What are the etiquette of sitting posture?

In ancient times, it was extremely rude to rely on several cases, which would make people feel rude. Today we are all talking about "sitting, standing, standing", so sitting posture is a very important social etiquette for us from ancient times to the present, so we paid more attention to this aspect in feudal ancient times, so today we will talk about ancient sitting posture.

The ancient sitting posture can be roughly divided into three types. The first sitting posture is called "sitting cross-legged". This sitting posture is to sit cross-legged with your feet crossed. This sitting posture is similar to that of Buddhist practitioners. The second sitting posture is "sitting on a dustpan". This sitting posture is to stretch your legs forward and then sit down. Because the body is relatively straight, similar to a dustpan, so it is called this. The third sitting posture is "squatting". This sitting posture is kneeling with your hips on your legs and your feet bent back. So at that time, these three sitting postures were basically used to express etiquette in ancient times.

In ancient times, sitting posture was forbidden. In ancient times, a person's sitting posture reflected his cultivation and etiquette, so he paid special attention to whether the sitting posture was correct. It is required to talk with people or to maintain a good sitting posture at a banquet. You should not bend over and stretch your legs to show your lazy side in front of everyone. If you do this, you will feel arrogant and rude, so you will be annoyed and angry.

There are different sitting postures on different occasions, and it will be impolite to sit incorrectly. For example, the sitting posture of "sitting on a basket" is generally only suitable for informal friends, because it can be looser, so it is indifferent behavior. However, if you use this sitting posture on some formal occasions, it will be considered rude and looked down upon. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a lot of emphasis on sitting posture, which was actually just a constraint on etiquette.
