On the day of the crown ceremony, the Xiao family did not mobilize the public, and those who came were all relatives of the Xiao family, and some teachers who were related to Xiao Rui. The emperor and his wife were also present as father-in-law and mother-in-law. In addition, Li Jing and his wife also brought their families to witness. Xiangcheng, Li Shengnan's two fiancées and others, all the people who come must wear ceremonial clothes.

The process of the crown ceremony, according to the rite record, is that the father crowns his son, then the teacher gives the table words, and finally the guests are entertained.

There are two teachers who really kowtow to Xiao Rui, one is the divine doctor Sun Simiao, and the other is the great Confucian Li Gang who teaches the princes in the Hongwen Pavilion. Now Doctor Sun Shen has traveled all over the world to practice medicine and save people, and he can't find it in a hurry, so only the great Confucian Li Gang is present.

The other two witnesses were Wei Zheng and Qin Shubao, both of whom were literary and martial arts, and were the leaders of the officialdom of Xiao Rui, who was also a teacher and friend. The host of the crown ceremony is Wei Zheng.

In the ancestral hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu stood in the middle, bowed to the ancestral tablet, turned around and said loudly: "The dog in the family is eighteen years old. Choose an auspicious day, extend the guests, drum and blow the sheng, and become its crown ceremony. ”

took a cloth crown from the maid and put it on Xiao Rui with his own hands.

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Shi Jia: Ling Yue auspicious day, Shi Jia Yuan Fu, abandon the young character, Shun Er Chengde." Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

The message is to the effect: on this beautiful and auspicious day, I will add adult clothes to you; Please give up your youthful ambitions and become adults. Show that you have grown up and have all the responsibilities and rights that an adult should have, and you can manage people.

took off the cloth crown and took a leather pendant, and Xiao Yu put it on again. (A leather hat with jewels and gemstones between the gaps in the leather, made of deerskin, called Piben)

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Plus: Jiyue Lingchen, Nai Shen Erfu, Jing Er Weiyi, Shu Shen Erde." Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

The message is to the effect: On this beautiful and auspicious day, you will be dressed as an adult, maintain your majesty, cultivate virtue, and live a long life. Another meaning of Piben is that from now on you can serve in the military.

He took off his leather and took a knight and put it on his son. (Similar to Piben, named Jue Ben with Jue Wei.) Juetong 'finch', Juewei should be a red and black bird feather. That's why the knight is a hat made of bird feathers. ）

Wei Zhenglang said: "Three plus: the right of the year, the order of the month." Salty gar suit. The brothers are there, in order to become a virtue, Huang Lao has no borders, and he is celebrated by the sky. ”

The message is to the effect: In the name of the years, I will add adult clothes to you, and may your brothers, friends, and brothers be respectful, achieve good morals, be protected by heaven, and live a long life. Jueben means that from now on, you will be eligible to participate in the sacrifice.

The crowning is completed, and it is the word given by the teacher.

Xiao Yu stepped aside and asked Lao Li Gang to go to the center. This Confucian has a strong body, and although his steps are slow, his temperament is extraordinary. Stretched out his hand and pressed it lovingly on Xiao Rui's head, and said loudly: "Xiao Rui, today you are an adult." Lingzun named you Rui, which means forge ahead and invincible! But if you are sharp, you can't keep it for a long time, and it's easy to break if it's just right, and the mean is the way. Therefore, today's teacher will take the word 'Zangfeng' for you, and I hope you will remember the way of survival, be upright, love the country and family, and have a smooth road in life in the future! ”

Xiao Rui kowtowed: "Xiao Rui Xiao Zangfeng, thank you for the words, the students must remember the teachings of Mr." ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Licheng! ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said to the guests: "Thank you for coming to participate in the children's crown ceremony in your busy schedule, and the Bo Jiu family banquet has been prepared, please move to the banquet hall." ”

Everyone talked and laughed Yan Yan out of the Xiao family ancestral hall, Xiao Rui supported the old Li Gang all the way, the old man asked with concern on the road, and traveled thousands of miles away in Youzhou, but you must pay attention to safety.

After the feast, the guests took their leave. According to the etiquette system, Xiao Yu personally sent Lao Li Gang out of the door, and was rewarded with silk skins (five silk horses and two deer skins), and a number of livestock gifts. These treatments did not even have Emperor Li Er.

