Different cultures all over the world have different rite of passage. In China, the traditional adult ceremony is represented by male "crown ceremony" and female "ceremony", while the contemporary adult ceremony is dominated by "18-year-old adult ceremony education" initiated by the Communist Youth League.

The characteristic of modern adult ceremony is that men and women attend at the same time and are of the same age. In "18-year-old adult ritual education", there is no obvious goal of gender construction for young men and women. The adults it refers to almost do not contain gender factors, while the classical adult ceremony or local adult ceremony points to making the recipient be male or female without exception, even if the recipient becomes a qualified member of society, making it "sexual".
