According to the Zhou system, men perform the rituals at the age of twenty. However, in order to take charge of national affairs as soon as possible, the princes often perform the rituals in advance. Therefore, it is said that King Wen was crowned at the age of twelve, and King Cheng was crowned at the age of fifteen.

Before the Han Dynasty, the ceremony of the crown was extremely heavy.

King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to King Wu when he was young, but Duke Zhou was regent until his adulthood.

Ying Zheng ascended the throne of Qin at the age of thirteen, but he did not take power until he was twenty-two years old, "crowned with a sword".

"Biography of the Su Lin of the Later Han Dynasty" records that Zhou Fang was 16 years old and served as a minor official in the county. The Emperor Shizu visited Runan and summoned the officials to study the classics. He saw that he was "especially able to recite and read", and wanted to be appointed as the governor. However, Zhou Fang "was not given a title" and could not obey his orders.

From the emperor to the common people, the ceremony of the crown is "the gift of adults". Without the ceremony of the crown, it is "not to be governed by others."

...

When the Sui and Tang Dynasties entered the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Guan Li began to weaken significantly.

In his "Answer to Wei Zhongli's Book of Teachers and Taoism", Liu Zongyuan said, "The ritual of the crown has never been performed for hundreds of years."

It was also mentioned that there was a man named Sun Changyin at that time who "worked with his own efforts". He went to court the next day and hoped that all the ministers could teach him.

After arriving at the outer court, Sun recommended the scepter and said to the ministers: "I have finished the crown." All the ministers couldn't understand.

Jingzhao Yin Uncle Zheng was even more fun, but he pulled the scepter and said, "What do you have to do with me?" This caused the civil and military ministers to burst into laughter.

It can be seen that at that time, most people regarded the ceremony of the crown ritual as a remote person.

However, this ritual is not abandoned in the real family of poetry and rituals.

For example, Sima Guang was once heartbroken: "The deprecation of Guan Li has been abolished for a long time since modern times, human feelings have been particularly frivolous.

If you give birth to a child, you still drink milk and add a scarf. If you have an official, you may use a public uniform to make it. If you are over ten years old, you will still have a general horn.

How can he know the actions of the four? Therefore, he often grows up from childhood and is as stupid as one, because he does not know the way of becoming a human being."

The so-called "the four actions" are explained clearly in the "Book of Rites" that "be a son, a younger brother, a minister, and a young man."

The purpose of the ceremony is to "responsible the actions of the four people to others."

"The courtesy is not heavy?

Therefore, if you are filial, brother, loyal, and obedient, you can become a human being.

You can be a human being, and then you can cure people."

Therefore, Sima Guang believes that the ceremony of the crown is to allow people to officially start to perform the four qualities of filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and obedience. Abolishing the ceremony of the crown will make people frivolous, leading to people not knowing responsibility during their growth, and causing social problems.

Zhu Xi was incredible about the demise of this ceremony: "It's a private matter in his house. How difficult is it to do? After closing the door and wearing a scarf and a crown with his children?"

Today's Confucianism has not yet completely cluttered and rigid, so the rituals of various aristocratic families have been retained in general and simplified and adapted.

Etiquette cannot be abolished, but it can be easy.

However, in terms of age, there were differences and debates among the various families.

"The Crown of the Master of Etiquette" Jia Gongyan's Memorial: "The princes are twelve and crowned. If the emperor is the emperor, he will also be the same as the princes...

Sima Guang examined the ancient system in his "Shuyi", saying that men can perform the ceremony as long as their parents have no mourning for the pre-birth of their parents.

Cheng Yize expressed his objection, believing that the starting point should be postponed: "There is no time for twelve years to be blamed."

Zhu Xi held another point of view. Even if he was old, he would not be able to do without any basic knowledge reserves: "If a gentleman who is kind and kind to the ancients waits for his son to be over fifteen years old, he can understand the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects of Confucius" and roughly knows the principles of etiquette and morality, and then praises it, then he will be beautiful."

No matter how you argue, in fact, everyone is still clear about the essence of the matter, and they will blame it.

If you can't do this, it's a false ceremony.

No matter your age, if you add a crown, you will be an adult and you must use the adult's behavioral norms.

...

When you arrive at Suyou, things will come up with a reversal. You have fully met the requirements of exercising the etiquette of adulthood, so you can get a crown!

This is the suggestion put forward by Long Changqi Long Daru. He has been tolerant for a year, but he is tolerant, but who is unbearable!

It is precisely because this kid has not won the crown, so how many loopholes have he taken advantage of?

Otherwise, you can ask Tang Yantong to go to the river to catch a boat?! Shilin publicly agreed that he can't be scolded to death!

Since the age of five, this child has known the principles of etiquette and righteousness. He can do the four things and rely on each other for the Eight Dukes, be filial; he has collected children from Kelongli to be fraternal; he has lobby for Dali to capture Nong Zhigao and be loyal; he has a good relationship with Jiang Qing, and he has persuaded them to recruit exiles and help the yamen to solve problems, which is obedient.

