Women have gifts, which are also called "adding gifts" or "making gifts". Strictly speaking, this gift can't be called a rite of passage, because the status of ancient women was very low, so it was not defined as a specific year of adulthood like men. It didn't matter whether women were adults at that time. The important thing is that she can marry someone and get married.

Therefore, gifts are also inseparable from women's marriage. A woman is fifteen years old. As long as she has been betrothed to someone else, she can make a gift. If you are not engaged by the age of 20, you should also give a gift. In other words, women must not be over 20 years old at the latest.

So-called? Hey? It's just a hair ornament, a long ornament, used to fix hair. Women who are not engaged can't tie their hair. Only married women or engaged women can pull up their hair and fix it later.

Generally speaking, women need to go through a series of training before saluting. However, the content of training is different from that of men. What women learn is how to teach their husbands and children, how to keep the way of women, how to serve their husbands better and how to do housework.

Gifts are usually hosted by one's own family, and sometimes venerable female elders in the family are invited as guests. If they have money or power, they usually send formal invitations to their elders' homes to show their formality and respect.

In ancient times, the gift ceremony not only represented women's adulthood, but also marked that women were about to get married and start a new life in the future. Therefore, it was a very important thing and was highly valued by everyone. When a woman wears this ornament, everyone will know that she has been betrothed to someone else, so the matchmaker will not come to say goodbye.
