The ancient city of Beijing's business and industry, the service sector has its unique culture, especially folk industry more of its potential cultural connotations. From its mode of operation, business ethics, professionalism, and architectural pattern and decorative atmosphere Menlian shop, we have a more distinct features than other sectors of the traditional cultural characteristics and folk culture of Beijing. Analyzed together, understand the customs, trust and communication is the biggest heavy feature Beijing folk industry.

Understand the customs. Folk customs of various ethnic groups by the industry is standing in the industry, it is to eat "meal etiquette" earn "Etiquette money". Practitioners, especially dispensers, trouble, and run the business on the outside, must be a bit full of "etiquette pass", "custom links", "Beijing Tong." To pass on the national Code system, at dawn ethnic folk beliefs, rituals and customs still learning, taboos. Its employees without exception, apprentices, partners Friends of the door must first be familiar with the customs. Many shops are in accordance with the customs regulations enacted, is tantamount to violation of customs regulations violate the shop. For example: Xiangla shop must understand the ruling and opposition parties up and down the gods to worship rites, rituals known gods worship on Christmas Day and the industry sector Patriarch for the timely preparation sold Smarter (like paper), Xiangla, land tax and other items. Old Jizao end of the calendar must be fully prepared to use "golden kitchen" (perennial worship like paper), "burning stove" (with a one-time offering of paper like), New Year's Eve with the Theosophical "Three Realms eighteen Buddhist gods of heaven and earth." "hundred" (the gods of heaven and earth album), offering two days of "Star God" with the horse God of Wealth "by Fu Jackpot God of Wealth" and the eighth day along with the star. In addition to paper as goalkeeper, while the remainder can not be treated as a sample or move Sapporo posted at the door, because this kind of paper, which represents itself as tablets, otherwise it will have been accused of "believers" of. Another example: Jing Han Chinese red and green paper shop by the end of the necessary money by hanging, hanging yellow temple with money, full of people with white, pink hanging money. Among them, red, green, and yellow can be used as money hanging hanging in front of the sample was applied, with the exception of white, pink and white hanging money must be placed in the cabinet, not just post, or certainty of Manchu accusations because that's representatives souls of ancestors. Another example: Sion shop more entertaining funeral rites have to understand, or you will spot a fool of myself. I saw a small shop Sion apprentice to a funeral home sent papered "drawing soul banner", is originally sent the hand pulling, into the funeral home, small apprentice think it should be "polite" some, so to Shouzhu up, like a funeral home funeral when playing the dutiful son gesture streamers, funeral home owner met with furious, is reflected in the shop where the shopkeeper living outside the paper put Sion, old shopkeeper said nothing, gave two big into this little apprentice bang on the ear, said: "you deserve to people's dutiful son really laugh at you to cabinet what to have to learn it?!!?" the old shopkeeper let the little apprentice to a funeral home owner to apologize, deep bow three bow, said: "children do not understand the customs, I beg your pardon! In the future I will educate him. "This matter is considered temporarily closed. However, after two tie paste on the first floor in front of the library stand up, the old treasurer of the door to the master rewards for" beer money ", the owner did not even eyelid lift. There are old shopkeeper deep emotion He said: "our trip is eating customs rice, violating a taboo that people can do to make money?" in fact, he claims that common folk throughout the industry, whether hi car shop, bar room, are alone, all weddings must know the customs of different nationalities, different social status, different religious beliefs, otherwise it is impossible to conduct business.

Disloyal. Folk industry's biggest feature is to adhere to the "faith-based" business at the time of admission, if the conditions are not due to cabinet, you can not access live (this is not wrong), but as long as the user should live under, must be on time , according to the quality and quantity to be honored. Otherwise, any excuse is not passed, that other industries can not compare. Never seen in the past, there is a bride's family to marry in the day, the account on the shelf support, friends and family to Hershey, but the chair, gave the ceremonial "leave the stage"; at the same time did not see a funeral home, set well, the day, the bar room of the Red Army, ceremonial drumming to "put out of the car." From the whole social history, look at the history of industry and commerce, from the ruling and opposition parties Heritage anecdotal point of view, almost could not find such a precedent. As long as the booked day, regardless of wind and rain, it is "a small knife top wok" have to fulfill the covenant. When the user to change another day (pay more money), not allowed to spread to breach the contract could not "live." If the shop side of the human being can not resist natural disasters (such as water, fire, earthquake, war) since when exceptions, users will not blame. Furthermore, all of the lease was based on user must have a good talk, good experience color, variety, fineness, number, and may not have any "stealing hands." That year, all walks of life are built to let users on the same day on-site inspection of the system, where the sub-user requirements can be swapped at any time.

Heavy communication. The third characteristic is the folk industry people say, heavy communication. In the past, salesmen also stresses "days as location, terrain and better", "and is a treasure." Social interaction, interpersonal relationships are the lifeblood of the industry folk.

First, improve collaboration among peers, for example: hi hi car shop and car shop between; between the bar room and bar room; shop between Sion and Sion shop; shop between the shroud and shroud are required to work together to spread ...... to pass on. The so-called "collaboration", mainly in the introduction to each other "trading business" on either the employer or the lease, must pass on production of goods. Who own shops or should not be, but to manual labor, immediately introduced to the brothers associates or contacts shops. In this way, both to meet the requirements of users, between users establish credibility, and in the future will be rewarded benefit counterparts.

