The celebrant took his figurine and walked out of the room and stood on the west steps, facing east. Sigong closed the doors and windows. The wisher told the host: Licheng, and then walked out of the temple gate with the figurine; Arishi took the prayer from the hand of the wisher and sent it to the wisher's home.

At this point, our "Liturgy" has finally been written! Through the study of the 17 articles of "Etiquette", we should understand why China is called the state of etiquette.

In ancient China, where religious rituals were not well developed, primitive religious ceremonies such as sacrifices of the Chinese nation did not develop into formal religions like some other ethnic groups, but were quickly transformed into the form of rituals and institutions to restrain the hearts of the people of the world. "Etiquette" is a detailed etiquette system that tells people what clothes to wear on what occasion, in which direction or position to stand or sit in, how to do each step, and so on.

"Etiquette" is a compilation of etiquette systems in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which records various rituals such as crowns, marriages, funerals, sacrifices, townships, shooting, courts, and appointments in the Zhou Dynasty. As an ancient classic, "Rites of Etiquette" has high academic value. The content of the book is very ancient and covers a wide range of sources, just like a long scroll of ancient social life, and is one of the important historical materials for the study of ancient social life. The ritual system recorded in the "Rites" also had a far-reaching impact on later generations, and various rituals of crown weddings and funerals were inherited by later generations.

Let's step out of the world of liturgy for a moment and appreciate something else.

A golden light sprinkled on the sea, the sunset will scatter the last splendor to the sea, the sea level is sparkling, the golden light is shining, and the sea water under the setting sun makes the last trace of blue also touched. The gentle waters gently lapped my feet, and I embraced the warmest moments with open arms. I love the broad mind of the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves, she can take it into her arms; No amount of wind and rain could break her; No matter how many rivers there are, she can hold them; I would like to be a swallow that reclaims the sea, filling in her rolling waves, filling in her raging anger, leaving only a calm, soft sea.

Walk through a lot of roads, experience a lot of stories, slowly chew the taste of life, no matter how many peaks and loops you experience, no matter how many confusions and troubles in the story, the awakening of the heart is to bring life back to the simplicity and peace of life. It turns out that everything can be peaceful when the heart is peaceful, and the best taste is bland.

No matter how determined you are in the first place, no one knows what will happen until the day the result comes out. So instead of worrying, work hard. Throw away hesitation, that will only be a waste of time; Throw away the worries, that will only distract us. All we can do is believe in ourselves and do our best. Remember the determination we made at that time, as long as the road we chose was our own, we would not be afraid to go far.

Life is not easy, because we have to go through a lot of things in our lives, and we don't know which thing will turn us down. Life is easy, we only need to do one thing well, and that is to improve ourselves. How can I improve myself? We must learn to eat, learn to sleep, learn to exercise, learn how to increase knowledge and reflect value in work, learn how to maintain family and love, learn how to treat friendship, and know what kind of mentality to use to face surprises and accidents in life. In addition to that, if we have a dream in our hearts, it is even better.

No matter where we go, we should understand that memories are an endless road, all past springs will no longer exist, and even love that seems tenacious and crazy is only a fleeting reality in the final analysis. Life is actually similar to dreaming, if you are too serious, you will wake up, and if you are too serious, you will not be calm.
