Zhuge Changqing: The Book of Rites "It is not a courtesy to come and go, but to come and not to go"

诸葛长青：《礼记》“礼尚往来，来而不往非礼也”

诸葛长青

The Chinese nation, a nation of manners. The unity of heaven and man, the eternal prosperity of all generations. ...... Zhuge Changqing

The Chinese nation, a nation of etiquette.

The Book of Rites, by Confucius, records the fundamental ways of etiquette.

Confucius spent his life promoting rituals in order to protect the roots of rituals, to promote the fundamental laws of Chinese rituals and to help the development of China.

According to Zhuge Changqing's research, manners are everywhere, throughout every person, every family, every detail of the country and every corner of society.

For example, etiquette is not a rite of passage. This is the basic requirement for a gentleman's human decency. Many people do not pay attention to it.

Confucius said for this reason in the Book of Rites that

The Supreme Being values virtue, and the second is to give reward. Rites are not rites. It is not a courtesy to come without coming; nor is it a courtesy to come without going. If a man has manners, he is safe; if he does not have them, he is in danger. Therefore, it is said that rites must be learned. A man of manners is a man who humbles himself and honours others. Even if a man is a peddler, he must be respected, let alone a rich man. If you are rich and know good manners, you will not be proud or lascivious; if you are poor and know good manners, you will not be deterred.

According to Zhuge Changqing, these words of Confucius remind people that etiquette should be used to regulate interpersonal relations, family, social communication and the state.

All people, rich or poor, should be modest and courteous, respect each other and make progress together.

Zhuge Changqing wishes everyone, to observe etiquette, to spread it, to promote it and to advance it.

中华民族，礼仪之邦。天人合一，万世永昌。……诸葛长青

中华民族，是礼仪之邦。

孔子《礼记》，记述了礼仪根本之道。

孔子一生推行礼仪，是为了保护礼仪根脉，弘扬中华礼仪规律根本，助力中华发展。

诸葛长青研究认为：礼，无处不在，贯穿每个人、每个家庭、国家的每一个细节、社会的每一个角落。

譬如：礼尚往来，来而不往非礼也。这就是对君子人伦基本要求。很多人就不注意，

孔子为此在《礼记》中说到：

太上贵德，其次务施报。礼尚往来。往而不来，非礼也；来而不往，亦非礼也。人有礼则安，无礼则危。故曰：礼者不可不学也。夫礼者，自卑而尊人。虽负贩者，必有尊也，而况富贵乎？富贵而知好礼，则不骄不淫；贫贱而知好礼，则志不慑。

诸葛长青认为，孔子这些话提醒人们，人与人之间、家庭之间、社会沟通、国家之间，要用礼仪来规范。

人不论富贵贫贱，都做到：人人谦虚好礼，人人相互尊重，人人共同进步。

诸葛长青祝愿每个人，都遵守礼仪，传播礼仪，弘扬礼仪，推进礼仪。
