Hong Kong Chiu Sheung School, Sai Wan | Coming of Age Ceremony 'Out of the Garden' Cultural Day 2026
Description
According to ancient Chinese tradition, young men reached adulthood through the Capping Ceremony at age twenty, while young women observed the Hair-Pinning Ceremony at age fifteen. In Teochew culture, the "Out of the Garden" coming-of-age ceremony takes place at the nominal age of fifteen. This rite of passage fundamentally signifies a transformation of personal identity. Transitioning to "adulthood" grants individuals adult privileges, yet requires them to relinquish those of childhood. Adulthood represents independence and autonomy, while carrying duty and responsibility.
