Nowadays, with the rapid development of the Internet, I believe many people have seen all kinds of New Year greetings all over the country. Among all these New Year greetings, Shandong's New Year greetings are quite popular, which has also aroused heated discussion among many netizens. Why do you say that? Because many people don't understand, why do you kowtow during the New Year? I believe all the fellow villagers in Shandong know this and kowtow during the New Year. Of course, with the progress of the times, some small changes have taken place in recent years. In some places, kowtowing is no longer popular. It's usually just to say hello. If you have to kowtow, your elders will definitely not stop you.
So this topic has caused a heated discussion. Many netizens think this is feudalism. Personally, I don't think so. After all, this is our tradition and a big part of China's tradition. After all, Shandong is very polite. Do you know where the most etiquette-oriented provinces in China are? That must be Shandong. Why do you say that? Because there is a great China here. Although there is no emperor in Shandong, there is a philosopher recognized by the world. This man is Confucius. I believe many people know. Confucius not only made contributions to our country, but also made many contributions to the world.
Confucius has been recognized not only by the people of China, but also by the people of the United States, because Confucius represents education, and he has achieved a generation and our modern education. When it comes to education, many people think of Confucius. Confucius was really a great man, who made many contributions to ancient times and made many achievements. Everyone should know the country of etiquette, and this is our China. But in Shandong, China, etiquette is the most exquisite, and the etiquette here is the ceremony at that time. Confucius had such a dream that he would restore this etiquette. He spent his whole life thinking about restoring etiquette and propagating his educational thoughts.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was in chaos. At that time, society was chaotic, etiquette was chaotic, and order was even more chaotic. As a result, the world is very chaotic. Confucius was also in a hurry at this time. If he wants to make some contribution to the country, he wants to promote Zhou etiquette, which is also his biggest dream. So what's Zhou Li? This is a strict etiquette, which contains a lot of contents, such as bowing and kowtowing just now, all from etiquette. Zhou Li has been passed down to the present and has been recognized by people.
Friends who know Confucius know that Confucius has been practicing this etiquette all his life, and Shandong people know that kowtowing and bowing during the New Year is a traditional culture. However, a traditional culture comes from the ceremony of Zhou, not the so-called feudalism, which is the real etiquette. Of course, this is also a custom in Shandong, not a feudalism rumored by the Internet, so when you understand the customs of various places, you must make it clear and never be misled by the Internet. If you want to know more about customs, you can go to the local area to get in touch with the people, so that you can learn more about the real customs and culture than what you heard.
However, over the years, kowtowing has become less and less common. Now many people are becoming more and more convenient. Because life has improved a lot, few people pay attention to these details. It is more practical to buy something for the elderly or elders than to kowtow. I believe many young people think so. After all, the times are developing rapidly now, and not many people pay attention to that. Of course, the etiquette in Shandong is still in place, and all aspects are very enthusiastic.
Seeing this, everyone knows something about this province in our country. Although there is no emperor here, there is a great hero. Confucius not only contributed a lot to the education in China, but also contributed to the education in the world, winning the respect of all countries and the appreciation of all people.
