Crown ceremony is also called adult ceremony or adult ceremony. What was the rite of passage for ancient men?

Crown ceremony, a kind of ancient gift, is an adult ceremony for young people over 20 years old in ancient times. After the coronation ceremony, it means that they are adults in the clan and can get married and have children and participate in various activities.

The rite of passage is recognized only when tribal elders perform certain rituals for young people according to tradition. But in ancient times, it was a hierarchical society, and different classes wore different clothes when they held bar mitzvahs. According to the records in the Book of Rites, such as Tongdian and Ji Li in Ming Dynasty, different systems of coronation and service were established from the emperor to the common people.

Different dresses and ceremonies are different, but the ceremonies are different, but the coronation ceremonies of emperors and adult men of non-commissioned officers will be more than ordinary people. For example, the number of crowns is different, and everything else is similar. First of all, the ceremony was held in the "home temple", which is now the ancestral hall. Facilities need to be built in the east of the main hall, which was called the "East Room" in ancient times. Because the sun rises in the east, the original intention is that after the bar mitzvah, they should bear the responsibility alone and be aboveboard. In ancient times, there was a so-called "order" for crown ceremony. People with crowns, also called deacons, line up in turn. When the guests are the crown winner "Sanjia", they need to walk down different "orders" in turn, and the people holding the crown stand on the tray in turn.

Of course, in ancient times, every step was a detail, and its procedures were cumbersome. In modern times, holding an adult gift is a symbol. Moreover, the ancient crown ceremony was different in every dynasty, especially in the Zhou Dynasty, where there were more ceremonial steps. But the crown ceremony is also an ancient culture, and we should take its essence, discard its dross and pass it on.
