Significance of the Entrance Ceremony:

1. The Entrance Ceremony allows students to make clear their identity and responsibility as a student of the academy. In the solemn and grand entrance ceremony, students, by accepting the solemnity and seriousness of the entrance rite, realize that as a member of the academy, they should abide by the rules and regulations of the academy and assume the responsibility and duty of study. This realization of identity and responsibility has a positive contribution to the growth and development of students.

2. The entrance ceremony can cultivate students' moral character. Through the traditional ceremonies such as dressing up and paying homage to teachers, students understand that they should respect their teachers and pay attention to etiquette, so as to cultivate a good moral character. At the same time, the ceremony of paying homage to Confucius also reflects the unity of academics and morals, letting students understand that the way of learning should be combined with moral cultivation.

3. The entrance ceremony also promotes students' reverence for knowledge. Through solemn ceremonies and traditional etiquette, students feel the majesty of the academy and the sanctity of knowledge, thus stimulating their reverence for knowledge and passion for the pursuit of learning.

4, the entrance ceremony is also a kind of cultivation and enlightenment of the students' mind. By participating in the ceremony, students have a deeper understanding and thinking about learning, growth and future paths, which inspires them to continuously pursue progress and development.
