Jiebin means visiting relatives and friends, telling them when you will be crowned as an adult, and inviting them to attend your coronation ceremony. Once again, in the form of divination, choose a praise from the respected people in the family. Praise is the host and witness of this ceremony. Taking a bath, before being crowned, must take a bath, which has been the habit of China people for thousands of years. Then the ceremony officially began.
