The meaning of sitting etiquette
In traditional China etiquette, sitting had a rich meaning. In ancient times, sitting posture in formal occasions required respect. For example, sitting on one's knees, with one's upper body upright and one's buttocks pressed back on one's calves and feet that were flat on the ground. This was the standard posture for formal occasions. One needed to maintain an upright and straight body to reflect one's self-cultivation and respect for others. Before the Han Dynasty, most of the formal occasions were sitting on the ground, kneeling on both knees, with the lower legs flat, and the buttocks naturally attached to the heels. When serious, the body was straight and the eyes were level. This kind of sitting posture was called "flat sitting","sitting" or "sitting". When the subordinate faced the superior, the sitting posture with the head slightly lowered was called "sitting upright". There was also the "sitting posture", which meant that the body should sit upright, the calves should not be stretched out, the soles of the feet should not touch the ground, and the eyes should be at the same level. Those who lowered their heads slightly and looked at the knees of the Venerable One opposite them were called "respectful sitting"; those who lowered their heads and looked not far away were called "solemn sitting"; those who lowered their heads and looked at the ground with their elbows drooping were called "humble sitting". In addition to these more solemn sitting postures, there were also sitting postures in an unofficial setting or in a situation where both parties were familiar with each other. For example,"squatting" meant that the buttocks were on the ground, the legs were naturally bent together, and the hands were sitting on the knees;"Jichu" meant that the buttocks were on the ground, and the two legs were straight. However, this kind of sitting posture was considered impolite in ancient times, such as "sitting without a dustpan" mentioned in the Book of Rites. Sitting posture was first a form of courtesy, and then a form of etiquette. It reflected social order and the norms and respect in interpersonal communication. With the development of the times, tables and chairs became more common. Although sitting posture had changed a lot, the respect and solemnity of traditional sitting etiquette were still reflected in modern etiquette, such as in some traditional ceremonies or specific cultural exchange scenes.
