Traditional civilized etiquette hand-written report material 1: Chinese etiquette "left" is top
In daily life It is very common for us to mistake where we should be. But this kind of inadvertent mistake sometimes makes everyone unhappy. The family of grandparents and grandchildren eats around the table, and the grandparents usually sit in front of them with respect. If you squeeze the elderly into a corner, it is a reversal of dignity and inferiority. So, in China, where is the place of honor in etiquette? For example, if two people are juxtaposed on the left and right, who is honored? Who is next? Since ancient times, our country has generally given priority to the left, but in the etiquette popular in the world today, it is completely different, just the opposite of us. , most countries put the right side up. Since ancient times, it has been popular in our country to respect the left. According to the ancient book "The Book of Changes", "Male is yang, woman is yin; the back is yang, the abdomen is yin; the top is yang and the bottom is yin; the left is yang and the right is yin." Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Biography of Mr. Wei" said that Mr. Wuji of Wei drove to invite the hermit Hou Ying, "sit down, the prince rode from the chariot, left empty, and welcomed Hou Ying of Yimen." The seat on the left side of the car was vacant, waiting for Hou Ying to take his seat. "Virtuous left" has now become our commonly used idiom "virtually left to wait".
It is common in my country's feudal society that men are superior to women, so in real life, men are often on the left and women are on the right, that is, the left is regarded as higher than the right. Some feudal dynasties had left and right prime ministers, and the left prime minister was higher than the right prime minister. This is a ritual that has been handed down for thousands of years. At present, our country's non-foreign-related etiquette activities still follow the traditional etiquette practice of "high on the left and low on the right". When the National People's Congress, the State Council, etc. hold meetings and ceremonial activities, the left is the top.

Traditional Civilized Etiquette Handwritten Report Material 2: Etiquette Story" The origin of "host"
We often hear the word "host" in reports of various activities or competitions. Where does the word "host" come from? Host: generally refers to reception or banquet. The owner; from "Zuo Zhuan: The Thirty Years of Duke Xi": "If you leave Zheng as your host, your luggage will come and go, even if he is tired and sleepy, you will not be harmed." The word "host" first came from the Spring and Autumn Period. an allusion. In 630 AD, the allied forces of Jin and Qin surrounded the capital of Zheng. Zheng Wengong asked for help from his veteran minister Zhu Zhiwu. Zhu Zhiwu thought for a long time and decided to enter a dangerous situation and use his eloquence to find a way out.
That night, Zhu Zhiwu asked someone to hang him from the top of the city with a rope when it was dark, and met with Duke Mu of Qin in private. Jin and Qin were two big countries at that time. Although the coalition forces surrounded Zheng this time, they often fought openly and secretly for their own interests. Zhu Zhiwu said to Qin Mugong: "The coalition forces of Qin and Jin are attacking the State of Zheng. I am afraid that the State of Zheng cannot be saved. But the destruction of the State of Zheng may not be of any benefit to your country. Because geographically speaking, Qin and Zheng are separated from each other. With the Jin State, it may be difficult for your country to cross the Jin State and control the Zheng State. In the end, it will be the Jin State that will benefit."
After hearing this, Duke Mu of Qin felt that what Zhu Zhiwu said was reasonable. Zhu Zhiwu further said: "If you can leave the State of Zheng behind and let them be the masters of your eastern road, and your envoys pass through the State of Zheng, if there is anything missing, the State of Zheng will definitely supply it and make adequate arrangements. What's wrong with this?" In this way, Duke Mu of Qin was finally convinced by Zhu Zhiwu, and he signed a unilateral peace treaty with Zheng Guo. The state of Jin was left with only one tree and no forest. Duke Wen of Jin had no choice but to retreat. Qin is in the west and Zheng is in the east, so Zheng calls itself the "host" to Qin. Later, this word generally refers to the host who entertains and welcomes guests, and it has been passed down to this day.
