In the early part of this century,

U.S.A

In a small town in the countryside, the owner of a shop was very enlightened, inspired by an accident, and opened up a new generation of fashion for it.

The story goes like this: at that time, the store was about to open, and shopkeepers could not resist the temptation to rush into the store before they could stop the news.

When the punctual people are not treated fairly, they find a cloth belt tied to the doorframe.

Who had expected this temporary measure to stir up curiosity among people outside the shop door, prompting them to want to enter the shop earlier and to see the commodities they will sell.

Fortunately, just as the curiosity of the people outside the shop rose to the extreme, when it seemed impatient, the owner's little daughter led a little puppy out of the shop, and the cute little puppy, who had no knowledge of the world, dropped the cloth wrapped on the shop door as if nothing had happened.

People outside the shop mistaken the truth that it was the "new trick" that Zhang Zhixi opened in order to rush into the market.

To let shopkeepers turn their wrath for joy, it is hard to imagine that the business of his small shop on the opening day.

Some superstitious people have traced back to the source and made some "reflection" on it. At last, he decided that his good luck was brought by the cloth that was dropped to the ground by his little puppy's puppy.

As a result, after several of his chain stores opened in succession, he would make mistakes in order to be processed.

Over time, his little daughter and puppy unwittingly "inventions", through his and posterity "refining and sublimation" gradually become a whole set of rites.

It first came to the United States and then spread around the world.

In the process of spreading, it has also been given a very loud name -- ribbon cutting.

Ribbon cutting, from an accidental "accident" into an important activity procedure, and then evolved into a grand and warm ceremony, it itself is constantly developing new things, developing and changing.

For example, the ribbon cutter first used a dog to act as a puppy, so that the puppy could deliberately touch the tapes tied on the shop door, and then the child was taken up to let him break the silk thread tied to the door alone.

Later, the ribbon cutter turned into a young girl.

Her standard action is to go forward and run down to the big red satin belt tied to the door in public. Finally, the ribbon cutting has been set up to invite the social elite and local officials to cut the big red satin belt held by the etiquette lady in the hands of scissors.

According to historical records, the first appearance of ribbon cutting was in 1912, in the town of Hua Di MI, Sanantonio.

And the shopkeeper who invented the ribbon cutting ceremony was Wells.

Today, there are not many people who know all about this, but there are certainly not many people who know the ribbon cutting ceremony.
