Apart from firecrackers, flowers bloom day by day. Hello, everyone, I'm Grandpa Chang of Liuyang Fireworks Chain.

There are stories in firecrackers and learning everywhere in life. Fireworks on earth have a different taste, laughing and saying "who knows" in ancient and modern times. Starting today, every Wednesday, Uncle Chang will accompany you to talk about the secular culture and stories.

It's not so easy for Uncle Chang to tell you folk stories, because that's the ability outside the story, and you need to think, talk, comment and discuss in it to make everyone relaxed and happy. The level is limited, so I'll just talk and listen.

You are welcome to send us private messages about the common sayings and anecdotes you want to say.

Just after the exam, the little boy from the Chen family next door came to Uncle Chang's house for tea. The little boy said that he was very moved to see Uncle Chang say "thank you" the other day. Looking back on his three years in high school, the teachers were very kind to him, gave him a lot of encouragement, taught him a lot of life lessons, and let him through the most difficult stage. Now that he has graduated, he is reluctant to part with the teachers who get along with each other day and night. He has been thinking about preparing a meaningful gift for his teachers and doesn't know what to choose. Uncle Chang immediately gave the little boy a thumbs-up and gave him a big compliment. What a grateful child! For the sake of Mr. Chen's little boy and the students who are grateful to the teacher all over the world, Uncle Chang specially chose an issue today to talk about "grateful teachers" for everyone.

Chang Shu said: "When it comes to thanking teachers, Chang Shu thinks there are two main categories. The first category is etiquette, and the second category is gifts. Let's talk about' gifts' first. A few days ago, when I said' grateful to the teacher', I mentioned that the gift that students gave to the teacher was called Shu Xiu, usually ten pieces of dried meat. In addition, there are items such as food, drinks and cloth. Pay attention, you also need to prepare the' six gifts'. This' six rites', boy, is rich in connotation. What is this? First, celery, which means-studious, first shows that students have a correct and good attitude.

Secondly, lotus seed means the determination to "perceive the teacher's painstaking teachings" and "the students' painstaking and single-minded", and also the determination to work hard. Third, jujube, which means' looking forward to high school as soon as possible', expresses students' dreams and ambitions.

Fourth, red beans mean "luck shines brightly" and "cinnabar enlightens the mind". What is "cinnabar enlightenment"? In ancient times, it was a ceremony for teachers to dip cinnabar with a brush and point a red dot like a mole on students' eyebrows. Because of the homonym of "mole" and "wisdom", it is also called "cinnabar enlightening". This ceremony

Having said that, Uncle Chang would like to ask how many childhood memories "Red Dot" and "Memory Killing" have evoked. Please raise your hand to Uncle Chang. Haha, I believe many students will say,' Oh, when I was a child, after the performance on June 1st, I put a red dot on my forehead with lipstick. That's what it means. "Yes, this is the profoundness of our China culture. Everything has its connotation and origin.

Ok, let's get down to business. Let's continue to say' Six Rites'. The fifth object is longan, which means wisdom and round way, that is,' knowledge is extensive and fully prepared, action is square and meticulous'. This shows that students will study their lessons well, follow the sage's legacy and take the right path, be upright, be upright, be sincere and honest, seek truth from facts and be conscientious. The object of the sixth gift is the Shu Xiu jerky mentioned above, to express eternal gratitude to the teacher. Remember the teacher's kindness and pass on the message to solve the problem. Haha, folk customs are interesting, right? Our ancestors were ceilings that knew how to give gifts. "

You have to say, "Uncle Chang, Uncle Chang, haven't you said the etiquette of' Thank Teacher'?"

Uncle Chang said, "This is not coming. Speaking of "customs", in ancient times, we had to bow down, bow down, bow down, bow down, bow down, bow down, bow down and so on. What are the specific ways of worship? It's a long story. Leave a button today, and Uncle Chang will talk about it later.

You have to say, "Uncle Chang, Uncle Chang, haven't you said the etiquette of' Thank Teacher'?"

Uncle Chang said, "This is not coming. Speaking of' customs and habits', in ancient times, we bowed down, bowed down, bowed down, greeted, sang, honed, squatted, folded, and so on, as well as' three knocks and nine worships'. What is their specific style and what is suitable for the situation? It's a long story. Leave a button today, and Uncle Chang will talk about it later.

Today, Uncle Chang chose something related to "respecting teachers and valuing education" to introduce to you. So what gifts did our ancestors give the teachers? The Analects of Confucius records that "Luz arches and stands." The Teacher-Student Ceremony of the Hall of Rites in Qing Dynasty stipulates:' When imperial academy students meet imperial academy for the first time, the teacher is waiting in class. Students "go up from the east" (following the ancient ceremony, the lowest in the east and the highest in the west), make three obeisances to the teacher, and the teacher stands at attention and receives the ceremony. Then the students stand next to the teacher, the teacher is in the west, the students are in the east, facing the teacher and listening to the teacher's admonition. After the lecture, the students bowed three times and quit.

