What does the sentence "Father and son don't sit at the same table, and uncles don't drink properly" mean?

To truly understand the meaning of this proverb, we must first look at it in two. The first sentence is that father and son are not at the same table. Accurately speaking, this sentence comes from "monarch, monarch, father and son" in The Analects of Confucius, which means that there are certain differences between monarch and son. Everyone should be clear about their identity and don't do that kind of overstepping behavior.

Of course, different father-son seats also have the same meaning, especially during the Spring Festival, when people of all ages get together. At this time, there must be some emphasized seats. For example, young people can't sit at the same table as old people. It can be said that many families have observed this etiquette until today. I remember very clearly that when I was a child, as long as there were guests at home, I had to eat the food in the back and had no chance to serve it.

It is easier to understand that it is inappropriate for an uncle to drink. Most of them pay attention to this etiquette when they get married. For example, uncles and nephews are about the same age at this time, but uncles should never propose a toast to nephews at this time, or they will break the rules.

Of course, many people think that these etiquette and rules are complicated and do not conform to modern people's concept of freedom, so many young people do things regardless of size. It is no exaggeration to say that many people have lost the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and this phenomenon must be stopped in time. Otherwise, it will fall from a state of etiquette to a state without etiquette, which is very unfavorable to the development of the whole country, so I also hope that everyone can pass on this etiquette.
