2. Basic explanation

Etiquette is established by people, which shows their ideology of respect, awe and prayer for people, themselves, ghosts and gods, and nature, as well as various customary forms and behavioral norms. The usual forms here include etiquette and ceremony. Etiquette is generally personal and can be accomplished without other things, such as kowtowing, bowing, handing over, greeting, etc. Most of the ceremonies are collective and generally need to be completed with the help of other objects, such as foundation laying ceremony, launching ceremony, welcoming ceremony, wedding ceremony, hole worship ceremony and so on. The earliest etiquette of human beings is sacrificial etiquette, which mainly expresses reverence and prayer for the gods of heaven and earth.

Note: Etiquette should not be confined to the category of "socializing". The earliest etiquette was sacrificial ceremony, not "social communication", but people were trying to communicate with ghosts and gods and nature. Moreover, even in modern times, many manners are not social things. For example, the groundbreaking ceremony, the launching ceremony, the opening ceremony and so on, people hold these ceremonies, in fact, they are consciously or unconsciously expressing their reverence and prayer for nature or the god they believe in. They may pray to nature or God in their hearts to bless their buildings to be successfully completed and stand still; Bless their ships to sail safely after launching; I wish them a prosperous business after opening ... These are not "social contacts", but people are trying to communicate with ghosts and gods and nature. Therefore, we can't just position etiquette in the category of "social interaction".
