What was the coronation ceremony of ancient men? What are the details and etiquette?

1. The coronation ceremony of men is often held in the ancestral hall of the family. The date of the coronation ceremony is usually February every year. Before the coronation ceremony, the ancients had to perform divination to determine the specific date and time of the coronation ceremony. Sometimes, when people hold a coronation ceremony, they have to worship heaven, land and ancestors first. Crown ceremony plays an important role in the history of China, and its significance is also very significant to the family. Therefore, when a coronation ceremony is held for family members, all people should dress up to show respect. The most important thing in a person's coronation ceremony is to crown him. To be crowned is to put a hat on it. The ancients paid attention to multiple crowns. Generally speaking, they have to wear three hats with different meanings to finish.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, men also curl their hair, which is called tying their hair. Then the elders will put hats on them. The hat you are wearing is also very delicate. This hat is divided into three layers. Later, when attending some special occasions, they will wear different hats to show a kind of etiquette. After the ceremony, a banquet will be held and all ethnic groups in the village will be invited to attend. After the coronation ceremony, the elders in the family need to choose a special "word" for their men. This is why some of our common ancient people have their own specific "words", all of which were chosen at the coronation ceremony.

The date of the coronation ceremony should be decided by the "Divination Day" and the ceremony will be held in the ancestral temple. Before the ceremony, all the people attending the ceremony should bathe and fast, and the clothes they wear on the day of the ceremony should be polite. In the coronation ceremony, the coronator usually wears three hats in turn, which is called "three crowns". The first tarpaulin hat means that you are an adult and can act independently; The second is usually made of animal skins, which means that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man; The third is the plain crown, which was often worn by the ancients in sacrificial ceremonies, indicating that they were qualified to sacrifice. Every time a crown is added, the crown giver should say some words of blessing, or place high hopes or point out the direction, and then add words to worship the ancestors.

In the whole coronation ceremony, the guest of honor played a vital role. Therefore, when the big guest leaves, the host family will give him a heavy gift. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the coronation ceremony has spread in ancient China. The five dynasties of Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Ming all attached great importance to crown ceremony. From 65438 to 0644, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the crown ceremony was seriously damaged due to the influence of shaving and changing clothes. After that, the coronation ceremony, which lasted for more than 2000 years, ended.
