What gifts should ancient children prepare for school?

In ancient times, students had to be prepared for the opening ceremony when they entered school.

1, ceremony introduction:

Adult ceremony is not only the traditional etiquette custom and etiquette culture in China, but also the beginning of traditional culture education for children all their lives. Enlightenment ceremony originated from the ritual behavior of entering private schools in ancient China. When children begin to learn and read, it is called "enlightenment". In the traditional culture of China, the "enlightenment ceremony" is the first ceremony of life and an important symbol of life growth.

2, the role of the opening ceremony:

Education should start with dolls, and enlightenment education is the first step of life education. The vivid and solemn enlightenment ceremony made children know Confucius, an ancient saint, and felt the excellent traditional culture of the motherland from an early age. This is the first lesson of moral education and will play a subtle role in children's growth.

The process of the opening ceremony:

1, teacher's dress:

The teacher tidied up the clothes for the children. "Dressing" not only means hiding shame, but also reflects people's mental outlook. It is the best carrier to remind our ancestors of their excellent moral qualities, and it is also the first step to let children know how to read and understand. This program means "get dressed first, then understand things."

2, presided over the ceremony:

Appreciate the teacher to enlighten wisdom, break the ignorance of teaching, and worship the teacher. As the old saying goes, "My parents taught me to be a teacher." It can be seen how important a good teacher with both ability and political integrity is to every enlightenment student.

3. Cinnabar branches:

The teacher dips cinnabar in the middle of the students' foreheads with a brush, which is called "smart record" or "opening the eyes", so that students can remember to use their eyes and ears well and concentrate on their work, and then they will become smart students with bright eyes, clear minds and good reading. Cong just uses his ears and listens attentively. Ming is to use your eyes and concentrate on watching.

4. Drum Zhi Ming:

In the initiation ceremony, children beat drums to express their clear wishes. The louder the knock, the more ambitious and confident they are, and the more likely they are to succeed. This process means that children are "smart, alert, open-minded and entrepreneurial"
