Throughout most of Chinas long history,the relationships between people were based on carefully prescribed forms of behavior,that is,etiquette.Learning and following etiquette is so important that people are always judged by how closely they follow these rules of behaviors.For those who do not follow those prescribed rules of conduct,they are regarded as uncivilized barbarians.
However,as China has been increasingly entangled in the global village,many Chinese people,especially the young,have lost some traditions because of the influences of Western cultures.According to a famous professor,the majority of Chinese college students have not had systematic training on traditional Chinese etiquette. As for me, traditional etiquette should be taught in class.
Firstly, if college students can receive a systematic education in traditional etiquette in class,they can get more prepared for the future. As is known,college students usually have learnt some traditional etiquette through daily interaction with friends and relatives,but the process is time-consuming. They have to be sensitive enough to observe other peoples behaviors and then know what proper behaviors in different social situations are. Some times the learning process is by trial and error. They can only form right behaviors after breaking the rules of conduct and being corrected by the costly consequence. If they have already taken a systematic etiquette course in college,they can follow proper etiquette and have a more guaranteed future.
Secondly, as these meticulous rules of conduct have been formed throughout Chinese history,they are unique Chinese characteristics and are inseparable to Chinese culture.With the advent of globalization ,western culture is so influential that many young people often look to Western customs and etiquette as being fashionable. For example, nowadays most young women in China would like to wear western-style white dresses and veils at wedding while traditional Chinese weddings feature red gowns for brides and white is an absolute taboo. In the long term,if the trend to adopt western etiquette can not be curbed,the Chinese generations in the future will lose their cultural identity.
Furthermore, the extinction of Chinese etiquette will be to the detriment of the diversity of global culture. To some extent,the course can serve to arouse college students cultural pride and help to preserve and further develop Chinese culture. In conclusion,taking traditional Chinese etiquette in college will not only make graduates more prepared for their future,but also can constitute an important measure for college students to form Chinese cultural identity and therefore to preserve Chinese tradition and further develop it.
As people respond to incentives, they will change their behaviors if they perceive that costs or benefits change. This principle seems to find wide application in our daily lives. When college graduates learn that receiving a master degree will give them an upper hand in the job market, many decide to take part in post-graduate entrance examinations. In China, it is regarded as following suit. Though we admire those who pride themselves on sticking to their ideals and principles, odds may not be against those who follow suit.Generally speaking, there are both advantages and disadvantages of following suit.
Firstly, following suit is indicative of the fact that followers have no indispensable beliefs or fixed principles and hence they are flexible in the vicissitudes of lives. When the social context changes and opportunities arise, those followers are the first to respond and make decisions.Take the English training service for example. In early 1990s, increasing number of college graduates decided to study overseas and hence English training service was in large demand.Given that forerunners had make a fortune by providing training programs to those graduates,many businessmen just followed suit and established several training schools. Undoubtedly,those who followed suit when the market did not reach saturation did make money.
Secondly, it is noteworthy that following suit can avoid making mistakes. For those forerunners, there is no previous information at their hand, and therefore, it will take a longtime to learn and improve by trial and error. During the period of trial and error, forerunners will encounter unexpected difficulties and pressures. As a result, when those become successful in certain domains, they have proved that the path will lead to success, providing both pros and cons. On the contrary, followers need not experience the process of trial and error. They can just imitate their forerunners proven pattern of behaviors and have easier access to success.There are also some disadvantages of following suit. When there are so many followers, the world will become crowded and odds are against those later followers.
Furthermore, following suit prevents innovation and creation, which is to the detriment of our society. However, whether one should follow suit or not is not sim* a to-be-or-not-to-be question. A basic assumption of individual person is that everyone is rational. So one should carefully calculate costs and benefits in specific circumstances before they decide to follow suit or not.
The round table is popular. Because they can sit more people, and we can sit face to face, the head of the family identity and not long shaped the West on the table very clearly through his seat and identification. Guests should be invited to sit down and wait for the owner.
The owner must be careful not to call the guests sitting in a seat near the table. This is a taboo.Will have to wait until all the people here can only be the beginning of any form of dining activities - even if they have to wait for being late. Once you master home place, can do the prologue. During the meal, the owner must assume a proactive role -urging guests enjoy eating and drinking is entirely reasonable.

