The ceremony of binding is a kind of etiquette when students and teachers met for the first time in ancient China, that is, the ceremony of learning from teachers. In ancient times, when students went to school, they gave their teachers six kinds of gifts: dried meat, celery, dried longan, lotus seeds, red dates and red beans. Dried meat means thanks, celery means diligence, longan means enlightenment, lotus seed means painstaking teaching, red dates mean junior high school and red beans mean remarkable achievements.
The ceremony of binding was carried out as early as Confucius' time. In the Tang Dynasty, the school still adopted the ceremony of binding, which was clearly stipulated by the state, but the weight of gifts varied with the nature of the school. When accepting this gift, teachers must also observe considerable etiquette.
