How big is the weak crown?

Weak crown is twenty years old. The ancients said that a weak crown refers to a person who is twenty years old. When the ancient people were twenty years old, there was a coronation ceremony. Here, the coronation ceremony is to tie up your hair and put on your hat. After the age of weak crown, men will formally become adults, and adult men can have their own words.

In ancient times, men were regarded as adults at the age of 20, and women at the age of 15 were regarded as adults. The theory of weak crown was only aimed at ancient men.

In the Book of Rites, it is recorded that "twenty is weak and crown". When an ancient man is twenty years old, his family will hold a coronation ceremony for him to show that he has reached adulthood. The gift of weak crown comes from "Twenty weak, crown" in the Book of Rites Qu Lishang.

In ancient times, both men and women had long hair. When a man reaches the age of 20, that is, the age of weak crown, he will hold a coronation ceremony in the ancestral hall, tie his hair in a bun, which is called "knotting", and then put on his hat. This is called the coronation ceremony.

First of all, we should choose an auspicious day, choose the guests to be crowned, and prepare the offerings to worship heaven and ancestors. Then, my father and brother will lead us into the ancestral temple to worship heaven and ancestors.

In ancient times, because numbers did not appear, people used some specific words to express people's different age stages. According to the Book of Rites Quli, twenty is weak, thirty is standing, and forty is confused. Know the destiny at fifty, spend at sixty, know the destiny at fifty, spend at sixty, and spend at seventy, which is rare since ancient times.
