The history of bar mitzvah

Since ancient times, the Han nationality has had adult ceremonies, which are called "crown ceremony" for boys and "gift" for girls. Chinese culture is a etiquette culture, and the ceremony of crown and tie is the starting point of Chinese etiquette.

The purpose of holding this ceremony for young men and women who have entered adulthood is to remind them that from now on, they will change from irresponsible "obedient" in their families to adults who formally step into society. Only by assuming the responsibility of adults and practicing beautiful virtues can we become qualified social roles.

Through this traditional ceremony, you can face up to your responsibilities, complete the role change and declare that you have grown up. The rite of passage of the Han nationality lasted for thousands of years. After the invasion of Manchu, the rulers of Manchu ended the rite of passage that lasted for thousands of years, so that future generations could only enter adulthood unconsciously and gradually recover.
