Why did people in ancient times rely on cases when sitting?

Sitting with your body leaning against a table was extremely rude in ancient times and would make people feel rude and disrespectful. To this day, we are all talking about "sitting and standing," so sitting posture has been a very important social etiquette for us from ancient times to the present. Therefore, in the ancient times when feudal etiquette was important, this aspect was even more important. Therefore, today Let’s talk about ancient sitting postures.

There are roughly three types of sitting postures in ancient times. The first sitting posture is called "sitting on the back". This sitting posture involves crossing your feet and sitting cross-legged. This sitting posture is similar to the sitting posture of people in Buddhism when practicing. The second sitting posture is "dustpan". This sitting method is to stretch your legs forward and then sit down. It is called this because the body is upright and resembles a dustpan. The third sitting posture is "Zhi", which is to sit on your knees and place your buttocks on the legs and feet that are bent backwards. Therefore, these three sitting postures were basically used to show etiquette in ancient times.

In ancient times, it was taboo to sit in an improper posture. In ancient times, a person's sitting posture showed his cultivation and etiquette, so special attention was paid to whether he was sitting upright. You are required to maintain a good sitting posture when talking to others or at banquets. You must not bend your waist or stretch your legs to show your lazy side in front of everyone. If you do this, it will come across as arrogant and rude, which will make you annoying and annoying.

There are different sitting postures in different situations. If you sit incorrectly, it will be rude. Sitting postures like "Jiju" are generally only suitable for informal friends. Because they can be a little more relaxed, it is an indifferent behavior. However, if you use this sitting posture in some formal occasions, it will be considered rude and you will also be looked down upon. Therefore, there was a lot of emphasis on sitting posture in ancient times, but in fact it was just a constraint on etiquette.
