Polite address is not only a respectful attitude, but also an elegant demeanor.
New era, new fashion. At present, we only call each other's pronouns "you" and "you", with peers using you and elders using you. In ancient times, there were many appellations, such as Ru, Er, Ruo, Er and Nai. At that time, no matter who you talked to, you rarely used these words, and you thought it was impolite to call them that way. The ancients invented some elegant appellations to show respect and courtesy to each other.
1. Address each other by improving their status, such as "son, master, gentleman, strong man".
2. On seniority, address each other, such as "elder, father, father-in-law, mother, wife, old man".
3. Match names, such as Zhuge Liang called "Kong Ming" or "Mr. Wolong", Cao Cao called "Meng De" and Si Mahui called "Mr. Water Mirror".
4. When addressing the identity of the other party, add the words "virtuous, respectful, high, expensive, expensive". Such as "good nephew, good husband, love husband, expensive husband".
5. Calling each other by their department means that they dare not point at each other out of respect. For example, "Your Majesty" is called the emperor; Your Highness is called the queen and the prince; Your Excellency and your first step are called ordinary people.
Civilized speech and elegant manners are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. If a person can be eloquent, gushing, earnest and inspiring, it not only shows his profound cultural heritage, but also reflects his noble moral quality. A warm word, a thoughtful look, seemingly insignificant, actually has far-reaching significance.
