The Chinese nation has been a nation that pays attention to moral education and personal cultivation since ancient times. A sweet smile, a persistent pursuit, and a comforting tolerance have merged into a touching note on the ode to virtue.
Thousands of years of civilization and etiquette have been passed down to this day, so China is known as "an ancient civilization" and "a state of etiquette". The working people in our country have always attached importance to moral cultivation and civility, and have a long tradition of virtue. And a modern civilized person with high quality and culture must have good manners. Civilized etiquette can be seen everywhere, and it often happens in small things around us, but it is often ignored by us. So we should integrate the virtues of civilization into real life.
Speaking of the virtues of civilization, I thought of a story. On one occasion, Comrade Lenin went downstairs, and in the narrow corridor of the stairs, he met a female worker carrying a basin of water upstairs. As soon as the women workers see Lenin, they will step back and make way. Lenin stopped her and said, "Don't do this. You're halfway done, and I'm empty-handed. Please go first! " He said the word "please" loudly and kindly. Then he leaned against the wall and told the girl to go upstairs, and then he went downstairs. Isn't this also a sign of politeness?
I don't want to give too many examples of great men here, because it's easy for everyone to have an illusion: if we think that politeness is only for great men and celebrities, then we don't have to feel guilty for our more or less uncivilized words and deeds; Or think that even if you practice the requirements of civilization, you can't become a great man or a celebrity. We need not only moral figures, but also a group of moral people.
The civilization degree of a society can reflect the civilization degree of a society and a country. A person's failure to observe social civilization will have a small impact on his own image and a big impact on the national reputation. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Li Hongzhang went to Russia. In public, he had a bad habit of spitting everywhere, which was greatly exaggerated and ridiculed by foreign journalists and humiliated China people. This is a historical lesson of not obeying social civilization.
The civilized atmosphere of a society also has a great influence on its people. Why do you say that? I believe that some students have been to Europe or Japan and have personal experience. Not to mention the big ones, I have seen such a small thing as the road. As long as the red light is on, foreigners will never cross the road even if there are no cars on the road. They think this is a public civilization that must be observed. Excuse me, in such an atmosphere, who will run a red light unscrupulously? This is the power of social atmosphere. But think again, if we don't start from ourselves, where does this social atmosphere come from?
We have been educated in civilized manners since childhood, and many students can talk about civilized manners at length. However, seeing lunch boxes and beverage bottles discarded everywhere on campus and hearing some students' swearing words, how can we not teach people grief! Are we all "giants of language and dwarfs of action"? Wang Shouren, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said: "Knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the kung fu of knowing; Knowing is the beginning of doing, and doing is the achievement of knowing; Knowing and doing is noumenon and kung fu. Knowing and not doing it is just unknown. " We receive the education of civilization and etiquette, but we are stingy with it or even do the opposite, which is different from never receiving social education! Therefore, if we want to practice social civilization, we must work hard from this "unity of knowing and doing", work hard from our own words, and bid farewell to uncivilized behavior.
