aone Posted August 3, 2014 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 at 01:07 AM Yes, you are right. According to the serch result, http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%E5%BC%81&ie=utf-8 .A capping ceremony will be held by the father in ancestral temples when a man is 20. This is ceremony is not for ordinary citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKC Posted August 3, 2014 at 02:10 PM Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 at 02:10 PM I would be grateful if someone could clarify the capping ritual for me. I believe that the 緇布冠 is worn first. This would be followed by the 皮弁. Where does the 爵弁 fit in? Is it worn over the 皮弁? Thanks. WK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
