According to the weekly system, men perform crown salutes at the age of 20, but the princes of the Son of Heaven salute more early in order to take charge of state affairs as soon as possible. Legend has it that Zhou Wen was crowned at the age of fifty-two, and Cheng Wang was crowned at the age of fifteen.

In some areas, since the Song Dynasty, the rituals are simple, no banquets are given, and only within the home or within the confines of the house.

The Han Dynasty attaches great importance to the crown ceremony, "Later Han Shu Confucianism Biography", Zhou Fangnian 16, Shijun officials.

The crown ceremony of the emperor of the Han Dynasty was called the Canadian dollar service, and the emperor of the Han Hui made the crown salute, announcing the "pardon of the world", and the beginning of the emperor's crown ceremony and amnesty of the world. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was crowned, and he was rewarded, reduced or exempted from taxes, and celebrated all over the world. Emperor Zhao's Canadian Yuan Suit, in order to distinguish it from the crown ceremony of his ministers, also wrote a crown speech, which was the beginning of another crown speech for later emperors. Han Dynasty Shishu crown ceremony, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the "god of the scriptures" Zheng Xuan of the same name of the "sea of learning", the scholar He Xiu made the crown ceremony, refer to the "Rites and Rites" and simplified, for one plus. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the chaos of the Five Wants, the crown ceremony was abolished for a time. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the Han family etiquette was restored, and the Tang emperor, the crown prince, the prince, and the officials all formulated various levels of crown etiquette. However, not a lot of it has been implemented. After hundreds of years of impact after the Han Dynasty, the weakening of the crown ceremony is obvious. Liu Zongyuan said in the "Answer Wei Zhongzhong on the Taoist Book of the Master", "Guanli, people have not done it for hundreds of years", saying that there was a person named Sun Changyin at that time, "acting alone with anger", and after the crown ceremony, he imitated the story of Zhao Wenzi seeing Luan Shu and so on, and went to the court the next day, hoping that the ministers could teach him. After arriving at the outer court, Sun's recommendation wat said to the secretary: "A certain son is crowned.

It can be seen that the ministers of the imperial court no longer know what the crown gift is. The specific age is uncertain, generally around 20 years old. For example, Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty formulated the ceremony of the crown ceremony in his "Book of Rites": a man between the ages of 12 and 20 can perform the crown ceremony as long as his parents do not have more than one period of mourning. "Zhuzi's Family Rites" also follows the main rituals of Sima Guang's "Shuyi", but stipulates that the crown year is fifteen to twenty years for men, and puts forward corresponding requirements from the aspect of knowledge, "If you are a gentleman who is good at ancient times, and his son is more than fifteen years old, he can read the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects", and know the prescription of etiquette and righteousness. And the Song Dynasty scholars, who were also in the Song Dynasty, also had disagreements and arguments over the age of the crown ceremony. Some people cite the record of Lu Xianggong's twelfth crown in the "Zuo Chuan" to advocate that the age of the crown ceremony be advanced to twelve years old, but the physicist Cheng Yi resolutely opposed. He said, "No." The crown is responsible for adults, and twelve years is not a time to blame. He believes that since he is crowned, he must be responsible for adult affairs, otherwise it will be a false courtesy. If he cannot be held accountable for adult matters after the crown ceremony, he cannot be expected to become an adult for the rest of his life, so "even if the princes of the Son of Heaven are crowned, they will also be crowned by twenty." ”
Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms, when the average man reached the age of sixteen, he would basically perform the crown ceremony, one was the death of a large number of talents at that time, which led to the lack of talents, and the other was the need for war.
