The ancients in our country greeted each other as a salute, and generally did not say anything.
For example, in the Qin Dynasty, when two people meet for the first time, the younger generation will give their elders a big gift. The big gift refers to the ceremony of bowing down. People who meet again will do a small gift, that is, take two steps tightly, hold hands, bow their heads, bow their heads, waist, and most of the first words when they meet are the first step, or the master, not the gifted scholar.
Etiquette in the Ming dynasty returned to the past, and literati met and bowed. To ensure respect, they moved their hands down from their foreheads to their chests and bowed at a 45-degree angle. Etiquette in the Ming Dynasty can be said to have different manners for different people. As for the appellation between literati, Xiaoke, Xiandi and Xianxiong are still dominated by me.
As the last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty once again pushed the feudal system to its peak. At ordinary times, people should kneel down when they meet their superiors and their host's family. Scholars in the Qing Dynasty often called themselves Mr., and their manners were generally based on communication. The complexity of etiquette in Qing dynasty is reflected in the relationship between officialdom and monarch and minister. The appellation and etiquette among literati in Qing dynasty were simplified.

Classical Chinese is relative to the vernacular Chinese after the New Culture Movement, and there was no such thing as classical Chinese in ancient times. It is characterized by paying attention to the use of allusions, parallel prose and neat melody, including strategies, poems, words, songs, stereotyped writing, parallel prose and other styles. After the modification of literati in past dynasties, it became more and more flashy. Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, initiated the "ancient prose movement" and advocated returning to popular ancient prose. The classical Chinese in modern books are generally marked with punctuation marks in order to facilitate reading and understanding.
Today's classical Chinese is an article composed of an ancient written language in China, mainly including the written language based on spoken language in the pre-Qin period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were no articles for writing, but bamboo slips, silk books and other things were used to write. With the change of history and the evolution of spoken language, the difference between classical Chinese and spoken language has gradually expanded, and "classical Chinese" has become the exclusive language of scholars.

The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox are collectively referred to. The ancients in our country knew the four solar terms of vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice long ago, and used them to determine the division of the four seasons. Because the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox are equal in length, it is also called "Japan-China".
Some pre-Qin ancient books called "Japan-China" the vernal equinox, such as "Shu Yao Dian": "The star of the sun is the bird of spring in the shade; The sun is always shining for midsummer; In the night, the stars are empty and cloudy; The day is short and the stars are in the middle of winter. "
That is to say, the birds, fire, sky and long night in the twenty-eight lodges are regarded as the evening stars of mid-spring, mid-summer, mid-autumn and mid-winter, the vernal equinox is called the mid-day, the autumnal equinox is called midnight, the summer solstice is called the eternal sun (long day), and the winter solstice is called the short day. There are also pre-Qin ancient books saying that the sun is in the middle of the day.
