译：Minister Li Ling first extended a warm welcome to all parents participating in this activity and warmly congratulated the new freshmen. Then, Minister Li pointed out that literature carries Tao and culture humanizes people. Chongqing Fuling foreign language school takes "cultivating Chinese soul and outstanding people with international vision" as its school philosophy, and the school motto of "building morality, cultivating people and learning through China and the west" as its cultural essence. Its connotation is: our school takes building morality and cultivating people as its own responsibility. Cultivating the pillars of the country will first cultivate students to have the root of Chinese soul, so as to cultivate students to have a broad mind of looking up to the world, and make them become great, elegant and outstanding people. At the same time, I put forward three requirements for you: first, I hope the first grade students understand that enrollment is a major event in life, the starting point for learning and becoming talents, and the driving force for diligence and positive progress. 2、 Inspired by the thought of sages and sages and infiltrated by Confucian culture, students are expected to learn to be close to sages, teachers, friends, campus and the motherland, "love people, love benevolence, be happy to learn and practice". 3、 From the first day of admission, students should know books, learn etiquette, learn gratitude, correct behavior, unity of knowledge and practice, and be an outstanding person with Chinese soul and international vision.

Chapter 1: Drumming and Bright Candles

新生入学，六岁破蒙。知书学礼，仁爱聪明。击鼓明烛，一破蒙昧，是非分明。二破自私，友爱同学。点亮蜡烛，点燃希望。今已入学，收心养性，从小立德，大气可成！

译：Freshmen enrolled at the age of six. Know the book and learn etiquette, benevolent and smart. Drumming and bright candles break the ignorance and distinguish right from wrong. The second break is selfish and friendly to classmates. Light up candles, light up hope. I am now enrolled in school, and I have adopted my heart to nurture my character.

第二篇章  自正衣冠

Chapter 2: Dress Yourself

古人云：“大抵为人，先要身体端整。自冠巾，衣服，鞋袜，皆须收拾爱护，常令洁净整齐。”“衣冠”不仅仅意味着遮羞，更重要的是反映出人的精神面貌。这正是——童蒙之学，始于衣冠；先正衣冠，后明事理。

译：The ancients said: to be a man, one must firstly be well-dressed . Tights clothes, shoes and socks must be kept clean and tidy. “dress”not only for covering-up, but also the reflection of the spirit. This is exactly what a child starts to learn, then to get the knowledge.

第三篇章  朱砂启智

Chapter 3: Cinnabar Enlightenment

“朱砂启智”就是由师长用朱砂为刚入学的孩子在额头正中点上红痣，“痣”通“智”，意味开启智慧，这又称之为“开天眼”或“点聪明”寓意学子从此眼明心明，好读书。小学部全体班主任老师们为一年级小朋友们点朱砂，意味着为孩子们开启了智慧之门。

译："Cinnabar Enlightenment" means that the teacher uses cinnabar to place a red mole on the middle of the forehead for a child who has just entered school. "Mole" means "wisdom", which means opening up wisdom, which is also called "opening the sky" or "pointing smart". From then on, the students have a clear mind and a good read. All the head teachers in the elementary school order cinnabar for the first grade children, which means that the children have opened the door of wisdom.

开笔礼上，学子要在师长的教导下学写第一个汉字“人”字。寓意学子们在人生的启蒙阶段学会堂堂正正的做人，明道理。何宇璐老师教孩子们学写“人”字，强调写毛笔字的坐姿，要求做到八个字：头正、身直、臂开、足安。新生在老师们的带领下，认认真真一笔一划写出了简单而意义深远的“人”字，孩子们骄傲地扬起了自己的“人”字作品。

译：At the first writing ceremony, students should learn to write the first Chinese character "人" under the guidance of the teacher. It means that students learn to behave in an upright manner during the enlightenment stage of life. Teacher He Yulu taught the children how to write the character "person", emphasizing the sitting posture of writing brush writing, and required eight characters: head upright, body straight, arms open, and feet safe. Under the leadership of the teachers, the freshmen carefully wrote the simple and far-reaching "person" one stroke at a time, and the children proudly raised their own works of "person"

译：In ancient times, scholars had to go to the academy to get fame and fame. When they entered the palace, they often used drums to express their desire to be motivated in reading and fame. First beat the drums, respect the teacher; second beat the drums, love learning; third beat the drums, win glory for the school.
