重庆市大渡口区2024年中考二模英语试题
When do you become an adult (成年人)? The answers are different from country to country. In modern China, adulthood for both boys and girls starts at the age of 18. By the time most people reach 18, they have finished high school and are ready for university. So a person's 18th birthday often means a celebration of both adulthood and the start of college life.
Did children in ancient China become adults at 18? In fact, boys in ancient China became adults at 20 and girls at 15. And there was a ceremony to celebrate this time. After the ceremony, a young person could be called an "adult".
For girls, the ceremony was called Ji Li. "Ji" is a kind of hairpin (发夹). In ancient times, only girls from rich families could have this ceremony. It was simple and didn't take much time. Before the ceremony, a girl would tie her hair on the top of her head. At the ceremony, a woman in the family would put a hairpin on a girl's hair. It meant she was now an adult. After the ceremony, she needed to learn a lot, like the right way to speak and dress.
For boys, the ceremony was called Guan Li. ▲ Before the ceremony, a boy's family often chose a lucky day and invited many guests. On that day, the boy needed to dress up. The father would wash hands and put three hats on the boy's head, one by one. Then the boy would change into another set of clothes to go with the color of the hats. After these steps, the boy would become a "man".
