Interestingly, in ancient times, when a boy reached the age of 20, he had to hold a ceremony of "tying the crown" to show his manhood. At this time, he had to choose words. When a girl 15 years old, a ceremony of "tying her hair and adding weight" will be held to show that she can get married. At this time, she also has to choose words.
