“礼”的内涵是什么？生活在信息闭塞的年代，孔子用最朴素的方法展现了他

的“礼”——尊重。
但生活在互联网时代的我们就大不一样了。旅游前，我们细心地做好攻略，好
让自己在旅行时做到入乡随俗。

懂礼，是一个很宽泛的概念。各地往往有不同的礼仪。英语课本上有一句
话说得很好：“It is worth spending the time to learn about the customs of a country

before you go there. That way, you will know what you are supposed to do in different
situation.”

是啊，“礼”的精髓大概便是用心。只要用心去做，就没有什么做不到。（方文）

英译

When Confucius first attended the service at the State Cathedral (Ancestral Temple
of the reigning prince), he inquired as to what he should do at every stage of the service.

Somebody thereupon remarked, “Who tells me that the son of the plebeian of Ts’ow is a
man who knows the correct forms?” When Confucius heard of the remark, he said, “That

is the correct form!”
