Modern explanation
What is "politeness"
If you don't learn "Li", Li can't stand. "Guanzi Herdsmen" said that "the granary actually knows etiquette, and you will know honor and disgrace when you have enough to eat and wear warm clothes". Since ancient times, folk weddings, funerals, going to school and offering sacrifices have been attended by officials of rites and music. Confucius was a courtesy officer for many times in the previous generation, and Confucius learned courtesy when he was young. "Play for children, imperial guards. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were six departments: Jiaoshe, Le Tai, Advocacy, Taifu and Taiwei. In the Ming Dynasty, Taichang Division was set up, and Taichang Division was set up with Qing, Cheng, Dian, Xie Lvlang, Doctor and Lang. Modern officials set up the protocol of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in charge of national gifts and foreign etiquette. Foreign-related hotels shall have the post of Chief Protocol Officer, who shall be responsible for hotel protocol affairs. The official professional qualification of the Chief Protocol Officer is certified by Golden Key International. (Quoted from Nan's blog)
What is "music"
When there is a ceremony, there must be a banquet to celebrate the face, and when there is a banquet to celebrate the face, there must be a accompaniment by the merchants of Wuyin Palace. The ancient government set up a music official to be responsible for celebrating the banquet in the palace. According to historical records, Confucius mainly had three teachers. According to legend, he once "asked Lao Dan for gifts, learned music from Changhong, and learned piano from teachers". During the Spring and Autumn Period, a famous music official in Lu was one of Confucius' teachers, and Confucius had studied piano from him. In Historical Records, he said that he was "an official with a clear blow, but he could play the piano". In the Tang Dynasty, a music official was set up in the pear garden, which was composed of envoys, envoys, judges and sacrificial officials. Modern music has developed into a cultural industry.

What is "shooting"
Shooting is one of the six ancient arts in China. Confucius said in the Analects of Confucius: "A gentleman who defeats a soldier without fighting is a gentleman who climbs up and drinks." Therefore, "shooting" is not only a kind of sports activity, but also a way to cultivate a gentleman's demeanor by self-cultivation. Archery in ancient China included archery and slingshot, and crossbows were invented in the Spring and Autumn Period. Among them, archery has been paid more attention in history because of its very important role in military and hunting activities. Archaeologists once found a stone arrow 28,000 years ago at the Zhiyu cultural site in Shanxi, which shows that humans have already used bows and arrows. Wu Zetian established a martial arts system in the Tang Dynasty, which stipulated nine criteria for selecting and assessing talents, five of which were archery, including long stamping, horse shooting, step shooting, flat shooting and barrel shooting. Today's "shooting" art should actually be comprehensive, including modern pistols, rifles and other live-fire shooting sports, as well as ancient archery, slingshots and crossbows.

What is an "empire"
The scope of "defense" is driving, but whether it is modern or ancient, it includes "driving" of transportation and "driving" of politics, leadership and management. The famous cases in ancient China include "Wang Zhaoxiang studied under Wang Zichao" and "Tian Ji Horse Racing", which show that the skill of driving is not only a kind of courage, but also a kind of wisdom, including the comprehensive optimization of a certain problem in operational research, driving and leadership.

What is a "book"
Books, as the name implies, are the art of calligraphy and painting. It is wrong to count painting and calligraphy as a skill. China's painting and calligraphy is not only an elegant skill, but also a tool and magic weapon for self-cultivation. Many bureaucrats attach their hobbies to calligraphy and painting, not only to exercise their skills, but also to make readers think twice. (Quoted from Nan's blog)
What is a "number"
Number, namely mathematical number, has been extended to "mathematical chemistry" in modern times. The development of ancient mathematics in China has a long history, and the formation of ancient mathematics system in China is marked by the appearance of nine chapters of arithmetic in Han Dynasty. Ancient mathematicians attributed the origin of mathematics to the Book of Changes and the Book of Rivers. For example, Qin, a famous mathematician in the Song Dynasty, said: "The six arts of Zhou teaching are realized. A bachelor's degree or a doctor's degree is never enough. ..... Since the river map, Luo Shu's secrets, gossip and nine domains are intricate and subtle. As for the use of Dayan and Huangji, personnel changes are inevitable, and the feelings of ghosts and gods cannot be hidden. " (Quoted from Nan's blog)
