In ancient times, the opening ceremony was called "entering ceremony", which included four mysterious steps: dressing up, paying homage to the teacher, washing hands and heart, and writing. On the first day of school, the students got up early and came to school. The first teacher taught them the most basic principles of life and taught them to read and write. Then, they will pay homage to the statue of Confucius, which is a formal admission.

Opening ceremony is one of the four major ceremonies in the life of ancient literati, commonly known as yarn breaking. Students will get up early on the first day of school and come to school. The first teacher will teach them the most basic and simple truth of life, teach them to read and write, and then pay homage to Confucius before they can enter school. This ceremony is the opening ceremony.

The ceremony of "opening a pen" is a form of enlightenment education for children in China traditional culture. It was the first gift that China ancient scholars accepted during their growth. This ceremony, called "Breaking Meng", is a national folk cultural activity to promote Chinese excellent traditional culture, explore and learn the moral values in the classics of Chinese studies, and promote the ideological and moral construction of minors.

The opening ceremony of modern schools is divided into the following steps:

First of all, dress appropriately

"Clothes" not only means hiding shame, but more importantly, it reflects people's mental outlook. The so-called dress first, then understand things. Clothing is the best carrier to remind our ancestors of their excellent virtues, and it is also the first step to let children know books and understand them.

Second, cinnabar inspires wisdom.

The so-called "opening the eyes with cinnabar" is to use cinnabar to point a red mole in the middle of the forehead of a newly enrolled child, which is also called "opening the eyes". The implication is that children will be clear-headed, good at reading and read good books.

Third, drums are wise.

The purpose of "pass the parcel" is to let children be observant and open-minded.

Fourth, the enlightenment is painted red.

The step of "enlightening and painting red" is mainly to let children learn to write the word "person" under the guidance of teachers. The reason why I chose this Chinese character with simple strokes and far-reaching significance is that I hope my child can learn to be a man at the initial stage of life and know that being a man must first be as upright and upright as the word "human".
