"Reading"

The hexagrams speak etiquette, with heart devout as the center, in turn about the funeral, banquet, military salute and cult.Although these are not all the rules, but the visible of the zhou dynasty etiquette is various complex.Might as well say, the ancient way of life is generally ritualized, all sorts of etiquette for a particular purpose, the etiquette activities permeated every aspect of daily life.

On the surface, the etiquette costly and cumbersome, but on a deeper level, it is the activity of two kinds of human meaning.This point is very definite, because the person not only exists in the material, the level of the body, but also through language, rituals, art, religion and exist on the poetic significance level.Modern people seem to revoke the numerous' heavy text cotton-padded mattress festival ", but modern people have lost more than "fine".The closer he is to matter, the main meaning is more far;The closer he is to the body, the farther from imagination and poetic.He is naked like meat a corpse, and castrated.

It is not difficult to imagine, through the divine grand solemn ritual, how our hearts will be raised to the height of the, our spirit will be how to the purification and sublimation.Unfortunately, this has become more and more far away from us.