From then on, Xiao Rui finally had a name. In the future, among the peers, whoever calls Xiao Rui will be disrespectful to scolding, and he must be called Zangfeng.

Ancient saying: The name is in the right body, and the word is in the form of virtue. The names are each other's inside and outside, so in ancient times, children were born with a small name, and then they learned to have a big name, and when they became adults, they took a table word, and they were called names together. For example, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms: the nickname is Apu, the big name is Cao, and the word Mengde is taken when he becomes an adult.

The rules of the name have continued until the Republic of China, the new cultural movement that began during the Republic of China, was affected by Western culture, and the habit of taking the table word gradually disappeared, and many celebrities, such as Mr. Yang Zhenning, did not have the word table.

In modern times, many families who pay attention to the table also have to give their children words, and the older generation may explain that the name is a name, and if there is a name, there must be a word, and a name is a Chinese person. It is a kind of cultural inheritance.

And the rules for taking the table word are also very simple, Zhou Li said, according to the brother ranking to take the word: Bofu (Bo, Zhong, Uncle, Ji), such as Mr. Chen Duxiu's table word: Zhongfu.

Another way to take the word is to paraphrase, extend, or supplement the name. For example, Cao Cao, Cao has the meaning of integrity, take the word Mengde, Meng is ranking, virtue is a synonym of Cao, often said that virtue and integrity, hence it. Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou, Zhong is ranked, and the word Mou is taken from Quanmou. Li Bai's character is too white, Du Mu, and the word Muzhi are all extensions of the name.

Xiao Rui's Zang Feng is a supplement to the name Rui.

Of course, the ancients also paid attention to quoting scriptures, and most of the table words can basically find the source from the ancient scriptures. For example: Cao Cao's character Mengde, "Xunzi" has the sentence "The husband is the virtue of the exercise". The Tang Dynasty writer Lu Yu's character Hongjian is taken from "Zhou Yi": Hongjian is in Lu, and its feather can be used as an instrument.

There is also a kind of name and character that are antisense, such as the Song Dynasty Zhu Xi character Yuan Hui, Xi and Hui are antisense.

In ancient times, men had a crown ceremony, women had a crown ceremony, men had a crown at twenty, and women had a crown at fifteen.

It is also a type of ancient Jiali. It is a coming-of-age ceremony for Han women. It is commonly known as "going up" and "going up the head". 笄, that is, hairpins. Since the Zhou Dynasty, it was stipulated that aristocratic women should perform the ritual before marrying after the engagement (marriage). It is generally held at the age of fifteen, and if one has not been allowed to marry, it is also performed until twenty.

The shou fu is to change the hairstyle of the young during the ceremony, tie the hair into a bun, then wrap the hair in a black cloth, and then insert the hairpin into the bun. The person who officiates the ceremony is the head of the female household, and the female guest invited is the maiden's crown, indicating that the girl can marry when she reaches adulthood.

After receiving the edict, aristocratic women generally received adult education in the palace or clan, and were awarded "women's virtues, women's appearance, women's merits, and women's words", etc., as a daughter-in-law must have the skills of dealing with people, serving her aunt's morality and courtesy, and working with women. In later generations, it was changed to the mother of the girl to declare the precepts and teach them to be courteous, which was called "teaching tea".

Song Zhuxi's "Zhuzi Language" volume 89: "[Guanli] is a matter in your own house, what is it difficult to do? After closing the door, how difficult is it to put the scarf crown on the children? Therefore, in some areas, since the Song Dynasty, the rituals are simple, do not entertain guests, and only take place within the home or within the confines of one's own home.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it was mostly held a few days before or the day before the marriage.

After the crown salute, Xiao Rui should prepare to travel far. Before leaving, you need to go to the palace to say goodbye to Xiangcheng, and at the same time discuss some things about Youzhou with the emperor.

When Emperor Li Er heard him mention Liu Renliang, his heart suddenly changed, "Transfer Liu Renliang to Yushitai?" So that's what your kid said? ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Renliang was born in the Qin Palace, and His Majesty cultivated it single-handedly, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" ”

He didn't realize the conditions that the emperor said, and the two of them missed it like this, otherwise if they thought about it, Lao Wei was afraid that it would be over.

Lao Wei was doing his daughter's work at home at this time: "If you really have to marry Xiao Rui in this life, then this is your only chance, how to choose, don't regret it." ”
