During the third Jiao ceremony, he gave a congratulatory speech and said: The wine is sweet and fragrant, the food utensils are fragrant, and the coming-of-age ceremony is completed for you, and the delicacies are prepared with rich livestock; Respect the celebration of Haotian and bear the blessings of boundlessness. Zhengbin gave a congratulatory speech at the time of the word and said: The etiquette is complete, on this auspicious day of the good month, announce your words; The words are very beautiful, and they are matched with Junshi; Take the word to be suitable, respectfully bear it forever, call Bo Moufu, Zhong Moufu, Uncle Moufu, Ji Moufu, only appropriate is a good name.

(When a man becomes an adult, it is inconvenient to call him by his first name, so he takes another alias related to the meaning of his own name, called Zi, to commend his virtue, so it is called Biaozi.) A certain fu is an honorific title for men in ancient times, Bo Zhong Shu Ji is the order of brothers, Bo is the eldest, Zhong is the second, Shu is the third, and Ji is the youngest. ）

When you become an adult, you wear kudzu shoes in the summer. When wearing a Xuanduan suit, it should be matched with black shoes, blue toe decoration, the lower edge and the cuff of the shoe, the brim is 1 inch wide, the white bottom is matched with white shoes, painted with large clam ash to whiten, the blue toe decoration, the lower edge and the cuff of the shoe, the bridging of the cuff is 1 inch wide; The knight's suit, with light red shoes, black toe decoration, hem and cuff trim, the cuff of the cuff is 1 inch wide. In winter, you can wear shoes made of leather, not shoes made of thin cloth.

Postscript: The significance of the crown ceremony is that the first crown is crowned with a cloth crown. In ancient times, a white cloth crown was worn, and when the sacrifice required fasting, the white cloth crown was dyed black. Regarding this kind of ornament with a crown under the crown, Confucius said: I have not heard of such a thing as a crown ornament with a crown and a tassel. After the coronation ceremony, the cloth crown can be discarded. The crowning ceremony of the son-in-law on the eastern steps is to show the meaning of the son's replacement for the father. Performing the Jiao salute on the guest seat shows that you are crowning a person with adult virtue. The crown added three times is more valuable than the previous one, and it is to teach the crown to establish great ambitions.

After the crowning, it is named with the word table to show respect for the name given by the parents. The appearance is the crown often worn by the Zhou Dynasty; Zhang Fu is the crown often worn by the Yin Dynasty. The crown added for the third time was "Ben" in the Zhou Dynasty, "冔" (xú) in the Yin Dynasty, and "Receiving" in the Xia Dynasty. For the second crowning of clothing, the three dynasties of Xia, Shang, and Zhou all used leather and white clothes and clothes. There is no doctor's coronation, but there is a doctor's wedding.

In ancient times, people could only be knighted at the age of 50, so how could there be a coronation ceremony for a doctor? The prince had another coronation ceremony, which was at the end of the Xia Dynasty. The son-in-law of the Son of Heaven only uses the rites, which means that there is no one in the world who is born noble. The princes are hereditary because the sons can imitate the virtues of their ancestors. The awarding of officials and titles must be based on the difference in virtue. It is now a matter of time for a soldier to be given an additional name after his death. In ancient times, a scholar could not be a knight for life, and he could not add a nickname after death.

After the first part of "Etiquette" is finished, do you have a general understanding of the process of coming-of-age ceremony? In the ancient era of clan society, there was a ritual of becoming a ding. Minors in the clan may not participate in production, hunting, or warfare, and the clan has the responsibility to nurture and protect them. However, when they reach the age of adulthood, the clan will test their physique and production skills, war skills, and determine whether they can qualify as full members of the clan.

With the development of society, the Chengding ceremony has disappeared in most areas, but Confucian scholars have seen its rational core and processed it into a crown ceremony as one of the important parts of life etiquette. "Shiguan Li" is a detailed record of the detailed rituals of the sons of ancient scholars when they held the crown ceremony, and it is also a source record of the crown ceremony.

We can continue to sort it out to make the process of the Shiguan ceremony clearer.

The Shiguan ceremony is divided into two major processes, the first is the pre-ceremony, and the second is the main ceremony. The pre-ceremony is to prepare for the official crowning with the procedures prescribed by the ceremony, and the main links are: (1) the day of the ceremony: to determine the date of the crown ceremony. (2) Binbin: Among the participating guests, one person is determined as the guest of honor. (3) Appointment period: Agree on the specific time when the crown ceremony begins. (4) Guests: Invite guests and all guests who praise the crown. (5) Baptism: The crowned person is bathed before the ceremony and specially groomed on the day.

The second is the formal ceremony, that is, the ceremonial procedure on the day of coronation, and the complete link is as follows:

(1) Furnishings: Early in the morning, ceremonial utensils, sacrifices and corresponding costumes are displayed. (2) Welcoming the praiser into the temple: The parents of the crowned person welcome the guests into the family temple. (3) Three crowns: Begin to add cloth crowns, which means that the crown has the ability to eat and clothing; The second time the leather crown is added, the leather crown is also known as the martial crown, which means that the champion has the basic martial arts; The third time to add the crown, the crown is also known as the literary crown, which means that the crown basically has the ability to know books and rites; The ceremony of the three crowns is intended to inspire the champion to aspire to cultivate virtue, from humility to respect, keep forging ahead, and keep improving.

(4) Bin Li (lǐ) crowner: Zhengbin gives wine to congratulate the crowner. (5) The crowned person sees his mother: The crowned person formally visits the mother who is determined by the ceremony, but it is not necessarily the biological mother. (6) The guest gives the table word: the guest gives the crowner a title for the usual name in addition to his own name, which is called the table word, which is different from the name taken by the parents. After the crowning, the table character replaces the real name, and only the parents can call him by his real name, and the etiquette is to revere the name chosen by the parents for the crowner.

(7) Meeting with the family: The crowned person formally meets all the family members of the elders and children as adults. (8) Seeing the elder: The crowned person formally visits the husband of the old patriarch or the monarch as an adult. (9) Libin: The guest who is invited to the banquet by the main family.
