What’s the secret sauce of Chinese civilization? China Media Group just dropped its 🔥2025 cultural bombshell: Chinese Etiquette & Ceremonies, a visually stunning series unpacking ‘Li’ – the ancient philosophy of ritual propriety that’s shaped China for 3,000+ years.
From Temple Rituals to TikTok Trends
Premiering this November, the show bridges dynastic traditions with modern life through AR reconstructions of Zhou Dynasty ceremonies and interviews with philosophy rockstars. Think of it as ‘Queer Eye’ meets Confucius – but with more jade bi discs and tea ceremonies. 🍵
Why Gen Z Cares
CMG’s producers told us: ‘Li isn’t just bowing – it’s the DNA of how Chinese people build relationships, do business, and create art.’ The series drops just as 78% of young Chinese netizens (per 2025 surveys) are reviving traditional customs through viral #Hanfu challenges and AI-powered ancestor veneration apps.
Global Premiere Alert
Available in 48 languages via CMG’s streaming platform, this is China’s soft power play for the TikTok generation. Pro tip: Watch the episode where tech CEOs explain how ‘Li’ principles shape China’s AI ethics frameworks. 🤖⚖️
