Daily Life Etiquette Norms and Modern Enlightenment in The Book of Rites
The Book of Rites is an important book of laws and regulations in ancient China.It records the emergence,content and changes of the etiquette system in the pre-Qin period.Among them,there are many etiquette norms in daily life,which are roughly divided into three categories:one is the etiquette of appearance and behavior,including the appearance of dignity,the stability of be-havior,the appropriateness of clothing,the neatness of appearance,etc.;the second is the etiquette of daily home,including filial piety to parents,respect for elders,etc.;the third is the etiquette of communication with people,including the etiquette of receiving people and the etiquette of public occasions.From these etiquettes,the moral and spiritual connotations of honesty,filial piety and respect for others are reflected.These daily life etiquette norms and the humanistic spirit embodied in them still inspire our moral ed-ucation work at present.When we carry out moral education,we should pay attention to starting from small things,be good at making rules,and at the same time use etiquette culture to improve the effect of moral education.