If we judge based on the standard of managing people, the Erlin Department will not mention the rank of the second forest department, but only one place in Longli and one place in Land Temple, this child has already cured flowers!

But! He relies on his young age, he is a hammer and a hammer, and is naughty and does not study hard, and it is also inconvenient to punish him. This is a serious cheating behavior!

Therefore, this troublemaker is not an exception! He must be given a crown immediately and blamed him with the etiquette of adulthood so that he can be strictly controlled.

Everyone, all adults, agreed unanimously.

Mr. Long is different. He digs deep into the roots from a theoretical perspective and solves problems from a institutional perspective. Like!

Su You also rolled his eyes secretly. Longshan Chang, you are a great scholar. Don’t study scholars, Wu Chengen has brought up the curse for Sun Houzi!

...

In the Zhou Dynasty, the rituals of the Scholars were added with the black cloth crown.

The black cloth crown was made of ancient times. The crown ceremony first added a black cloth crown, indicating that the original origin is not forgotten; it also symbolizes the right to rule man.

Adding leather hats means that the general is involved in military affairs and has military power, so when adding leather hats, they are often paired with swords;

The three-gao Jue Ban symbolizes the right to sacrifice, which is the highest level of social status.

A higher-level nobleman should add another "Da Dai Li" saying: "The Gong Guan is four plus, three of them are the same, and then the Xuan Crown is added. The Emperor also adds four plus, and then the Yan Crown is added."

The Su family is not a Ni Gu school, so we can adapt to the first place to add scarves, hats, and heads with three.

However, the ceremony is necessary, and divination must be performed ten days in the early stage.

Before returning to Meishan, divination was completed in the Yu Bureau, and was personally led by Shi Wei's bearded master Yuan De.

Yuan Degong was called "Shubin", and he was the most honorable guest of the ceremony, and he was even higher than the official guest who presented the ceremony.

Su You looked respectful and admiring, but in his stomach he was suspicious that the bearded father-in-law must have the ability to control all the hexagrams with the old man's slow skills.

Otherwise, how could he be so coincidental, such a good thing?

On New Year's Eve, three days before the ceremony, Su You promised to pay homage to the ancestral hall, this time it was the Eighth Princess Ceremony.

The ancestral hall is filled with cigarettes lingering with dragon-brain fragrance. Su You's situation is that "the son of Zong is already alone and has won himself." Therefore, the orders of parents are not written on the chapters, but only: "I will crown the first one with a certain month and a certain day. I would like to report to Zong's grandparents with Balabara... before the spirit of Zong's grandparents."

After the blessing, it is the ceremony of the ritual of the guest, which is to find a ceremony executor, that is, the official guest.

Zhengbin is an important figure in the ceremony. Su You's Zhengbin is of course Old Man Long.

On the day when the congratulations were finished, Su You came to the school wearing a deep clothes.

The original procedure should be the first to meet the guests, such as daily rituals, tea drinking, etc., but Su You is the role of the book boy here, so Old Man Long sat with a smile and gave Su You a waiter.

When Su You cleaned up the monastery like a doghouse again, he respectfully presented the Sanbatai: "Captain, is it interesting?"

Old man Long smiled and said, "It's interesting. There's nothing more interesting than watching the child grow up."

Su You rolled his eyes: "Others are all 15 years old and have won the championship, why are I nine years old?"

Old Man Long smiled and said, "You can go to Chengdu. Since you can make your own decisions, of course you can win the championship."

Su You defended: "It's not that I want to go by myself, but my cousin took me there. When I went there, Mr. Zhang was caught taking the math exam and then being a child laborer. Do you think I'm willing to do it?"

Long Changqi smiled and said, "I've found so many things for me. Since you are so worried about state affairs, don't treat yourself as a child? Hurry up and perform the ceremony!"

Su You had no choice but to stand up and bow and salute: "Longli Su You will be crowned with the crown on your head. I hope you will teach you."

Long Changqi shook his head: "I am not sensitive, I am afraid I cannot offer my business to you. I dare to refuse."

Su You was stunned: "What?"

Long Changqi glared: "Whatever? How can one show sincerity!"

Shameless! You were forced to do it!

Su You had to salute again: "I wish you the final teaching."

Long Changqi continued to shake his head: "Your Chong has a life, I dare not follow."

Su You was speechless: "Old man, how many times will you make a fuss?"

Long Changqi said, "Okay, go cook for me, and then go back to Kelongli after cooking."

Su You asked, "Then are you agreeing or not?"

Long Changqi said, "Not yet, when you send someone to send a letter to the second day of the day, I will promise you again."

"I can't invite you anymore, right?" Su You rolled up her sleeves and let me cook obediently!

After cooking, Su You discovered something: "Where is Yuanzhen? I asked you to take care of each other, and you will make the monk's house look like a doghouse?"

Long Changqi didn't care: "Stop making trouble! Yuanzhen is still a child..."
Chapter completed!
