The history of the master ceremony:

China has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, and is known as the "state of etiquette". It pays attention to respecting teachers and paying attention to etiquette.

As the saying goes, "My parents gave birth to me and taught me to be a teacher", and the ceremony of learning from the teacher is the embodiment of respecting the teacher and attaching importance to the road, and it is also the witness of the attachment between the teacher and the apprentice. The formation of China's custom of worshipping teachers is mainly influenced by the norms of Confucianism, which can be traced back to Confucius' practice of accepting disciples and evolved from it.

After the Han dynasty, the state established schools, and the disciples of doctoral students may still follow this law, or be appointed by the state, so there will be no other ceremonies to worship teachers. In short, learning from teachers has not entered the formal etiquette system of the country, that is to say, if there is, it is a private ceremony.

The Tong Dian in the Tang Dynasty began to mention the ceremony of learning from teachers. The Book of Rites in June and July emphasized that "the son of heaven worships and protects Fu" and said that the son of heaven should also learn from the teacher, which shows that the Tang people have attached great importance to this, and the formal ceremony of learning from the teacher was established at this time.
