Male students in "Hanfu", an ancient costume of the Han ethnic people, attend a coming-of-age ceremony in Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, June 19, 2011. Some 30 high school graduates participated in a traditional coming-of-age ceremony to mark their entry into adulthood by putting on caps or hairpins. In ancient China, caps and hairpins are adornments strictly reserved for grown men and women respectively. [Photo/Xinhua]
