开笔，是我国在民间流传了几百年的一项民俗礼仪，也是中国传统文化中对少儿的一种启蒙教育的仪式，更是一项心灵上的洗礼和智慧上的启迪。孩子们通过启蒙老师讲授人生最基本最简单的道理、读书、写字、参拜孔子等系列形式；在翰墨飘香，古韵悠扬的氛围中接受中华传统文化的熏陶和启蒙教育。

2019年5月10日卡尔加里幼儿园全体大班级的孩子在老师的带领下来到具有丰富岭南特色和文化底蕴的西樵国艺影视城进行人生中的第一次开笔礼，依照传统习俗进行的仪式向孩子们展示中华文化的悠久传承。

正衣冠，明事理 ---“衣冠”不仅意味着遮羞，更重要的是反应人的精神面貌。

瞻先人，感育恩 ——孩子们大步跨过门槛，向孔子先生参拜

 朗读经典 ——老师为孩子上了一节启蒙课

郑重开笔--也是学习做人的开端。

破蒙点智——又称开天眼，意思是眼明心明，好读书，读好书

击鼓明智--- 击鼓的声音越响，声音传得越远，志向就越大，目标就越明确。

    通过“开笔礼”这一庄重的仪式，让孩子把上学求知作为一种人生的使命，培养学习兴趣，从而勤学苦习，遵师孝亲，崇德立志，仁爱处事的中华传统文化精粹。

The First Writing Ceremony is a traditional Chinese custom, which enlightens children both in heart and spirit. The children learn basic principles through reading, writing and studying the works of Confucius.

The Big Class level children who attend Calgary Kindergarten had their First Writing Ceremony at the Xi Qiao Chinese Culture and Cinema Studio on May 10^th, 2019. What an awesome, cultural experience!

In Chinese there is a saying, “straighten up the clothing to understand the principles”. The clothes not only cover a person’s naked form, but also represent a person’s mental outlook.。

There is also the saying, “worshiping ancestors, being thankful for education”. The children eagerly stepped over the door frame and placed flowers at Confucius’s feet.

The initial reading of the “San Zi Jing” by the teacher.  At first, the teacher reads alone, after which he is accompanied by the children in reading the text aloud.

A red dot is painted on the forehead during this ceremony giving the blessing of a good reading habit and the ability to understand with the heart what one sees with the eyes.

The writing of the Chinese character “人” or “person”.  This is the first character a child will write when they begin their education.  This is not only teaching them how to write, but also representative of teaching children how to be a human being.

When playing the drum, louder sounds travel faster.  This can be understood to mean “the bigger the dream, the clearer the goal”.

The ‘First Writing’ Ceremony is important not only for its cultural meaning, but in helping to develop more responsible study habits, encouraging a love of learning.  We hope that all children will be able to study hard, respect teachers and parents, set great goals, as well as handle any situation with love and a good set of morals.
