Chapter 497 (2/2)

……

Generally, a man in the world will be crowned at the age of 20 to show his maturity.

The crowning ceremony is usually conducted in the ancestral temple, presided over by the father, and crowned by the designated VIP to the young people.

It is very particular and cautious to hold the ceremony of coronation.

The first thing to do is to choose the auspicious day, the guests to be crowned, and prepare the offerings for heaven, earth and ancestors. Then, the father and brother will lead them into the temple to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors.

During the coronation ceremony, the guests will be crowned three times in turn, that is, they will put on three hats in turn.

First of all, the Zibu crown made of black linen means that it has the qualification to participate in politics and can shoulder the social responsibility; then, the fur Bian made of white deer skin, that is, the military cap, means that it will perform military service to protect the country's territory; finally, the red and black Piguan, which is the common ritual cap, means that it can participate in the sacrificial ceremony from now on.

After the three crowns are completed, people must set up a banquet to invite guests (Zan is the assistant of guests, called ”Protocol”. After ”concierge”, the recipient goes to visit his mother, and then the word ”concierge” represents his dignity in the future society. The ancients believed that only the elders could call them by their ”name” when they were adults. Ordinary people or ordinary people could only call them by their ”word” because they wanted to use the ”word” so that they could be called by others. ）

next, I went to visit my brother, my admirer and my aunt in turn. After that, the crown recipient took off the hat and clothes he wore when he added the crown for the last time, put on a black hat and formal dress, and took gifts to pay a visit to the monarch, senior officials (officials in the township) and Mr. Xiang (retired officials in the township).

This is the general content of the ceremony for men to hold the crown, but Xie Zhifeng's situation is not the same as others.
