1. Origin and meaning of the ribbon-cutting ceremony

The origin of ribbon-cutting can be traced back to a small town in the United States in the early twentieth century. Here, there is a store that is about to open, but the owner is afraid that he will not be able to prepare the goods for the first day of opening, so he took a red cloth to block his shop. On an opening day, his daughter took the dog out again causing the red ribbon to fall. People thought this was a sign that the store had started selling so it was very crowded.