Unlike the sacrifices at a family's home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food.One theory is that since any number of ghosts roomed around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers. With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors.

——*传统文化英语作文 (菁华5篇)
The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.
The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society's performance. Besides, we should draw more people's attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support we can get from the public.
In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.
这段主要告诉我们保护*传统文化的重要性，这是挑战或面临灭绝，因为发展中社会和改变生活方式。此外，*全国全力以赴去做。
保护国家和民间文化是*文化的多样性具有十分重要的意义，也是地方经济和社会发展之间的和谐发展。据报道，广东省*支付特别注意保护Chaoju（潮剧），一个当地的戏剧在潮州出生在广东省东部。
在我看来，应该采取一些措施来有效地保护传统文化。首先，我们应该做一个法律调节社会的表现。除此之外，我们应该吸引更多的人的关注，因为他们知道关于文化保护的重要性，更强的`我们可以从公众的支持。
总之，是时候让我们珍惜和发展我们自己的有价值的文化。
Since the big country has been found at October 1st of 1949, the People's Republic of China has gone through a history of 62 years. Looking back at the 62 years, especially in recent 30 years, we have made many great achievements in different fields. And China has been the second largest economy in the world in 2010. And as a Chinese, I am so proud of our mother country.
However, on the other hand, we also have been losing many other good things such as beautiful environment and traditional culture when the GDP has increased quickly. And we also know that the traditional culture is the soul of an ancient nation. It is the most important thing. But we Chinese seem to ignore this. And that many things happened in this year like to remind us to be awake of this phenomenon. The accident of our high speed trains had taken many people's lives away in July. And that the 2-years-old girl had been hurt to die while 18 passers should to save her.
And in my opinion, the culture and civilization are so important that we can't lose them. However the economy and technology have been developed, we will have nothing when we lost the important things. As a student, I have no idea that what should I do. And I just want to say, we must develop our traditional culture but not to abandon them.
Dear Tony,
I5m glad that you will come to Beijing soon. There are lots of places of interest in Beijing.In order toexperience traditional Chinese culture better, I do recommend Beijing Hutong tour.
First,we’re going to go sightseeing along the lanes in Hutong. The houses in Hutong are traditional, such as Siheyuan. From them, you can imagine how people used to live. Of course you can stop anywhere you like and it is interesting to take pictures or have a close look.Second,we are going to pay visits to a Hutong family. We can have lunch there and have a short talk with the local residents, which can help you learn about many stories of the past. We cannot onlyappreciate the dramatic changes that Hutong has undergone,but alsosee evidence of the history of Beijing, experience the old way of life and experience traditional Beijing culture.
In a word,Hutongs are the homes of common people in the past. It is easy to know how people lived and had fun in the old days. So it is a good choice tolearn abouttraditional Chinese culture. I’mlooking forward toyour coming.
Yours, Li Hua.
Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it.
From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones. Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.
Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius).
These books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.
Today, we live in the modern world, most things we do can use the machine. The technology brings so many convenience to us, it facilitates our life. As we are facing the new products all the time, the traditional things are fading away. Take the paper-cut for example. When I was very small, paper-cut was so popular in my grandma's generation, most women could cut all kinds of interesting shapes. While today when I went back to my hometown, I found that most of them had stopped cutting papers, because they could buy them at the very low price. What's more, the young people don't learn such art, for the parents think it is not necessary for their children to learn the old-fashion thing. The tradition should not be abandoned, it is the reflection of our culture. Even facing the challenge, we need to inherit the tradition.
今天，我们生活在摩登时代，我们可以使用机器做大部分的事情。科技给我们带来了很多方便，它便利了我们的生活。我们每天都面对着新产品，传统的东西正在慢慢消失。以剪纸为例。在我很小的时候，在我祖母的那一代，剪纸很受欢迎，大多数女性可以剪出各种有趣的形状。现在当我回到家乡时，我发现他们中的`大多数已经停止剪纸，因为他们可以以很低的价格购买。更重要的是，年轻人不了解这种艺术，以为父母认为他们的孩子没有必要去学*这种不时髦的东西。传统不应该被放弃，这是我们文化的反映。甚至面临挑战，我们仍然需要继承传统。

Using etiquette
Related to the use of the napkin, everyone must wait after sit down, they can use. After the napkin is spread out, it should be laid flat on your lap. Dont put it in your collar, because the three year old girl may be very cute, but it will be a bit too bad for the thirteen year old.
