As children grow up, they have a birthday every year.But in modern China, a birthday held at the age of 18 has special meaning.It's the celebration of coming of age(成年).
In ancient China, the coming-of-age ceremony was very important for the young people.According to The Book of Rites(《礼记》), it was the symbol of their right (权利) to get married and their duty(义务) to share family responsibilities.Only after the ceremony could the young people be called "adults".
At the coming-of-age ceremony, after all the guests sat in the right position, the parents would give a short speech.A respected(受尊敬的) elder that was chosen to hold this ceremony would wash hands and do the Guan Li or Ji Li in several steps.Then, the child would kneel on the ground and listen to his or her parents' expectations and words used to educate the child.After showing thanks to guests, he or she could stand next to his or her parents as a real adult.
In modern China, the coming-of-age ceremony in some universities and senior high schools is getting its popularity.Besides a traditional ceremony mentioned above, some young people may wear traditional Chinese clothing or modern clothing and take professional photos to record this special event.Some choose to make a charitable donation(慈善捐赠) such as giving money or time to a charity or an organization.They also reflect on their achievements to set better plans for their future education, career(职业生涯) or personal development.

During the rainy season, rainwater along these waterways moves down the mountains and into the terraces.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} This forms clouds and then rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
