"Although the night is over, his face can not be meticulous, prudent precepts must be respectful. If you are respectful, you will live long.” This quotation is taken from "The Source of Ancient Poetry" by Shen Deqian, a literary scholar of the Qing dynasty. In traditional culture, a respectful attitude is considered an important virtue and culture, which not only makes a person look more dignified and graceful, but also preserves inner peace and prolongs life.