In addition, the main function of the napkin is to prevent food from dirty clothes, and wipe off the oil stains on the lips and hands. Please dont wipe your nose when you forget to bring tissue, because it is neither elegant nor sanitary.
Some people may worry about the sanitation of the tableware, so it is very impolite to use the napkin to wipe the tableware, which can cause the embarrassment of the restaurant or the host. After you have finished eating, you should fold your napkin and put it on the table before you leave.
In the order of the use of knives and forks in Western food, the principle is from outside to inside. First use the cutlery placed on the outermost side of the dinner plate, and use a knife and fork after each meal. After eating, the knife and fork sit side by side in the middle of the plate, and the waiter will take the initiative to take the plate away. Besides being used for cutting food, dishes are also used to move food, because it is impolite to turn plates on formal occasions.
China Dining Custom Table Manners The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West where everyone has their own plate of food in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.If you are being treated by a Chinese host be prepared for a ton of food.
Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.
There are a lot of the same place between table manners in modern China and ancient times.But in some small places it has changed because of western influence.The seating order is the same as western dinner etiquette the first chief guest sit right to the host the other guest sit in the host’s left or right of the first chief guest.Depends on the specific situation it is flexible.
The host should servemealstart from the guests on the rightthe first is chief guestserve than the hostfirst female guest after the gentlemen.Tea is not the same important as before.People sometimes use other drinks like wine instead of tea.Wine glass can’t be poured too full.It still maintaining the traditional order of food serve cold food than the hot food at last there are desert and fruit.If there are whole chicken duck fish and other plastic dishes the head of them should nottail toward the chief guest.These programs can not only make the whole process of a harmonious and orderly but also make the identity of host and guest clearly and easy for emotional expression andcommunication.Therefore the table manners can make feasts activities successfully.
The Americans are much in love with food.This is part of being American too.Baseball is Americans' national pastime1 but what's a ball game without hot dogs peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)?Hollywood is America's symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn?And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.
Americans love all kinds of food Italian Chinese Mexican Greek French Japanese and many others.The Americans are in fact
“The UN of Food.”
To get familiar with the American eating custom one must know two things.First one must know the sequence5 of service.There is something special in terms of the sequence or order of dish service in America compared with ours.Here is the order:
1.Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase one's appetite7.The host or hostess will ask:“Do you like a cup of aperitif?”
2.Hors d'oeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.
3.Appetizer —or called starter it is a small serving of juice fruit or seafood or something else at the beginning of a meal to stimulate9 people's appetite.
4.Now the main course is under way:
a)Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.
b)Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.
c)Entree—the third course of a meal generally it is made up of a hot meat.
d)Savory11—the last course in a formal meal it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.
5.Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal usually it is a pudding chocolate cake or cheese and biscuits sometimes.
6.Coffee—that's the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner.It's served either at table or in the living room.
In a family treatment the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13 though No 4 is the essential part.And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food.Ostentation15 is never under consideration.
Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from one's own plate is popular in Europe and America except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to one's need.
The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.
(1)Don't circle your plate with your arm.If you do so you will become the focus16 of the table.Everyone would wonder:“Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you don't like the food or something like that.
(2)Don't push the plate back when finished.Leave it where it was.Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that you've just completed a labor?
(3)Don't lean18 back and announce that “I'm through” or “I'm stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate that's all.
(4)Don't cut up everything before you start to eat.Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.
(5)Never take huge mouthfuls of anything.Do you mean to show how hungry you are?Don't do that!Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.
(6)Don't crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass.That looks too affected22 far from ladylike!
(7)Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table.It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.
(8)It's never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish for example).If the item you want is not at hand sim* ask for the nearest person for help like “Mrs.Smith would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”
Fourth if guests or elders give cloth dish.Best use of chopsticks may also be the guests or elders far away from the dishes to their front according to the habit of the Chinese nation.Dish is a one of the Top.If the same tables leadership the elderly the guests said.Whenever of a new dish let them first Dongkuaizi.rotation or invite them to the first Dongkuaizi.to show their importance.
Fifth:eat the head fishbone bones and other objects not Wangwaimian vomit not onto the ground still.Slowly to get their hands Diezili or close on their own or on Canzhuobian prepared beforehand good on paper.
