions about the origin of ceremony. To sum up, there are five origins: first, the etiquette of the gods; Second, ceremony is the unity of heaven and earth; Third, courtesy comes from human nature; Fourth, courtesy is the product of the contradiction between human nature and environment; Fifth, courtesy comes from reason and comes from vulgarity.

1, theoretically speaking, the appearance of ceremony is the need of human beings to coordinate the contradiction between subjective and objective.

First of all, the appearance of ceremony is to maintain the "human order" of nature. In order to survive and develop, human beings must struggle with nature in the form of social groups and depend on each other. People's sociality makes people interdependent and restrictive. In group life, there are differences between men, women and children, which is not only a natural interpersonal order, but also a social order that needs to be recognized, guaranteed and maintained by all members. The internal relations faced by human beings must be properly handled, so people gradually accumulated and naturally agreed on a series of "human relations order", which is the initial ceremony.

Secondly, it stems from the need of human beings to seek a dynamic balance between satisfying their own desires and realizing them. The pursuit of desire is human instinct. In the process of pursuing and realizing desires, contradictions and conflicts will inevitably arise between people. In order to avoid these contradictions and conflicts, it is necessary to carry out the ceremony of "stopping desire and controlling chaos". ceremony

2. From the specific ceremony, the ceremony originated from the sacrificial activities of primitive religion.

Sacrificial activities in primitive religions are the earliest and simplest "rituals" with the main contents of offering sacrifices to heaven and worshipping God. These sacrificial activities gradually improved the corresponding norms and systems in the historical development, and formally formed a sacrificial ceremony. With the gradual deepening of mankind's understanding of various relationships between nature and society, it is no longer possible to meet the growing spiritual needs of mankind and adjust the increasingly complex realistic relationship by offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven, earth and ghosts. Therefore, from the content to the form, from the initial ceremony to all kinds of etiquette in various fields of society, people have extended a series of behaviors in serving the gods and praying for blessings to various interpersonal activities.