I usually visit my teacher in a private house, outside the door of the same name, etc. When called, the teacher greeted him at the steps, and the students climbed the steps to salute the teacher. When entering the door, the teacher is in front and the students are behind. Bow to the teacher in class, and the teacher bows to answer. The students stood up and stepped forward to help the teacher in the main seat. The teacher ordered to sit down, and the students sat down gratefully. Students should bow when tea is served and questions are asked. When dismissed, salute the teacher three times. The teacher goes forward, and then the students go outside the second door. The students saluted the teacher three times and asked him to go back. '

At this point, there must be a question in everyone's heart, that is, what are' Jugongli' and' Yi Li'? Uncle Chang told everyone that "Jugongli" and "Jugongli" are the same thing, that is, "Jugongli" is also called "Jugongli". According to the above, we all know that the most important ceremony our ancestors gave teachers was "bow and scrape", and "bow and scrape" was correct.

The posture is like this. When saluting, stand with your legs straight, your upper body upright or slightly tilted, and hold your chest with your hands. The man's right hand is inside, the left hand is outside, the woman is the opposite, and the right hand is outside, including the left hand. The most important thing for teachers is to salute with men, because in ancient times, students were mainly men, and then they posed and acted. What are the actions? Stretch out your arms like a drum, hold your hands on your chest or overlap them, and shake them rhythmically from top to bottom, or from inside to outside, but for special people, you need to bend over and bow your head slightly at the same time.

What special person? The ancients said: "People always respect you, saying that you are a monarch, a father and a teacher ... A monarch is a minister, a father is a son, and the strength of a monarch is not as good as that of a teacher, so the virtue of a teacher matches that of a monarch and a father." In other words, emperors, parents, elders and teachers usually bow their heads to show their special respect. Say, how long is the history of the bow ceremony? It has been more than 3,000 years since the Western Zhou Dynasty. Who invented it? I haven't heard of it yet, but the details can't be verified. According to historical records, it originated from the "legal system and etiquette system" of the Zhou Dynasty established by the Duke of Zhou, which is called "Zhou Li" for short, so it can be regarded as its inventor.

Speaking of which, ladies and gentlemen, remember that most of our ancient etiquette comes from this "Zhou Li". Who is this Duke of Zhou? The Book of Changes was written by the fourth son of Jiang Ziya student Zhou Wenwang, surnamed Ji Mingdan. He is Zhou Wuwang's uncle in the Romance of the Gods, and he has the functions of "Regent" and "Regent" in history. He also created this model. Later, when you hear Duke Zhou, you will know that you are talking about "Ji Dan".

Presumably you have to ask again: "Uncle Chang, Uncle Chang, do you have a gift that combines ancient and modern?"

Uncle Chang said: "In this matter of giving gifts, the emphasis is on the giver's mind and the recipient's satisfaction and experience. With regard to' thanking teachers', Uncle Chang thinks from the stories and deeds of our ancestors that under the fine tradition of the Chinese nation, innovation is the best gift for teachers, and what teachers want most is' respect, gratitude and feedback'.

Respecting teachers means respecting teachers' preaching, which is reflected in students' diligent learning attitude. Gratitude is mainly reflected in the fact that students follow the teacher's instructions and become a pure person who breaks away from low tastes. Haha, that is, take the right path, stand on your own feet and become a person who contributes to others, society and the country.

Feedback is reflected in that when a student makes a promise and makes achievements, everyone knows his teacher because of this student, which is the highest filial piety to the teacher. Secondly, students can remember their teachers when they are completely successful, visit them more and report their achievements to them.

However, on the occasion of graduation, it is a set of ceremonies and gifts that give teachers the greatest experience and satisfaction. Uncle Chang thinks we can set off fireworks to thank the teacher. In the atmosphere of gorgeous fireworks all over the sky, he bowed three times to his teacher and promised him that he would be on the right path for the rest of his life, stand firm, stand on his own feet, care about his country and the world, work hard and become a pillar of talents who will make contributions to society and the country for life. Think about it, the teacher will be moved and happy with this scene full of ritual and experience. Don't you think so? "

Ok, today Uncle Chang will nag "Thank you, Teacher". Here, Chang Shu wishes all the students in the world a bright future, good luck, dreams come true, all realize their ideals and become pillars of the country. Ok, next week, we will continue to make an appointment.