Sixth:To a timely manner about the time and people just a few humorous to reconcile the atmosphere.Guangzhaotou not eat regardless of others and do not devour and destroy the lavish meal not jail sentence.
7:It is best not to the dinner table Tiya if it is to Tiya will use napkins or sign blocked their mouths.
8:To clear the main tasks of the meal.Must be clear to do business oriented.Feelings or to the main contact.Mainly or to eat.If it is the former when attention should be paid to the seating arrangements.Their main negotiators the seats near each other to facilitate conversations or dredge emotion.If it is the after.need only pay attention to common-sense courtesy on the line to focus on the appreciation of dishes

Chinese is a state of ceremonies is an undeniable fact. But some people think these rituals are unnecessary. If this is a question and answer question, these people may be half and half wrong. Among the many rituals in China, some can be simplified, but not removed.
For example: a feast for important guests to the former owner introduced to everyone in the ancient table, and the enthusiasm of concise message; when the Opening Banquet master will personally pour, in order to the elders and the guests toast, can not be forced; for the guests to drink wine, and to greet the guests; King dishes to the guests the guests should pay attention to diet, hobbies, not the number, the amount is not large, or let guests embarrassment; the owner should pay attention to extensive exchange during which, not to heat the cold he, as a female guest, should pay more attention to the conversation and respect for women; the owner cannot precede the guest fangxiawankuai, until the guests that had eaten the banquet speech can master; to accompany the guest of honor, gargle, wash their hands after tea to another seat.
In addition, in front of the guests, the owner can not scold the children and servants; main dis* with the customer's children, their children away to the owner, no matter which is right and which is wrong, should apologize to each other, but not when the guest lessons their children, or guests will feel uncomfortable.
The feast is not for the children. I remember when the dinner, ask the children to do to understand the rules, respect people, polite, educated, there are three allowed: meals are not allowed to appear noise, dishes rattle, but are not allowed to knock the table with chopsticks knock the bowl, allowed Baji mouth and a virtual gong. Two grandmother said a meal to hear the voice of his mouth disgusting, when eating out virtual Gong unbearable. And let the children eat choke hiccups initiative under the table, not allowed to drag a stool to screech, which is not allowed to make a noise; two is not allowed to mouth “ ”, the elders do not Dongkuaizi children is not the first dish, not the mouth filling, no don't gobble, stand up food, not enough food may indicate the elders to clip, are not allowed to use chopsticks in the dishes are not allowed to pick random shuffle, ate with eyes glued to the dishes on the table, are not allowed to use chopsticks, don't eat and are not allowed to export foul throw in or mixed teeth spit on the ground, not out of rice, steamed bread and leftovers to expose the scalp to pull clean bowl. The most taboo is that children put chopsticks in the rice bowl; three, absolutely not allow children to drink. The year two grandmothers love kids together and Lele, at the dinner table playing some games, lost to the program, but also let the kids meal than rice bowls and the most clean desktop, the warm atmosphere is very strong. Here you can save a lot of steps.
Take a negative example: courtesy, etiquette, any civilized society, any civilized nation, people always pay great attention to civility. Because courtesy is one of the moral norms in human society to promote friendly and harmonious interpersonal interaction, and it is a bridge to live in harmony with others. It symbolizes the civilized process of a society and reflects the spiritual outlook of a nation. The Chinese nation has always attached great importance to following the rules of etiquette and treating people politely. Many of these intriguing experiences, both past and present, are enlightening. The following note: 1. people. Get along with people, good at the head. “ good ” should be from the heart of sincerity, is sincere in shape on the outside, rather than just a form of unnecessary and overelaborate formalities and clever talk and an ingratiating manner. 2. people. Reciprocity is an important criterion to be polite. That is to say, accept others' kindness, must be just to. In this way, interpersonal communication can continue on an equal and friendly basis in a virtuous circle. This is not to be omitted.
In a word, etiquette in interpersonal relationships, process performance to a certain, common procedures of self-discipline and respect of others, to dress, communication, communication, EQ etc.. From the point of view of personal accomplishment, etiquette can be said to be a person's inherent accomplishment and quality of external performance. Therefore, etiquette can be simplified, but some etiquette can not be removed.
