In ancient times, both men and women attached great importance to adult ceremony, but in modern times, why not?

The rite of passage in ancient times refers to the ceremony held by boys and girls as adults. In ancient China, the adult ceremony of men was called coronation ceremony, that is, when a man reached the age of 20, he could be crowned. After the coronation, it means that the man has reached adulthood and has been recognized by the group and can get married. A woman's bar mitzvah is a gift, also known as a head gift. It's a gift for a woman after she turns 15, before she gets engaged and after she gets married, and then she can get married.

Coronation ceremony is a very important ceremony in ancient China, so there is a saying that "Coronation ceremony begins with ceremony", and coronation ceremony is the beginning of Chinese etiquette. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, adult ceremony has been an important etiquette in China, which lasted for thousands of years. This is not only to celebrate the growth of children, but also to make them realize the change of their status and role and announce that they have grown up.

However, after being complacent, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty ordered in a document that China's adult ceremony, which lasted for thousands of years, was ended. Influenced by the Han and Tang Dynasties in China, Japanese and Koreans also held adult ceremonies, which have been passed down to this day. Mexico, Peru, Canada and other countries also have adult ceremonies.

China's rite of passage was neglected in modern times for three reasons. The first reason is the lack of adult ceremony culture in China, which has lasted for thousands of years. The second is the anti-feudal culture during the Cultural Revolution. Third, in today's rapid development, people seldom have time to hold such a grand ceremony and hold it seriously, so both men and women in ancient times attached great importance to the adult ceremony, while modern times paid less attention to it.
