I'm a little confused about ancient women's clothes and ancient men's weak crowns, so I ask for leave ~
So what you are talking about is indeed the rite of passage for ancient women. Moreover, after the ceremony, you can call her by name, which means you can officially name her. Later, this choice of words was linked to betrothal, that is, at the age of fifteen, no one came to propose and no one wanted it. Just wait. Someone is going to propose. When will you give her a gift and name? Therefore, if you are not engaged, even if you are over 15 years old, you will not attend this ceremony. This is called "waiting for the word", which means that someone will start after getting engaged.
Second, the weak crown: the ancient man was crowned at the age of 20. Therefore, the "weak crown" is called 20 years old, weak means young, wearing an adult hat on the crown and holding a big gift. /kloc-those under 0/9 are called boys. In The Analects of Confucius, there are "five or six champions, six or seven boys". The champions here are those who are qualified to wear hats, which means adults, while boys refer to all kinds of teenagers over 19 years old.
In ancient times, men, like women, became famous at the age of three, and at the age of twenty, they wore a crown and began to write. Why is this word? After the coronation ceremony, it means that you are an adult. Besides parents and teachers, other friends and teenagers can't call themselves by their first names. Let's start with one word, which is also called ideograph. Therefore, women have words when they are fifteen, and men have words when they are twenty.
Third, you said that Wang Qing (pro) is not necessarily 12 years old. This mainly depends on whether the person crowned "early" has a happy childhood-the emperor of an ancient country is old and weak, or died, and his successor is still young. Every generation will do this. The little guy who has been made a prince or a new emperor is still very young, not to mention the champion, and sometimes even the boy is not counted. But in order to let him take over as early as possible, we have to make an exception and let him have the coronation ceremony as early as possible. As long as the new emperor is capable of presiding over state affairs three years after his father's death, he can be crowned in advance, regardless of size, so he is not necessarily twelve years old. Mainly depends on whether the little emperor is healthy and long-lived.
Emperor Kangxi, because his father the emperor shunzhi died early, he was only eight years old when he became king, and he got married four years later. May be at this time, on the one hand, recognize a good father-in-law to fight against Ao Bai, on the other hand, you can prove that you are an adult and can take charge by getting married. Therefore, his coronation ceremony should be at this time.
Of course, there are also opposite examples. Like Ying Zheng, the first emperor of China, his coronation ceremony was not advanced, but postponed. Ying Zheng/Kloc-acceded to the throne at the age of 0/3, and ascended the throne at the age of 22 (at the coronation ceremony), two years later than normal. -This is because the king of Qin was young and the prime minister Lv Buwei was selfish and wanted to seize power for a long time. So he has been suppressing coronation. When the king of Qin was twenty-two, he had to let Ying Zheng do it.
