China is a country of etiquette.The important period of Chinese etiquette formation was in the Zhou Dynasty.The Sang Li are the representatives of the ancient books recording the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.The Zhou Li are divided into Ji Li,Xiong Li,Jun Li,Jia Li and Bin Li,and the later generations will divide Chinese etiquette on this basis.Xiong Li is the ceremony of mourning and mourning in case of ferocious events,including Sang Li,Huang Li,Diao Li,Gui Li and Xu Li.As one of the Xiong Li,the Gui Li is a very important etiquette under the background of the system of enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty.The ceremony is a kind of etiquette in which the Zhou royal family meets the disaster-stricken princes,the Zhou royal family enables other princes to the disaster-affected princes,and the allies to the disaster-stricken allies to make up for the losses suffered by the disaster-stricken country.Regarding the origin of the Gui Li,the origin of the Gui Zi and the environment of the Zhou Dynasty,we believe that it was the Huo Ji of the Yin Dynasty that was replaced by the Gui Ji in the Zhou Dynasty.After the king of Zhou entrusted the princes to feudal vassals,if any of the princes suffered losses after the disaster,Zhou Tianzi needed to formulate certain policies to reduce the losses and restore the national power in order to protect the princes and maintain their rule.Therefore,the Gui Li of the fierce rites is made following the Gui Li.As the reason for the princes to implement the Gui Li,on the basis of predecessors,the author summed up the Wei Bai,Huo Zai,and Kou Luan that these princes suffered relatively major events that caused them to suffer heavy losses Regarding the implementation of the ceremony,after a disaster,the vassal state must first carry out corresponding disaster relief activities in the country,and then they need to report their disasters to the allies.After the vassal states have been accused,they usually meet to discuss how to provide assistance.After the discussions,the vassal states will assist the disaster-stricken country.As a etiquette,the Gui Li also has its characteristics.The characteristics of the Gui Li are mainly as follows:Since the rite is mainly carried out in the alliance countries,it is the obligation to assist the disaster-stricken country when the oath of the alliance becomes its obligation,and it is responsible for presiding.The leader of the princes’ rituals is the leader;in the implementation of the princes’ rituals,the big and the small princes do not want to be equal.There is a certain gap between them.During the Spring and Autumn period,the emperor of Zhou declined and the power of the princes increased.During this period,there was a phenomenon that if the emperor was in trouble,the princes would assist the emperor,which in turn would assist the emperor.The Gui Li gradually matured in the Spring and Autumn Period,and also played an important role in the process of diplomatic relations between the princes and states during the Spring and Autumn Period.The first is to stay close and close to each other to consolidate unity;the second is to help the disaster-stricken countries and to survive the disaster together;the third is that the Gui Li is an important means of survival for large and small countries in the process of contending for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.In general,the ceremony is not only a political means,but also an economic means.Its fundamental purpose is to protect the interests of the princes and consolidate their rule.The Gui Li in the Spring and Autumn Period belongs to the important mutual aid etiquette in the diplomatic relations between countries.However,after the Qin State unified the six countries,the ritual lost its value of existence,and did not continue to exist in later generations like the Sang Li and Huang Li of the Xiong Li.They continues to have its very important influence and function..The Gui Li seemed to disappear after that.Only the Gui Li continued to exist.As a sacrificial activity for praying for disasters,it was widely held by people,and after the founding of Taoism,Gui Li has become a magic activity to eliminate disasters.Although the Gui Li has basically disappeared in later generations due to the loss of its original function,but in the Gui Li,the function of reconciling the property to save disasters was stored in the later generations in the form of Gui Li.The formation and inheritance of the excellent traditional culture and spirit of the Chinese nation cannot do without Chinese etiquette.This is where the Chinese nation has a long history of energy.The concept of the Gui Li that helping each other to rescue disasters deeply affects people,so that people understand that mutual assistance,solidarity and friendship can overcome difficulties and go further.This is also China’s attitude towards other disaster-stricken countries in the world,it also affects China’s foreign aid foreign policy.
