How old were the adults in ancient times?

In ancient China, a man's adult ceremony at the age of 20 was called "coronation ceremony".

In ancient times, when a woman reached the age of 15, she tied her hair and wore it, because 15 was called a woman. It also means that you have reached marriageable age, such as "the year is over".

Fu: A hair clasp for tying hair. Ancient women were engaged at the age of fifteen, and they tied their hair and wore hairpins that year; When I was not engaged, I tied my hair and wore a hair clasp at the age of twenty.

Extended information of preparation activities before bar mitzvah:

1. Date: The date is fixed. Set it on an adult's birthday (Gregorian calendar or lunar calendar) or a day of great significance to it. However, it is not appropriate to invite people to participate in the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion. The theme of the Qingming Festival doesn't match, so the temple can't have both.

2. Invited guests and abstaining guests: that is, the participants are determined and invited by invitation cards or various communication methods. For distinguished guests, parents should invite them home three days in advance (the latest day).
