Wine is like water in shape, but has a violent temper. If drunk without restraint and restraint, it can hurt people's internal organs internally, mess up people's limbs externally, and make people unconscious. Therefore, it is necessary to restrict drinking. It is better to control wine than to control water. This is a basic truth that monarchs of all dynasties have understood. And the best way to guide is to use courtesy. Regarding the standardization of drinking etiquette, our country has already made a complete record and description of the etiquette and activity specifications of a banquet in "Zhou Li·Xiang Drinking", detailing the methods of introducing host and guest, the speeches and courteous movements during drinking, and the necessary accompanying music during the banquet... Later Confucians, especially in the era of Confucius, believed that people's practice of "ritual" is an effective way to understand "benevolence", so they put forward the life principle of "Don't speak or do anything that is not etiquette". Confucius said, "Restraining oneself and restoring etiquette is benevolence", hoping to return to those etiquette standards of the Zhou Rites era. However, because some of the provisions of Zhou rites were too extravagant and complicated to be implemented, the people made modifications to them, deleting those that were particularly complicated and meaningless, while retaining those etiquette and customs that were simple, easy to implement, had some commemorative significance or were full of sentiment.
