Features: The Chinese nation has long been renowned as the "Land of Etiquette." For thousands of years, "etiquette" has almost been synonymous with civilization. The degree to which an individual adapts to and masters it reflects their level of civilization and upbringing. With the development of the economy and society, people's social interactions have become increasingly frequent. In social activities, people increasingly realize that only those who understand, uphold, and practice etiquette can earn the respect and trust of others. Conversely, behaviors that violate, betray, or abandon etiquette are often condemned by society. As a result, more and more people are showing great concern for etiquette. However, this awareness and concern may not immediately align with the focus and specific content of etiquette itself. Many people have limited knowledge of etiquette, especially regarding the unique norms of modern social life, which they find unfamiliar. This gap in etiquette knowledge leaves many people troubled in social interactions. How can this disparity be bridged? The idea behind the book "Modern Etiquette Tutorial" stems from reflections on these issues. The purpose of this book is to introduce a series of knowledge about etiquette to those concerned with the subject, deepening their understanding and appreciation of etiquette, helping them better apply etiquette in social interactions, and achieving successful communication. The book is divided into 10 chapters, including Introduction, Cultivation of Etiquette, Personal Etiquette, Family Etiquette, Social Etiquette, Official Etiquette, Business Etiquette, International Etiquette, Customary Etiquette, and Etiquette in Written Communication. The rationale for this arrangement is as follows: As a tutorial, it should strive to comprehensively reflect the existing achievements of this course and systematically elaborate its fundamental knowledge. As a tutorial that explains and introduces etiquette issues, it should adhere to the principle of unifying theory and practice. It must not only emphasize the theoretical depth of etiquette practice by summarizing and generalizing it but also highlight its practicality based on the characteristics of etiquette itself.
