“Picking Apple” – Girl mitzvah

I don’t know how children today spend their 18th birthday, whether they are collectively swearing at the college entrance examination swearing-in meeting. Anyway, I haven’t experienced it, my 18-year-old passed quietly in the beauty and sorrow of unrequited love in that beautiful campus in Changchun.

Huaxia people have had a coming-of-age ceremony since ancient times. This is a coming-of-age ceremony, and the sense of ritual is very strong. The poem “Ping Ping” is about a girl’s coming-of-age ceremony. In this solemn ceremony, the girls need to collect apple grass and algae, wash them and cook them into dishes for sacrifice. The whole process must be completed by the girl who is about to come of age. This is a ceremony and a test at the same time. From then on, the girl can get married and start a new life that belongs to her.

One point is all the way to go
