What positive significance does the ancient rite of passage have for people?

The coronation ceremony is a traditional adult ceremony of the Han nationality in China and an important cultural heritage of the Han nationality. Historically, it has played a very important role in encouraging and motivating the growth of individual members. In fact, its influence on the course of our life far exceeds the so-called "adult ceremony" popular today. China's ancestors attached great importance to the coronation ceremony. It is no accident that the so-called "coronation ceremony begins" is listed as the first ceremony in Yili.

Mr. Peng Lin, a famous scholar and professor of Tsinghua University History Department, pointed out that the ancestors held this ceremony for young men and women who entered adulthood to remind the people who performed the ceremony: from then on, they will change from irresponsible "obedient children" in the family to adults who formally entered the society. Only by practicing the virtues of filial piety, filial piety, loyalty and obedience can we become qualified sons (daughters) and qualified younger brothers. Only in this way can we be called qualified members of society. Therefore, the coronation ceremony is "to ask people's etiquette with the gift of adults."

With the development of today's China society, many traditions that can bear the national humanistic character and spiritual tolerance have been lost for various reasons. Yili is one of them. "Rite" is the core element of China traditional culture, a civilized way of aesthetic education and a unique humanistic tradition of our nation. Rites and music culture emphasizes order and harmony. The return of this national cultural tradition will undoubtedly bring our huge nation the strength to gain a foothold and bring an elegant and noble atmosphere to today's popular culture.

Naturally, we don't need to completely copy the "ceremony" pursued by the ancients. And according to the connotation of "courtesy", it is "propriety" rather than respect. As the inheritors of civilization, we need to inject new spirit of the times into the traditional coronation ceremony on the basis of respecting the tradition of civilization and absorbing the reasonable core of existing civilization. We are studying, innovating and practicing the new crown ceremony now, just to inherit this precious historical and cultural heritage, and let the traditional national etiquette play its due role in inspiring the national spirit, carrying forward the national civilization and encouraging the growth of young people. On the basis of inheriting the traditional positive inspirational values such as responsibility, benevolence and filial piety, we actively seek to stimulate the spiritual qualities of patriotism, progress, rationality and enterprising that teenagers should have through appropriate means.
