The ancients thought: "First correct the clothes, after the bright things." Let the students pay attention to their appearance neat and tidy, is the first to take the first lesson.

Students stand in formal robes, black satin waistcoats and round black satin hats, signifying consistency of appearance and reminding people to behave decently. At enrollment, new students are asked to stand one by one, and a teacher will help them in turn to straighten their coats and crowns.

Then, "neatly" lined up in front of the school assembly. Only after a few moments of respectful standing could they enter the school under the guidance of the teacher. This is the equivalent of clearing one's mind, but it is also a sign of respect for one's sages and teachers.

2. Worshiping the Teacher

Once a teacher, always a father, the first thing to do is to worship the teacher. Before paying homage to the teacher, the student has to pay homage to an even more important teacher, that is, Confucius, the "Greatest and Most Sacred Teacher". Not only do the students pay respect to Confucius, but the teacher also pays respect to him by performing the "three kneeling and nine kowtowing" ritual. After paying homage to Confucius, the students then pay homage to the teacher, just "one knee and three kowtows".

After kowtowing and sending gifts, the students were a bit disheveled, and it was time to "purify their hands and hearts". Teachers will be called to bring a pot of water, students should be requested by the teacher, put their hands into the water basin "clean hands". "The method of washing the hands is to wash them once in the front and once in the back, and then dry them.

4. Opening of the Brush Ceremony

This is the last program of the opening ceremony, which includes the opening of the wisdom of the vermilion sand, the beating of the drum, and the opening of the brush in red.

The "Cinnabar" Ceremony involves the teacher holding a brush dipped in the color of cinnabar and dotting a red mole on the student's eyebrow. This is similar to the "auspicious mole" on the forehead of Indian women.
