In ancient times, when a man reached the age of 20, he had to add a crown to the ancestral hall. The "coronation ceremony" has been added for three times, which means that the youth who perform the coronation ceremony have the right to govern the people, serve the country and participate in sacrifices. Usually the coronation ceremony is presided over by the father, and distinguished guests are invited to crown the young people who perform the coronation ceremony. Finally, the congratulatory message was read and a speech was delivered, and the whole coronation ceremony was completed.

Hold a weak crown ceremony
It is very particular and cautious to hold the coronation ceremony. According to the book Li Yili, when a nobleman reaches the age of 20, his father or brother will preside over the coronation ceremony in the ancestral hall. First of all, we should choose an auspicious day, choose the guests to be crowned, and prepare the offerings to worship heaven and ancestors. Then, my father and brother will lead us into the ancestral temple to worship heaven and ancestors.
During the coronation ceremony, the guests were crowned three times in turn, that is, wearing three hats in turn, first crowned with black linen, indicating that they are qualified to participate in politics and assume social responsibilities from now on; Then add a leather coat made of white deerskin, that is, a military cap, to show that you will perform military service and defend the national territory from now on; Finally, the plain crown with black in the red is an ancient top hat, which means that you can participate in sacrificial ceremonies from now on.
