摘　　要：冠礼是我国古代的成人礼。从冠礼举行前的筮日筮宾,正礼时的三加、取字,到冠者拜见国君、乡大夫、乡先生,都是围绕"青年成人"这一主题而展开。仪式既体现了对青年外在仪容举止的要求,也注重对其道德品行的训示,具有文明传承、伦理教化和人格养成等方面的教育功能。冠礼仪式流程设计合理、严谨、周密,有利于因时制宜地进行创造性继承和转化。其象征性符号和言语动作所体现的成熟的生命意识、个体与群体意识,有助于人们树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观。The capping ceremony is the ancient Chinese coming-of-age ceremony.The pre-ceremony divination of the auspicious day and the honorable guest,the threefold capping and styling at the ceremony,and the capped one paying respects to the monarch,township scholar-officials and township teachers are all carried out around the theme of"youth-to-adulthood".The ceremony not only embodies the appearance requirements but also emphasizes the moral instruction for the one to be capped,with educational functions in cultural heritage,ethical enlightenment and personality development.The capping ceremony is designed scientifically,rigorously and thoroughly,and thus conduces to appropriate,creative inheritance and transformation.The mature life consciousness and individual-group consciousness reflected in the ceremony's symbols,speech and action can help people establish the correct world view,outlook on life and values.
