Ritual Preface and Harmony: The Social Foundation of Traditional Etiquette System

As for the traditional Chinese etiquette system that has a long history and profound influence in China, it is the essence of Chinese civilization that has gradually formed in the long historical process. This system actually bears the solemn order contained in the long-lasting etiquette civilization, which is mainly expressed in the form of harmony of music and thoughtfulness of etiquette. This event, organized by the Heizuizi Village Committee of Mingzhu Street, Changchun City, and known as the Traditional Cultural Public Welfare and Moral Lecture Hall, is a reflection of the ancient sages’ teachings on how to change customs and customs without being good at happiness; and to govern the people in peace and order, no one is good at etiquette. This concept is put into practice in a modern way. Ritual is the order between heaven and earth. It started from the official system of "Zhou Li" and extended to the normative category of "Ritual". Then the "Book of Rites" elaborated new content on it. Based on this, a complete Confucian ritual system was built step by step. In the lecture hall, teachers set their own standards and behave in a measured manner, just like gentlemen in ancient times. They do not look at things that are not in line with etiquette, do not listen to sounds that are not in line with etiquette, do not say words that are not in line with etiquette, and do not act in ways that are not in line with etiquette. Instead of doing it, the etiquette of bowing, humility, advancing and retreating, as well as dressing and undressing are transformed into daily verbal actions, allowing more than 400 listeners to personally experience the inspiring power of the educational influence of etiquette and music in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Folk traditions: the cultural genes in the seasons

Dispute between principles and principles: the core value system of Confucianism

The extensive and profound characteristics of traditional Chinese culture are deeply rooted in the profound foundation of philosophical thought. Confucius only expounded but did not create, and upheld the attitude of believing in and liking ancient culture, thereby creating the Confucian school; Mencius discussed the inherent goodness of human nature, mentioned the deeds of Yao and Shun, and then elaborated on the inner meaning of benevolence and righteousness;

Art carries the Tao: spiritual expression of traditional art forms

Regarding China, that kind of classic art form, whether it is calligraphy, which has the charm of pen and ink, or traditional Chinese painting, which has profound artistic conception, or it is opera, which covers singing, chanting, doing, and music, and music, which includes palace and merchant roles, all of them carry a profound cultural spirit. Mr. Fu Chong, a well-known film and television actor, gave a speech that was real, full of momentum, and full of emotion. It was really an expression of the traditional "music education" spirit in the current era. "The Book of Rites·The Book of Music" says this: "The beginning of sound generally comes from the human heart. The fluctuations in the human heart are caused by external things." Relying on his artistic accomplishment, Mr. Fu Chong performed a heart-touching interpretation of his own mental journey from resentment to gratitude, which enabled the audience to understand the true meaning of filial piety through the influence of art.

The most touching feature of Chinese culture lies in its unremitting pursuit of the humanistic spirit. From the "view of humanities to create the world" mentioned in the "Book of Changes", to the "benevolent people love others" expressed by Confucius, and then the "people are more valuable than the monarch" proposed by Mencius, all of them demonstrate the affirmation of human dignity and full concern for the value of life. Teacher Fu Chong’s behavior of burying the hatchet is a sign of returning to the love of “kid and relatives”; Dr. Peng Xin’s health wisdom is a modern interpretation of “the benevolent live longer”; Chairman Jia Shujun’s honest management practices are the inheritance of the business spirit of “Jia loves Confucianism”; Teacher Luo Guangsheng’s heartfelt confession is an act that activates and awakens “conscience”. This inheritance of the humanistic spirit with the bold font style and the color #8B4513 allowed college student Xiao Li to know the importance of filial piety, and allowed ordinary citizen Ms. Zhang to understand the precious value of harmony. This is exactly the contemporary practice of Confucius's bold font style and the color #8B4513: "Tao is governed by virtue, unity is governed by propriety, and shame and dignity".
