What kind of ceremonies were usually held in ancient times when schoolchildren were enrolled in schools:

In ancient times, the ceremony of the opening of the pen was usually held when schoolchildren were enrolled in schools.

In ancient times, the opening ceremony was called the "Pan Ceremony", which consisted of four mysterious steps: the ceremony of the correcting of the clothes and crown, the ceremony of paying homage to the teacher, the ceremony of purifying the hands and heart, and the ceremony of the opening of the brushes. On the first day of school, children woke up early and came to the school hall, where they were taught the most basic principles of life by their enlightened teachers, and taught to read and write. Then, they have to worship the statue of Confucius, which is considered to be the official enrollment.

The opening of the brush ceremony, which is one of the four great rites of life for ancient readers, is also commonly known as the breaking of the Meng Meng. When the ceremony is held, the teacher will use vermilion sand to put a red mole on the students' eyebrows, which means he hopes that the students will be able to have a bright heart and eyes, and that they will be able to learn by example in their future studies.

The opening of the brush ceremony, one of the four rites of passage in the life of a scholar in ancient times, is commonly known as the breaking of the Meng Meng. Schoolchildren would get up early on the first day of school and come to the school hall, where they would be taught the most basic and simple truths of life by an enlightened teacher, and taught to read and write, and then worship the statue of Confucius before being allowed to enroll in school. This ceremony is known as the opening of the brush ceremony. The ceremony is a part of traditional Chinese culture.

The ceremony is a form of initiation education for children to begin to read and write, and it is the first big gift received by ancient Chinese readers in the process of growing up, and this ceremony is known as the breakthrough of the Meng Meng, which is a national folk cultural activity to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, to excavate and learn the moral value of the classics of Chinese culture, and to promote the construction of minors' ideology and morality.

In terms of clothing for participating in the ritual of opening the brush, traditional Chinese national costume hanbok should be used. Teachers can wear Zhu Zi deep clothes, male students can wear straight train and female students wear 襦裙; when the initiation teacher is doing the education about honoring teachers and filial piety to parents, the teacher is not directly reciting the ancient text, but explaining the text in a more popular and easy-to-understand way, catering to the children's needs.

At the end of the opening ceremony, the school palace also arranged for the schoolchildren to watch a special puppet show, combining movement and static. Clothes and crowns do not only mean to cover shame, but more importantly reflect the spirit of the person. As the saying goes, "To be correct in one's clothes and crown, one must be clear in one's reasoning". The crown is the best carrier for us to remember the excellent character of our ancestors, and it is also the first step to let the children know the book and reason.
