Before the crowning, the crown is first combed by the crowner, and then the hair is wrapped with silk to make all preparations. In order to show cleanliness, the guests must first go to the bottom of the west steps to wash their hands, then go up to the hall and sit down in front of the crowner's seat, and personally straighten the silk wrapped on the crown's head, then get up, walk down one step from the west steps, take the cloth crown from the hands of Youji, walk to the seat of the general, first straighten his countenance, and then give a congratulatory speech: The month and the time are auspicious, now begin to crown you; Abandon your childish heart and nurture your adult virtues; May you live a long and auspicious life and increase your blessings. After the greeting, Zhengbin personally put on a cloth crown for him. Then the assistant will tie the crown for the crowner. The crown bearer enters the room, takes off his clothes, and changes into the Xuanduan costume that matches the cloth crown and walks out of the room, facing south, to show the guests.

The ceremonies of the second and third plus ceremonies are basically the same as those of the cloth crown, except that for the second crowning, the main guest needs to walk down 2 steps from the west step, and the third crown has to go down 3 steps, because the person holding the leather crown and the knight crown stand in different positions. In addition, the congratulatory speech for each crown will change slightly, but the meaning is the same, basically to encourage the champion to abandon the young and playful and lazy heart, and establish the ambition to enter the moral study. This is the heartfelt wish of the seniors to the champion, and it is an important part of adult education. After the congratulatory speech, the champion must answer. After each crown, the winner enters the room to change into the appropriate costume and then walks out of the room to present it to the guests.

It is not difficult to find that one of the important contents of the crown ceremony is to educate the body, color, speech, and eloquence, which has a deep meaning. In the Book of Rites, it is said: Where should etiquette begin? It should be from the proper manners, dignified attitude, and deferential speech, and then the etiquette can be considered complete; In this way, the monarch and the minister are in their respective positions, the father and the son are close to each other, and the elders and the young are harmonious; Monarchs and ministers are in their respective positions, fathers and sons are close to each other, and the elders and children are in harmony, and then etiquette is established.

The reason why people become human beings is because they understand etiquette, and etiquette is based on good looks, solemn expressions, and deferential speech. To hold a coming-of-age ceremony, we must first start with the education of the body, color, and rhetoric, so that the praise and the guest will take the trouble to comb their hair, straighten the silk scarf, and let him show his appearance. In "Etiquette", it is said that the crown ceremony is the beginning of the rite of passage. Liu Xiang also said that the significance of the crown ceremony lies in cultivating the mind and virtue inside, and cultivating the rites and texts outside, which is not only to cultivate virtue, but also to be upright. Confucius said: A gentleman is neatly dressed and does not squint, so that people will be in awe when they see it, isn't this also majestic but not fierce?

After the three crowning ceremonies are completed, the ceremony of the crowning person is held (醴), which means sweet wine. The seat of the crown is on the west side of the door of the hall, and the guests of honor offer wine to the crown and give a congratulatory speech: the luscious wine is mellow, the best dishes are fragrant, and the emperor bows down to the wine vessel, and offers the dishes and wine to lay your blessings; Inherit the blessings of heaven, and never forget the years of longevity. The crown bearer drinks according to the prescribed etiquette, then gets up and leaves the table, and thanks the guest for the successful completion of the crown ceremony, and the guest returns the salute.

The ancients had surnames, names, and words, such as Zhuge Liang, the compound surname Zhuge Liang, the name Liang, and the word Kongming. According to the Book of Rites, in ancient times, when a boy was born for 3 months, he was carried by his mother to his father, who would take the child's right hand and gently scratch his chin with his index finger to name him. After 20 years, when the child grows up, he will be given another table for him at the crown ceremony.

The name is taken in addition to the name to show respect for the name given by the father. In ancient social interactions, only elders could call their juniors, or the venerable to the inferior, by their first names. Between peers and juniors to elders, they should use words to show respect, otherwise it is rude. In other words, "words" are used in adult communication, so the "Book of Rites" says: The person who crowns the crown should be called the character but not the name, because he is already an adult.

There is a strict ritual for the guest to choose the word for the crown, walk down the hall from the west steps, and stand in the place facing the west wing, facing east. The master walked down the hall from the east staircase and stood facing the east wing, facing east. The crown man stands on the east side under the west steps, facing south. The guest took the word for the crown and gave a congratulatory speech: the etiquette has been completed, and on the auspicious day of the next good month, announce your word; Your words are incomparably beautiful, and they belong to a handsome man; Fit is blessed, may you keep it forever; Your cousin's name is Bo Moufu.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the first word indicates the ranking, which is represented by Bo, Zhong, Shu, and Ji, depending on the situation; The word "fu" at the end, or the word "father", is an honorific title for men; The characters in the middle are generally related to the meaning of the name, for example, Kongqiu, the word Zhong Ni, Zhong is the ranking, Ni and Qiu are opposite, Qiu is the hill, and Ni is the Ni Mountain, which is the place where Confucius was born. The word at the end can be omitted, so the word of Confucius can usually be called Zhongni.

In today's era, there are few people who take words anymore, but with the revival of coming-of-age ceremonies, will taking words be the most popular fashion behavior in today's era?

After the crowning ceremony, the crowned person needs to meet the relevant elder. The crown first walked down the west steps, turned east, walked out of the east wall of the courtyard, facing north, to meet his mother who was waiting here and offered dried meat as a tribute. After the mother bowed and was ready to leave, the crown was bowed and the mother bowed again. In this process, the crown of the son worships the mother only once, but the mother worships twice, which is the worship method of women to adult men in ancient times, called chivalry (jiā).

The crown man went to visit his relatives standing under the hall, and the relatives bowed to the crown again, and the crown man replied. Then, the crown man walked out of the temple gate and entered the dormitory gate to meet his aunt and sister, and the ceremony was the same as that of his mother. The person who is crowned to meet his mother, brothers, etc., means that he will meet at home as a coming-of-age ceremony, so the "Book of Rites" says: After being crowned, he went to see his mother, and his mother replied; Go to your brother, and your brother will bow down to him; It's all because he's an adult and his family is courteous to him.
