The Coming of Age Ceremony in Ancient China
In ancient China, the coming-of-age ceremony was an essential ritual for a child that had grown up. It dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, with a history over 2,000 years. The purpose of the ceremony was to put the initiate through various difficulties, and finally bring them into adult society. According to the Book of Rites (《礼记》) records, males should take part in a capping ceremony (冠礼) at 20, while female a hairpin ceremony (笄礼) takes place at 15. Both were hosted by the elderly of the clan (家族) according to tradition.
In ancient China, when a young man reached 20 years old, the capping ceremony would be held. It consisted of several procedures. The hair of the young man should be done up and pinned. Then three caps of different materials which carried different meanings should be placed the youth’s head. After this, the father or other seniors would appoint an alias (取字) to the new adult apart from his name. Only those men who had been through the “Three Caps Ceremony” and had an alias could get married.
Capping Ceremony
The hair-pinning ceremony would be held when a girl was 15 years old. At the ceremony the mother or another senior did up and pinned the girl’s hair. This change of hairstyle meant that the girl had reached maturity (成熟) and can get married.

If
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
(Excerpts from If-by Rudyard Kipling)

If -
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting.
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or. being hated. don't give way to hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -nor lose the common touch:
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
