The Code of Daily Behavior for Primary School Students (Revised) promulgated by the Ministry of Education was implemented on September 1 2004. Article 1 "Respect the national flag and emblem, sing the national anthem, stand up when raising and lowering the national flag, take off your hat and salute the young pioneers" is enough to show that students must take off their hats when raising and lowering the national flag.

The national flag and the national anthem are symbols of a country and a nation. As a qualified citizen of China, we must safeguard national honor, respect the national flag and emblem and sing the national anthem.

The specific methods are as follows: seriously and consciously participate in the flag-raising ceremony of the school, and the clothes and instruments should be neat. When raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, you should stand up, take off your hat and stand at attention. Young pioneers wearing red scarves should have a team ceremony. Singing the national anthem should be serious, energetic, loud, accurate and smooth.

Extended data:

The ceremony of taking off the hat originated in the era of cold weapons. At that time, helmets were worn in combat, mostly iron and heavy.

When a soldier arrives at a safe place, he first takes off his helmet to lighten the heavy burden. Take off your hat like this to show no hostility. For example, when you go to a friend's house, you will also take off your hat to show your friendliness. This habit has been handed down, which is today's hat-taking ceremony.

Nowadays, hats are rarely taken off in America, on the one hand, because social etiquette is not so strict, and on the other hand, because people don't wear hats very much. However, in the 1950s, it was common for men to take off their hats to pay tribute to women. Men must take off their hats indoors or in the elevator. (1949, the earliest known elevator etiquette code says: countless women complain that men always bump their heads when saluting in the crowd, so men should not take off their hats. )

But in the18th century, people thought it was impolite to wear hats indoors. A man should take off his hat and then put it on when greeting a woman. The reason for doing this is too simple. First of all, in most history, hats are a symbol of class and a tangible symbol of social status. The tradition of wearing hats can be traced back to ancient Rome At that time, headdress was a symbol of social or political superiority. Secondly, if you have a hat in your hand, it will be inconvenient to draw your sword.
