加拿达外国语学校2016年祭孔典礼

2016 Confucius Memorial Ceremony at CLS-A

2016年9月28日，是我国伟大的思想家、教育家、儒家学派创始人孔子诞辰2567周年的日子。9月26日，加拿达外国语学校举行了一年一度的祭孔典礼，意在崇德尚礼，弘扬尊师重道之精神，培养古雅庄重的礼仪。全校师生以及部分家长代表身着汉服盛装，齐聚校园，共祭先师。

On September 26th, in order to develop and strengthen the teacher/student bond and to cultivate students’ sense of etiquette, CLS-A held a grand ceremony to honor Confucius. All the teachers, students and parents attended the ceremony wearing clothes from Han Dynasty.

八点二十分，随着三声鼓响，全体肃立，端身正衣，祭孔典礼正式开始。

随着肃穆的鼓点，郑丽华校长以及两位教师代表表情庄严凝重地移步上馔，在庄重的礼乐声中，向大成至圣先师孔子行三拜礼并敬献鲜花，祝愿学生们学习顺利，花开富贵。随后，家长代表及学生代表也分别行三拜礼，并敬献苹果、金桔，以祝愿学生学有所成、学有所用，修齐治平，一生平安。

As the clock marked 8:20, the ceremony began with three beats of the drum. Our principal Sophie and two teachers came to the stage to offer some flowers to Confucius and wished all of our students a lot of success in their studies. Afterwards, the parents and the students offered apples and oranges to Confucius and wished for the students’ safety.

敬献完鲜花果品之后，郑校长带领全体老师吟诵教师寄语，家长代表吟诵家长寄语，字字句句都寄托了教师与家长对孩子们的深切期望，殷殷寄语令人振聋发聩。最后全体学生齐诵誓词，朗朗誓言使人心潮澎湃。

Next, Sophie led all of the teachers and some parents to read their speeches. Lastly, students spoke out their pledges together.

礼之用，和为贵，先王之道，斯为美。祭孔典礼意在崇德尚礼，唤醒人们对传统文化的理解和尊重，树立尊师重教的观念。愿师道长存，礼驻校园。

This ceremony reminded us the value of Chinese traditional culture and etiquette. From this etiquette, we wish to build a harmonious campus and society.
