1 In a socialist society, there is no upper class, and everyone enjoys equal human rights, political rights, democratic rights and economic status. Distribution according to work, people's democracy, ensuring no gap between the rich and the poor, no privilege and prosperity. So there is no hierarchy between people, so there is no gentleman and no upper class.
In the socialist countries affected by revisionism, the upper class refers to the privileged bureaucratic class and the bourgeoisie, their nepotism and celebrities. Therefore, the existence of high society is not true socialism.
In capitalist society, the upper class includes entrepreneurs with the most capital. In feudal society, the upper class included well-known family members with aristocratic titles. In turbulent times, upper-class figures are not always fixed, such as Louis XVI before and after the French Revolution. After June 1790, he is no longer a representative of the upper class. Refer to the definition above.
People in the upper class have more spirit and soul. The upper class is temperate, moderate and abstinent, at least not so explicit.
Upper society-a guide to behavior
No.65438 +0 can't wear long pants.
Even if the nose of the upper class is cold, don't wear a pair of autumn trousers in your pants. When you bend over, you will see a pair of trousers. What a pity! It's really cold, hiding in your pants? Forget it, upper-class society has a high demand for the length of trousers. The length of men's trousers should be the third shoelace eye from the toe. Lady, when you want to go skiing, you can only wear a pair of trousers to keep warm. At other times, it should be supported by stockings.
Second, remove the trademarks from all clothes.
Do you still want to leave the suit brand on the cuff and tell the world that you bought a new Armani? The upper classes never do that. Their clothes are custom-made in several tailor shops in France or England, embroidered with their initials. Even if your suit is not custom-made, please keep the buttons on the cuffs real, because then you can unbutton them and wash your hands. If it is a fake button, you will make a fool of yourself in a five-star toilet where someone hands you a hot towel.
There is a coat for special occasions on the 3rd.
Like the gentlemen in the upper class in Britain, you must prepare shooting clothes, riding clothes and hunting clothes, because these are "things that most people never have" and they can quickly distinguish you from the ordinary class. Of course, there must be a hat and boots to match. When wearing these clothes, it is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the fact that the buttons at the bottom of the vest cannot be buckled, and the lid on the jacket pocket should be put in the pocket; Handkerchiefs should be stacked on cuffs, not in coat pockets like when eating.
How many sets of sportswear are there on the 4th?
Even if you don't exercise, you should seem to exercise regularly and have the temperament of "I have money and I have leisure". It seems that he just came out of the gym, or just played a round of squash with his business partner. If you are a housewife, special yoga clothes obviously look healthier than home clothes.
Don't drive a Porsche unless you are in gear.
The real upper class can either play with cars or have their own drivers. If they drive themselves, they pay more attention to handling performance, road adhesion, yaw, horsepower and so on. If you take the C card and insist on driving a luxury car with excellent performance, it may be difficult to turn a corner. In addition, don't decorate the car as the living room of petty bourgeoisie, which is the symbol of petty bourgeoisie, not the upper class.
No.6 was invited to attend various press conferences.
If you are included in the invitation list, your identity is different. Try to let the photographer capture your figure on these occasions, so as to have a chance to get on the social pages of various magazines, but act as if you were accidentally photographed and use "Hey, make do!" When people ask. To show modesty. The prominent people in these occasions are all your acquaintances, but you don't discuss work or investment with them. You met here because of the same hobby.
No.7 has extra energy to vent during the trip.
Different from the ordinary middle class, the upper class travels not to get rid of work, but to vent their excess energy. They went to Le Tu Kai to play golf; Go diving in Malaysia; Go to Japan to soak in the best hot springs; Go swimming in the West Canary Islands. And you can waste up to six months in Europe, traveling according to the route of British18th century great travelers.
Family barbecue parties are often held on the 8th.
The premise of a barbecue party is that there is at least one garden with an area of 100 square meter and complete barbecue facilities. Not only that, you should also be good at barbecue. It seems that you grew up in this environment. When you were young, there was a barbecue party at home. How many birthdays have you spent by the swimming pool? All the people who came to the party were family friends, including all kinds of high-class dignitaries.
NO.9 bring a rubber ball when you are a guest.
The book Celebrity tells us that if you have a close relationship with an upper-class person, it is wise to bring a rubber ball when you are invited to his country house. If you have children, you can play racquet games with him; If he has a dog, he can throw the ball to it to play with. Taking his children and dogs as friends is the best way to integrate into other people's families.
10 is good at choosing suitable charities.
Charity participating in high society life is no longer a stepping stone to enter high society, but also depends on how you choose. In Tianya's famous post about upper-class life, "Duke Zhou" once said that he never donated money to Project Hope, but donated it to china charity federation to show his taste in charity selection.
1 1 has a certain knowledge of antique appreciation.
The collection of antiques and the new information of major auction houses can always give a clue, and I often participate in small auctions of some auction houses, and there are some exquisite collections that are popular but not too expensive at present. I have read some books about ancient civilization. I am also familiar with the hot new upsurge of ancient culture. Although it is not as profound as a famous writer's interpretation, you must have a book about your favorite philosophy of life, whether it is Zhuangzi or Laozi.
NO. 12 often comes up with foreign words.
When it comes to finance, investment and workplace, British English sounds rigorous and noble; Some American English words are mixed in the exercise, which immediately shows that you are an expert in this field; When describing a brand or eating a big meal, accurately pronounce the name in French, and your fashion taste will immediately add points; If you add some popular German accents, you are simply the best.
13 changed "toilet" to "bathroom"
If you make a short speech at the dinner table and call the toilet "toilet" even though you use "please forgive me", it immediately shows that you are a lower-middle class person. When visiting foreign dignitaries, business celebrities or academic authorities, it is best to always insist on using the "toilet". Ladies can use the "dressing room" or just say "I'm going to powder my nose".
