Why must there be a ribbon-cutting ceremony before starting work? What do you mean, cut the ribbon?

There are two legends about the origin of ribbon-cutting. According to a legend, the ribbon-cutting originated in western Europe. The shipbuilding industry in ancient western Europe was relatively developed, and the launch of new ships often attracted thousands of spectators. In order to prevent the crowd from rushing to the new ship and causing accidents, the host set up a "defense line" with a rope far away from the hull before the new ship was launched. After the launching ceremony of the new ship is ready, the host will cut the ribbon for the audience to visit. Later, the rope was changed into a ribbon, and people named it "ribbon-cutting".

According to another legend, the ribbon-cutting originated in America. 19 12 years, a big department store in America will open soon. For good luck, the boss opened the shop door early in the morning and tied a cloth belt in front of it to attract attention. However, shortly before leaving the store, the boss's daughter, who is 10 years old, ran out of the store with a small bulldog and accidentally broke the cloth belt. Suddenly, customers waiting outside the door filed in and rushed to buy goods.

Soon, the boss opened a new store, and he made his daughter break the cloth belt on purpose, so he was rich. So people think that the little girl's broken ribbon is a good omen, and they follow suit, replacing it with ribbons and cutting it with scissors.
