摘      要：Etiquette （禮 Li, or ceremonial rules） is essentially a narrative symbol laden on human body （體 Ti）. The practice and belief in etiquette and body are observable points which cannot be ignored in genetics exploration of ＂etiquette＂. This article makees an archaeological excavation on ＂Li＂ （禮）,＂Ti＂ （體）, and the metaphorical meaning of such phrases as ＂ringing jade to show etiquette＂ （鸣玉以相 ）, ＂practicing etiquette by wearing jade＂ （佩玉践形） and so on.
