In the process of eating, the host holds chopsticks to persuade the guests to eat, and then the guests can move chopsticks. As the saying goes, "don't try to eat with people first." In ancient times, there were a series of eating rules, such as "don't sigh when eating", "don't rub your hands when you are not full", "don't throw your bones at the dog" and so on.

When paying homage to gifts, you should not only respect, recite congratulations, bow down, but also have gifts. The ceremony to celebrate hanging is mainly held in major events in life. A person's life goes through several stages: birth, adulthood, marriage, birthday celebration and death. Around these life nodes, a series of life etiquette has been formed. The reproduction of children and grandchildren is a family event, and the birth ceremony is naturally grand and lively.

The age of modern adult ceremony is 18 years old, and the school holds a collective adult ceremony to emphasize the adult consciousness of young people. Marriage is a major event in life, and society attaches great importance to it. There are six wedding procedures, the so-called "Six Ceremonies of the Duke of Zhou", that is, receiving gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, inviting guests and welcoming relatives. The Song Dynasty was simplified into three ceremonies: receiving gifts, collecting coins and welcoming relatives. The climax of the wedding is to meet the bride in person, and the groom will go to the bride's house. After New Year's greetings, the newlyweds will go to the bridal chamber to have a swearing-in ceremony and a wedding ceremony.

The ceremony of hanging he qing showed the spirit of social cooperation and the atmosphere of social unity. The etiquette spirit of China people is to love others, and the etiquette principle is to feel inferior and respect others. When dealing with people, we should keep a low profile, be modest and respect others, so as to win their respect. If a person with high status condescends to make friends with people with lower status, it will get good social effects. "If you want to do something good, respect it first." Respecting others is not only a polite gesture, or just a ceremonial expression, but also a heartfelt respect for others. If there is no respect from the heart, etiquette will become a false set, which does not meet the new standards of etiquette and righteousness. The principles of etiquette and justice, such as sincere respect and humility in customs and habits, and self-cultivation in harmonious coexistence with people, are still worth advocating in contemporary society. Of course, the inheritance of our etiquette and customs is a complex issue, which needs to be carefully analyzed and followed.
