WKC Posted August 2, 2014 at 05:07 PM Report Posted August 2, 2014 at 05:07 PM Hi all, Does anyone know if 弁 is the cap used in the capping ceremony during the Zhou Dynasty? Many thanks. WK Quote
aone Posted August 3, 2014 at 01:07 AM Report 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

WKC Posted August 3, 2014 at 02:10 PM Author Report 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
