What is the ceremony

The ceremony of the opening of the pen, the rise of a modern rite of passage, children began to literacy and rituals of a form of initiation, and the ceremony is based on a number of traditional customary conceptualization and come. Schoolchildren will get up early on the first day of school to come to the school hall, by the initiation of the teacher to teach the most basic, the most simple truths of life, and teach reading, writing, and then worship the statue of Confucius, can be enrolled in school. This ceremony is commonly known as the "broken".

The opening ceremony, the enlightenment teacher is very attention. Able to calligraphy and painting, ancient language base is very thick, the overall atmosphere of the opening ceremony to harmonize, uniform wearing Chinese dress, showing respect for the traditional culture of ancient China. Organize this activity is to learn calligraphy "momentum", hope that through the use of cinnabar "open wisdom" this novel ceremony, attract them to learn brushstrokes, the traditional culture of calligraphy to carry forward.

Main features

1, the combination of ancient and modern, with the characteristics of the times in the ceremony to participate in the opening of the pen. Clothing, the Palace to take the "pen" related to the meaning of customized small doctor's clothing, rather than copying the ancient scholar's clothing worn, closer to real life.

Step 3 of the etiquette of the opening ceremony

The significance of the opening ceremony

The use of vermilion sand in the opening ceremony is an activity that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, but it is still questioned in many elementary schools, which don't carry out the ritual of the opening of the brush, while some schools are very much in favor of the ceremony, believing that it's a very good activity, which can plant a deep seed in the heart of the child, and even when they are very old, they will be very happy to see that they are able to learn from their children. Even when they are very old, they will never forget that they have participated in such a ceremonial event.

So how does this activity work?

So how does the ceremony begin? For the ceremony, you can wear our traditional Chinese clothing, which is hanbok (Chinese traditional dress). Teachers wear Zhu Zi deep clothes, female students wear 襦裙, male students wear straight train. It is also possible to combine the ancient and the modern by having the children wear customized Dr. Little costumes, which are more relevant to our modern day life as opposed to wearing hanboks. Teachers who teach children to start reading and writing must not copy from a book, but must make the text easy to understand, so that the child really understands what the teacher is teaching. The opening ceremony to the end of the time, you can also let the child watch the puppet show, to experience the depth of Chinese culture.

So what is the meaning of the ceremony? First of all, you don't have to wear a Chinese dress, and you can condense the essence of the ancient and the modern, which can be closer to our lives, so that the children can feel more personally. Moreover, the teacher began the enlightenment is very easy to let the children really involved, because the explanation, not according to the book read copy, but with the children's point of view, tell the children should respect the teacher, respect the teacher to teach their own things, and to treat their parents well. This is a great way for children to learn this from a young age. In addition, during the opening ceremony, the child can use the brush to write down a very meaningful word, that is, "human", so that the child knows that learning to be a human being is the most important topic in our life. Moreover, the character "人", which is written by the teacher with one stroke of the brush, will be very meaningful for the child to recall in the future. Finally, the ceremony is also a blessing from teachers, parents and parents, who hope that their children will be able to learn and be useful to the society after they start to read and write. Teachers hold the cinnabar in their hands, in the center of the child's forehead to point down a cinnabar seal, the child's blessing.

And some people think that in the modern era still organize such activities as the opening of the brush ceremony, it is a little retrogressive, the times have not kept pace. However, it is important to understand that many traditional things are very meaningful, modern, not only to learn from the good experience of the West, the ancient tradition of culture, now also has a deep educational significance. So it would be a bit unreasonable to boycott the pen opening ceremony because it is a traditional activity. Today's opening ceremony is not a copy of the previous ancient ceremony, we can open the ancient ceremony, not suitable for modern to improve, modern can still apply to be inherited, rather than a negation of the opening ceremony.

It can be said that many places, children will participate in the ceremony, so many places, so many schools, let the children participate in the ceremony of the opening of the pen ceremony such a ceremony, on behalf of a lot of educators on the traditional culture is adhering to the inheritance of the attitude, which also shows that the opening of the pen ceremony has a certain significance, and its value is also other activities can not be replaced. If there are still some people who are strongly opposed to the idea that it must be feasible to organize some kind of activity, it must be exactly the same as in the ancient times, then this kind of people's thinking is also extremely pedantic and old-fashioned.

It is a great pity that I was not able to participate in such a meaningful event as the opening of the brush ceremony at the time of my initiation. I think that the ceremony is a particularly meaningful activity, it can let the children remember, may grow up to be an adult, what they have done when they were young, participate in what kind of activities have no impression, but the children will remember, and the only one who can make people remember the ceremony in the heart of the activity. Although children are very young and do not have enough cognitive ability to recognize many things, it is also because of their young age that it is extremely important for them to participate in such activities. It's not just about the meaning that the ceremony brings to a child.

Therefore, I personally agree with the opening of the pen ceremony, which is a very meaningful activity. I think it is a very meaningful initiative to integrate the essence of traditional culture and modern education, and this practice is not an innovation. Although the times are changing, but the essence of the ancients inherited we can not easily trample and discarded.