The second is related to the industry and good relations with the Bank, such as: Xiangla shop if they do not set up workshops, Xiangla can not be made, it is necessary to purchase from the outside, it is necessary to improve collaboration with the Bureau of sub-wax, incense factory. Another example: Paper Shop Sion head helmet head is used for products; paper flowers are used in florist products; various colors of paper used, etc, is Shujie Beijing store paper goods. So, Sion shop must work closely with the relationship between the families. These experts have taken the relationship between the families for preferential treatment, to be cheaper than the layman potential buyers, that the "give way to keep power."

The third is to maintain the cooperative relationship between the various folk industry, forming a "Internet", not only to compete but also cooperate with each other, mutual help, the competition is carried out in co-operation with each other on the basis of, rather than on the basis of mutual "defeating" the ongoing. This is called "loyalty." Must adhere to the "justice for profit '' principle." Righteousness "is the means," profit "is the goal.

"Red mouth" hi car shop to collaborate with each other as the main line: hi car Shop - Shop Blue dowry - divination life museum - the Band - guy child seat Shop - Shop studio - Jing Cai Bureau - major restaurant ......

"White" bar room to the main line of mutual cooperation: bar room - coffin shop - Shroud Village - Shop Sion - the yin and yang of Health - the Band - guy child seat Shop - Shop studio - Jing Cai Bureau - major restaurant - there Tingling temporary resting temples ......

These folk industry has a "business" can be introduced to each other, so no worries about no business. Old shop (not just a folk industry) on the habits are not posted reported child, leaflets, local newspapers, on the radio, on cinema advertising, especially the folk industry dipped almost funeral like industry, can not be propaganda, to carry out its business, mainly recommended by the introduction of the industry related to each other or friends. Therefore, practitioners has always been a friend of fancy, universally pro. Where people to contact the business acquaintances, whether strangers, all friendships, treated with courtesy, let the other feel warm, sincere and willing to deal with them.

In addition, the official, local authorities and police leaders have cotton, to draw out deliberately with their "friends" in order to make it your own shop "patron" for their support, to avoid being among them in business a feature should also be mentioned, but also its Achilles heel.Most practitioners thought stubborn, old-fashioned, rigid, maintaining the status quo subjective awareness of the objective situation, on the whole "climate" of change turn a blind eye. From the late late Ming to the Republic there is little innovation in the original basis. Of course, this is also bound by the nature of the industry itself. Therefore, since the 1950s, due to the changes in social ideology, most industry folk destruction is inevitable.

Due to the long history of feudal society period, consistent ideology, customs official ceremony with the people up and down the ruling and opposition together form the identity, it has a relatively stable, so this historical period folk industry has correspondingly stable, prosperous . Especially when the Qing Dynasty called "Kangxi and Qianlong, peace and harmony," the country's political, economic considered a relatively prosperous and stable, folklore and folk industry have been more fully developed, many industry folk are starting from this point onwards . This is folklore and folk industry's "golden age", has since been not bad. Although the late Qing internal and external, but up and down the ruling and opposition parties and folk customs unchanged, folk industry is still based on the development of space, and to some extent still thriving than other industries.

After the Revolution, although the state system, system of government has changed, but it is to stand out from the feudal system of government, not only the composition of the social structure has not changed, but more important is the ideology becomes difficult moment, remains the "holy church biography of Confucius and Mencius unification" and still comply with the Confucian courtesy rule policy. But also because the country had not been revised Code system, the people on the etiquette at a loss, all weddings, festivals, as old-fashioned. As for the "European Wind East" and trendy New Culture Movement "May Fourth Movement", folk underlying impact is very small. Folk industry appears only a purple house wedding supplies Service only. The old folk industry Zhaoxing ever. After the successful Northern Expedition, the National Government Orders under repeated, disabling the feudal era weddings and rituals, but folk essentially unchanged, Beijing local culture has not changed, the composition of the social structure remains unchanged, subjective and objective conditions are not ripe to change our habits. As Belinsky in "fantasy literature" and said: "Customs is a sacred, inviolable, in addition to environmental and cultural progress, but do not succumb to the power of anything." Folk rely on an executive order to solve the problem It is unrealistic. As a result, the old folk and old folk industry is still in the storm stays on socio-economic crisis.

Puppet old folk, old folk industry using borrowed time. After the fall of North China, and many other counties, rural landowners, the wealthy have to carry movable property and family property in Beijing refuge," they when in Rome, in case of weddings and Birthday Celebration CD is in accordance with Beijing vulgar. So, while other industries have been closed down due to the economic crisis, but hi car shop, bar room, shop and other folk Sion industry continue to increase.

After the victory, the KMT government total collapse of the economy, this is an industry folk linger period.

Due to inflation, price instability of influence, folk industry is very sluggish. When people consider is food and clothing food and clothing, rather than rituals, pomp.

Folk industry real "Doomsday" is after the earth-shaking changes occurred in 1949, its survival of the social basis - the old ideology was completely washed away, the old cultural customs of total collapse. It is "Without the skin, hair adhere to." All direct service to faith worship, weddings and Birthday Celebration, age folk festival in the industry that is been closed down, relentless history as it painted on the iron end. Other indirect Folk service industries also have to change the direction and management of the project, every thing, "mouth", of course, will lose the so-called "folk industry" original character.

Throughout the rise and fall of the old folk industry, destruction, surely this is a social ideology colorful and ever-changing kaleidoscope, is the rise and fall of a folk culture, the history of the evolution of everything, is a flesh and bones of social history, is a specific real people life history historical period.
