In ancient times, the coming-of-age ceremony for boys and the hairpin ceremony for girls were extremely formal, with many requirements. Aspects such as venue, attire, ritual utensils, and music all had numerous stipulations.
However, in modern times, while the Adult Ceremony still emphasizes some traditions, it also has new adaptations.
Take the venue for instance, there's no longer a need to hold the ceremonies in ancestral temples as was done in ancient times. Nowadays, even outdoor venues are permitted.
Leng Mei's Adult Ceremony, due to the large number of invited guests, was held in the Leng Family Mansion. After all, the Leng Family Mansion boasts well over a thousand square meters of space, which is extremely roomy.
The venue for the Adult Ceremony was arranged in the very center of the courtyard, where a small stage, about a meter high, had already been set up.
