"If the country is not ruled by rituals, it is like plowing a field without a rake." Ren Zhoufang, former director of the Baoji City Cultural Relics Bureau, said that the Zhou Dynasty people made rituals and music to systematize various behavioral norms, forming a code of ethics and moral norms. From food and living, marriage and funeral and other daily small things, to sacrifices, conquests and other major national events, etiquette seeped into all aspects of social life of the Zhou people. The Zhou rituals emphasized the cultivation of morality and the cultivation of a gentleman's personality, which led to the formation of a stable and orderly situation in the whole society.

"China is known as a country of etiquette, and since ancient times, people have been taught to be polite, to understand etiquette and to know manners, or else they are being rude. The culture of etiquette is an important symbol of Chinese culture." Ren Zhoufang said.

For thousands of years, the charm of the Zhou Dynasty has survived. Ancient and exquisite bronzes and inscriptions tell the story of the far-reaching origins of the Chinese state of etiquette.
