Chapter 118
"Kneeling represents a serious and respectful etiquette. This kind of etiquette is not only used for courtiers to face the king, juniors meet elders, servants meet the master, even people with equal status and status will use kneeling gestures to express show mutual respect.”

"Gentlemen should treat each other with courtesy when meeting each other. In order to show formality and solemnity, they will kneel and sit on solemn and solemn occasions to show their importance. If they adopt other sitting postures in formal occasions, it will be regarded as disrespect or contempt for others. You will be criticized and criticized. Like you did just now, with your feet spread out and your knees slightly bent, it is even more contemptuous and contemptuous of the other party."

"A reckless man like you can still have sex with farmers. If you were the wife of Mencius, you would have been divorced long ago!"

Indeed, the requirements among ordinary people are not so strict, and they occasionally relax in private or at home, and move their legs in the way of squatting or squatting to relax temporarily.However, this almost led to an injustice.

Mencius once saw "Mencius's wife living alone, squatting." He said to his mother, "Wife is rude, please go." Fortunately, he was successfully persuaded by the kind and wise mother of Meng, and Mencius gave up the idea of ​​​​divorcing his wife. .

The custom of kneeling and sitting is an integral part of traditional culture, which embodies the dignified and humble etiquette style of Chinese civilization.When people sit upright in a kneeling posture, they can protect their bodies with harmony and harmonize the inside and outside, so as to achieve a kind of harmony and unity between the heart and the body.

When the emperor and ministers meet, the ministers bow to the king in a humble manner, and the king returns with a solemn and respectful ceremony of kneeling and sitting upright. This is the most appropriate expression of "the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers", and it also shows the rigorous style of the ancients. .Even a high-ranking king would be disrespectful and disrespectful to his subjects if he did not kneel down straight.

Ni Tu has read the research on this aspect, and the ceremony of kneeling and sitting has its customary reasons.

The ancients have not yet invented underwear, so they only wear coats, and it is quite inconvenient to move, sit and lie down, especially when sitting down, it is easy to expose the body, so the posture of kneeling can also save people from such embarrassing situations.When the monarchs, ministers, ministers, and scholars meet each other, they usually sit upright, with the hem of the long coat properly tucked under the knees, which is generous and decent.

However, some scholars pointed out that the ceremony of kneeling and sitting gave birth to the ancient culture of equality.Because in the pre-Qin period, the king and all the officials knelt down on an equal footing, there was no distinction between high and low, only the primary and secondary, which also indirectly gave birth to a prosperous cultural scene of equality and freedom.

When some posterity explained the etiquette of kneeling and sitting, they said that when sitting on the ground safely, a kind of spiritual power that connects with the heaven and the earth can be generated from the heart, which is also the way of cultivating the body and mind that the ancients pursued .Kneeling and sitting is also an effective way of physical and mental exercise. It can not only effectively improve one's own etiquette, but also keep the mind and calm the mind by sitting upright, and get rid of many irritability and hostility brought about in work and life.

In the long and long years, the ancients meticulously created a glorious history and culture with a straight, respectful and elegant kneeling posture.Kneeling, which has been abandoned by history, is not only a symbol of the life of the ancients, but also a brilliant civilization full of the wisdom of the ancestors, and it is the embodiment of the spirit of the ancients who are close to the earth and look up to the sky.Perhaps one day, when people put aside all the troubles and sit on the ground and meditate, they can face themselves bravely, have a sincere dialogue with their own hearts, and truly understand and realize themselves.

In Ni Tu's view, this is a fart!

What are the benefits of kneeling?Except for leg numbness, I didn't see it.At least where in the big action movies that are very popular, Ni Tu saw those dwarves who like to kneel and sit traditionally.

Ni Tu doesn't understand why people who think they are noble always like to torture themselves to show their nobility?

Although the interior of the Tang Dynasty is still dominated by seats, and people are still accustomed to living on the floor, it’s just that people at this time no longer repel nonsense as in previous dynasties, and the traditional etiquette is still there, but " "Hu Han" is more integrated.

Just like I was in the camp, at Zhen Zhener's house, at Li Shisan's house, the stools and chairs I designed, that is, what they call Hu beds, Hu stools and other Hu people's utensils, culture and way of life have been taken by the people of Tang Dynasty. Take it easy.

Perhaps, this is the sense of cultural self-esteem. Always rejecting this kind of foreign and imported products and characterizing them as "Hu" is a kind of xenophobic thinking.

Feeling the backlog of pain and numbness in his thighs, Ni Tu made a plan in his heart: Well, one day, tall furniture such as beds, stools, and even chairs will spread all over the Central Plains. For production, the price has to be lowered, so that the item can be circulated quickly with small profits but quick turnover, and the power of hundreds of millions of people is used to promote the habits of these self-righteous dignitaries.

Yesterday, he hit Wang Baidu.Unexpectedly, today, this old man caught him sitting incorrectly, and he was beating his whole body with a ruler until his body ached.

Wang Baidu is not much better either.

Every time he saw Ni Tu being beaten, he was very relieved.

Once relieved, you can't stop laughing.

Once you can't stop laughing, you will be punished with a ruler.

On the one hand, Ni Tu grinned from the beating, and his whole body hurt.On the one hand, Wang Baidu was beaten until tears flowed down his face, and his palms hurt.

Maybe it was because the master was so angry, or maybe it was because Ni Tu's thick skin didn't give the old master the satisfaction of torture.

On the contrary, the imperial court women hollowed out his body overnight.

Out of breath, almost suffocated by shortness of breath.

He sat down behind the desk, tilted his body, put his elbows against the desk, and said, "Today's class ends here first, you guys... go and play!"

Wang Baidu burst into tears.

Ni Tu sneered and said: "Master, who said just now that you should stand upright and kneel when you kneel? I also know that I am a teacher, and I am a teacher. I don't know that the master kneels and sits in such a crooked posture?" ? Then, in the future, we also have to learn from the master, and so on."

"You... you get out!"

Wang Baidu cried, and exhausted all his strength to pull Ni Tu up from the slump, whose knees were numb.

Only then did the two injured patients limped out of the study room supporting each other.

Mr. Bai was so angry that he raised his hand and slammed the table, and said bitterly: "Zhuzi is so rude! Tomorrow, I will test him and see if I don't smash your palms!"

Mr. Bai has made up his mind, he won't work at night tonight, he will recharge his energy and deal with this boy who dares to contradict him.

"Irreverent Lizi, do you think you can straighten your back by leaning on a woman and talk big? Huh, people who eat soft food must have soft waists! Just wait for me, old man!"
