Stick #43: Treat Others with Courtesy (Neutral)
礼之用和为贵先，恭敬待人暖人心。谦恭有礼门庭旺，粗鲁无礼众疏离。
Plain reading
This lot says courtesy opens doors. Ritual use begins in harmony; respect warms hearts. Rude gate empties — polite gate gathers people and luck.
Interpretation
"Treat Others with Courtesy" is a neutral stick. In ritual, harmony is first; reverence makes people draw near. Courtesy is respect made visible — daily bow of mind brings wide road.
Advice
Greet, thank, apologize often. Courtesy is habit — lost politeness narrows path.
Drawn from Book of Etiquette and Yang Zhen's "four knowings" refusing gold — courtesy and integrity draw people close.