14 appropriate gossip in appropriate occasions
Pretending to be reserved is not a good idea, nor is it wise to run around like a rabbit or a butterfly. It's best to mention some shocking anecdotes in the right circle, such as a director's quirks or a movie star's childhood anecdotes, but don't be too damaging everywhere, because you don't know whether the parties are on the same occasion or whether there are his or her friends in the audience. It makes people feel that you are well informed and have a lot of contacts with many important people.
15 has a rich nightlife.
How to count foot bath, mahjong and sauna as nightlife? What belongs to the upper class should be concerts, operas or family reading parties, inviting people to sing at home. The upper class pays more attention to privacy and cultural taste. It's not that they don't play ordinary people's pastimes, but they can invite people to do these services at home without going out to crowd with others.
16 will play bridge and billiards.
Outdoor sports that can enhance physical fitness are of course pastimes, and advanced intellectual games and gentlemen's sports are also essential, even if they are just pretending. These two sports must be played in private clubs or clubs. In addition to having a room at home, someone must serve tea and water to score points.
NO. 17 to eat snack
Delete street food stalls, Hong Kong-style tea restaurants and porridge noodles from your mind. The midnight snack here refers to another fashionable addition after breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. It must be held after the concert in the theater at night. It is usually composed of some healthy snacks and fruits that are not too greasy. The topic of discussion is the performance just now.
NO. 18 drink good wine and tell me why.
Nowadays, many people already know that red wine can't be toasted, but should be seen, smelled and tasted. However, some people still like to add watermelon slices or citrus slices to expensive red wine and mix green tea with vodka. When they see this situation, they must stop it in time, tell how to taste wonderful wine, name several famous wines produced by expensive French wineries, and point out that the temperature of red wine should be 15C or 6544. The temperature of liquor should be 7C or 8C.
In phase 19, eat organic food instead of shark fin and bird's nest.
Yes, fine shark's fin and bird's nest are all things that show financial resources, but you should know that this is an upstart behavior that the upper class looks down upon. Now the real fashion is environmental protection, and it is better to avoid touching precious ingredients related to animals. Real upper-class people like to eat healthy and delicious organic food-fresh vegetables and fruits produced in their own gardens, poultry raised by rural farmers, game they hunt, seafood caught by yachts.
Family No.20, private and exclusive
Personal special service has become one of the most important standards in the upper class, from the initial hardware, such as private cars, private jets and private gardens, to the later software, such as car drivers, car bodyguards, car tailors and car butlers, and then to family doctors, family lawyers and tutors with family inheritance. As long as the "personal exclusivity" is highlighted, it will be a step closer to the upper class.
Upper class-the present situation of China.
The 30 years since the reform and opening up have been 30 years since the formation of the rich. Because an absolute power has not been broken, resource allocation controls the formation of the rich in this society: urbanization makes developers become absolute rich; The opening up of coastal areas and eastern China has made these areas rich first. The mining of minerals makes Shanxi coal bosses famous all over the world; Only IT tycoons are holding venture capital from overseas VCs, and a group of young new rich people have emerged in a non-traditional sense. To be precise, the whole economic operation revolves around them. They are consumers, but they are not upper class, because they have no time and energy to "play upper class". "Playing the upper class" should wait until your children and relatives, that is, the "rich second generation", are formed and sent abroad for training, taking over and taking charge of the great cause. "Not the best, but the most expensive", a noble word, marks the mentality of the upper class. Only when it is expensive can it be distinguished from wealth. You can't be stupid, you have to have cultural and artistic appreciation to jump to the top. We just laughed at the "nouveau riche" and the nouveau riche mentality, and we are still at the point of quenching thirst with poison for the upper class, and an upper class is far from being formed. Chaos, but the most dynamic. This is not only an instruction for contemporary China, but also a global consensus for China. The Internet used to be full of great debates about the upper class: the Tianya community debate between Yi and Zhou Gongzi. The former was chased by the latter for despising the poor, and their "showing off wealth posts" attracted more than 200 thousand people to watch the war.
Upper class-various definitions
Some netizens on the Internet have a shallow definition of the upper class, and the records are as follows: the upper class is divided into regions. Generally speaking, when your assets reach a certain value, you can enjoy life without working! Or the money you earn from your job every year is enough to maintain the high price you pay to enjoy life! The netizen added the difference with the nobility: the difference is that the nobility is hereditary! And the upper circle can be among the upper circles through my efforts the day after tomorrow! Repeated use of exclamation marks is very interesting, as if sharing and marveling at a discovery.
Edit this paragraph's attitude towards the upper class.
A white horse is not a horse, and high society is not a society. The so-called high society is a description, a way of life, not a social form. Therefore, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to appear in public view. But we can say that you can find all kinds of "upper class beauties" in the cities of China, and you can break into the upper class by any means, but you haven't learned the essence of the upper class: wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and powerful people can't be bent. Insist on indomitable spirit, is superior. But what we see is often the opposite: wealth must be immoral, poverty must move, and power must bend. If you want to compete with the upper class, you need to learn a lot, just like the column setting of a magazine: society, culture, wealth and lifestyle. And manners. Everyone should study. The upper-class prospect of China people is optimistic, but I don't know whether it is directly proportional or inversely proportional to their moral prospect. China people used to be afraid of being poor, but now they are afraid of being rich. They must strive for the upper class. The upper-class prospects of China people should not look forward, but backward, using the principle of "rearview mirror". Five thousand years of civilization, the state of imperial etiquette, left behind is a high-level culture. China people dream of running into the upper class, which is actually an atavism.
